Has it been a week already? ?

Wow, a week since my last post...Sorry about that! Somehow, the time has just gotten away from me. I am vowing to be a better blogger in June:)

Last Monday (Memorial Day), Elizabeth started tugging on her right ear. She didn't seem in pain, but she did have a low grade fever, so I took her to Urgent Care, and sure enough, she ended up having not just one, but both ears infected. She is on antibiotics, but has had a cold with conjestion all week. I'm going to take her to her regular doctor this week to make sure the ear infections are cleared up. Luckily, she has been happy and her normal active self all week.

Here are some pictures of her playing at our friend Karina's house today.

Fun at the beach

Some Elizabeth cuteness to start the long weekend:)

Oh how I love my little girl!

Sunday night

This evening we went to our friend Helga's house for dinner. Elizabeth had a great time, especially playing with Helga's 11 year old daughter Karina (who E absolutely worships). Also, Karina has a bunny and a dog, two of Elizabeth's favorite things!

Back at work :(

Sorry to be a crummy blogger lately. I do have lots to share. After having a week off, I'm back at work today. Sooo not glad to be back. Elizabeth and I really had fun during out time off. Lots of stroller rides, playground time and just relaxing together at home. Health wise, she is ok. She continues to be congested, but no fever. She is eating and playing fine. Her Dr. suggested she may have Asthma, but isn't going to diagnose her with it yet. We'll see, I guess. I give her medicine at night and in the morning with an inhaler and mask type thingy (to use the medical terminology), and run the cool mist vaporizor in her room all night. And she is still congested! Ugg... Anyway, she is cheerful and active, so I'm glad about that. She cried when I dropped her at Day Care this morning, since it has been a whole week since she has been there. :( I hate that...I hate having to work full time. I am really missing my little girl today.
She is really growing up fast! I bought her a little potty, which she likes sitting on. She doesn't do anything, but is happy to sit on it:) I'm not starting potty training or anything, she still isn't ready, I just got it to get her used to it, and so she will feel comfortable with it.
We went to the playground yesterday, and a guy had a huge pet bunny, which Elizabeth got to pet. This absolutely made her day! Also, she can now climb up the stairs and go down the slide all by herself. I can't believe it, but she no longer wants or needs my help at all with it. This is great, but I'm also a little like, what happened to my little baby?? What's next, driving lessons??
I have a few pics on my home computer which I hope to post tonight. I wanna be a SAHM...

Using the potty- sort of...

We're back!

So how do you like our new look? A HUGE shout out to Donna for giving my blog a much needed make over! If you haven't gone on her blog, go check out her little cutie pie, Lauren.
Things have been kind of crazy here. Elizabeth and I are taking an unplanned vacation. She has been conjested and coughing some, so yesterday I took her to the doctor. The Dr. said that since she had a fever earlier in the day, and is coughing, she technically has "influenza-like symptoms" and therefore has to stay home from Day Care until next Wednesday 5/13. Luckily, Elizabeth seems to be feeling pretty well- playing and eating normally. So we are enjoying some "together time" for a few days. I think making her stay home until next Wed. is kind of overkill, but hey, I'm not going to complain about being able to be a "stay at home mom" for a week!
In other news, my best friend here in San Diego is in the hospital. She has diabetes, and is also being treated for cancer. The chemo is causing havoc to her system, and with the diabetes, it is even more dangerous. She is doing ok, but they are pumping her up with antibiotics and nutrients. Not sure when she will be getting out.
I guess that is all the news for now. I better go do some unpacking while Miss E is napping!

Beach baby!

We had a great day today at the beach with my friend Karina and her little niece and nephew. Elizabeth loved the sand and water. She is a true beach lover, just like her mommy:)
