She's On the Move!

Despite our best efforts, our baby girl is growing up! I put her down for "tummy time" today and before I knew it she just rolled over. Thinking back to when Brody rolled over we had to coax him with toys and it seemed as if it took him forever to get his head to move in the right direction, so when Ella just flipped over I thought it had to be a fluke. So I rolled her over again and immediately she was back on her back. We were hoping to keep her immobile for as long as possible, but I guess she is starting to exert some independence. There is no stopping her now!

This Ones for Daddy

I had to post this picture of Brody from dinner tonight for Brandon to see (he has been working out of town these days) - how pathetic huh?! Brody woke up in the middle of the night on Sunday with a fever and what I thought was an ear infection. I took him to an urgent care center (because these things always happen on the weekends, right?) and they confirmed it was an ear infection and a sore throat. His fever has been going up and down over the past two days and currently it is up again to 103.1 -- but down from 103.8. Not fun, for anyone! Brody has only had one other ear infection, so I am not used to all it entails. We have had two sleepless nights so far, and I am geared up for round three. Poor little guy. He keeps coming up to me after he swallows and says, "kiss it better" with his mouth wide open (so I can kiss his throat). So sad...its times like these I wish a mommy's kiss could make it all better.
