After two awful nights with Lily, I was like a walking zombie. (I really do need my night sleep)
We ended up going to the library in the morning after all.
Lily didn’t have much of a fever and she seemed in good spirits.
Once we got back home, I tried giving her some lunch but she still didn’t have much of an appetite.
I checked her fever and it was back up to almost 101.
Because she was cranky and in pain, I decided to give her some Ibuprofen before putting her down for her nap.
Well, it was the worst nap she ever took!
She woke up 4 times in the first 45 minutes of being asleep.
Then, woke up again twice in the next hour.
Every time she woke up, she was crying and cranky.
I know that when she wakes like that she isn’t ready to be awake yet so I kept on putting her back to sleep.
She finally slept for an hour straight and when she woke up she was her regular chipper self.
She woke up a whole different person.
Whatever was going on, I think she finally fought through during her crazy 3 hour nap.
She had a great lunch after her nap, we went to the park, she had a great dinner (YAY! her appetite is back), she went to sleep at her regular time and slept until 6am this morning.
It was a good and mellow one here. (still trying to recover from our month in Portugal and our trip back)
Our weekend started friday with AMW’s 1st birthday party. We know AMW through the library.
Her party was at the beautiful Emanu-El Temple near our house.
There was arts and crafts, lots of toys and kids for Lily to play with and there was sing along also! (even though it was in Hebrew, that didn’t stop Lily from dancing!)
Both Lily and I had a great time.
On our ride home, we stopped off to look at my favorite Christmas tree.
I don’t really know why it’s my favorite tree.
There is nothing really special about it, really. It is mostly lights.
I think the reason I like it so much is because through the years that I was working, on the way home, I would ride past it and it would just give me a warm Christmas feeling.
It was the first real time that Lily saw a Christmas tree. (last year doesn’t really count since she was not even 2 months old)
She was fascinated by all the lights.
Saturday night we went out to dinner and stared at the beautiful full moon.
Did everyone have a chance to see her? She has been just amazing lately.
On sunday, while I did some things around the house, Will took Lily to the beach.
It had been a little over a month since she had been there and even though the water is definitely colder, you know her, she had to get in it.
She can now walk herself to the water. Watch out!!
Hope you all have a great week.
Happy monday!!! 🙂 (can’t believe Thanksgiving is this thursday)
