Sickie

I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear that Katy got sick again. This time, though, it was pretty awful. Her coughing was so bad, and her breathing so strained that we took her to the emergency room Sunday before dawn. She has bronchiolitis, an upper respiratory infection probably caused by RSV (a mean icky virus). She is feeling much better now, but the pediatrician told us yesterday that we can expect her to be sick at least until the end of the week. Great.

In other news, Katy is now eating the following: rice cereal, bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes, and apples. She still nurses like a champ. Her favorite noises are "kuh," "guh," and "daa". She is still not mobile, but is really thinking hard about how she's going to get moving. She loves her teddy bear (Rupert) and The Okay Book, by Todd Parr. After two months of watching Sesame Street's Sing Yourself Silly video every single morning, I decided to switch it up with a different Sesame Street video. Katy was not impressed. She's a creature of habit, it seems. She enjoys her swim lessons with Daddy, and still loves her morning bath.

No new pictures today - sorry!

Edited to add: She has suddenly become mobile in the past 5 minutes! She has crawled ALL over the living room. BACKWARDS! And it's really frustrating her, because I think she's trying to go forward. :)
