This morning started out with just us girls, having a Mommy-Daughter breakfast while daddy slept in a little bit. We had blueberry waffles, yogurt and strawberries. Emerson’s favorite part was her Activia yogurt, except she spits out the little fruit bits, which is silly.

Y’all, Emerson had a GREAT day at school today. One of her favorite part-time staffers was in her room this morning, and Emmie was so excited to see her, she actually leaned & reached for her while I was holding her. Moments like that make it easier to leave her there every day! And then the school sent us all of these great photos of her having a blast out on the playground this morning!

Baby girl was showing off some leg at school today! Her little legs are just so soft & squishy & scrumptious!

We almost missed the window to wear this little outfit Emerson got for Christmas. (Pretty sure they’re from Jeff’s mom?) But we got them out of the drawer today, and they’re adorable! We have a mini long-haired Doxie, so the puppies on this outfit are just like her puppy! Perfect!
And now that I’m writing this (and she’s sound asleep in her crib), I realize we totally should have tried to get a photo of Emerson & Pretzel together!

Puppy Pants + Protection Read More »
Well it’s now Tuesday night, and Emerson hasn’t had a fever since Sunday morning, so I’m thinking we’re officially out of the viral woods! (Knock on wood that I didn’t just jinx her/us.) She went back to daycare today, even though she seemed to not be feeling quite a good as usual. I think she’s just still not completely well, so she was quieter & calmer this morning. She is however wearing a new outfit and new shoes, so maybe that’s making her feel a little better? Her little pants are adorable, but a little tight, and I kept singing the “tight pants” song from Jimmy Fallon. But look at these kitty shoes! These are one of the two pairs we got at Walmart yesterday for $5 each, and they’re just too cute.

We went to the doctor’s office first thing this morning, even though she hadn’t had a fever since first thing yesterday morning. Our usual doctor/friend Abby was off today, but we saw Mona the nurse practitioner, who we also really like. She said Emerson’s lungs sounded great and her ears were clear. So that means it was probably just something viral. We still kept her home one more day today though.

Well the day started out with Emerson crying screaming at 5:45am. We went running into her room, and she was drenched in sweat and super upset. She had another fever, back up to 103. We got her changed and calmed down, and then I just held her in the living room recliner for about an hour, while we both dozed off and on. Then we snuggled and watched Moana for a while. Finally, she started perking up and waking up, and so we got some breakfast. Daddy went to church, but Mommy & Baby stayed home.

Well after Emerson felt so bad last night (high fever & a one-time vomit), I was expecting today to still be rough. She woke up this early this morning with a relatively low fever, so I gave her some meds right away. And then the fever never came back! She wasn’t her usual spunky self, but she was pretty good. She ate pears for breakfast, and then while I cooked & ate my own breakfast, she had a TON of blueberry Puff’s and peach Cheerio’s.

Today for school spirit Friday, Emerson was rocking her “Fun to Be Fit” summer daycare shirt. And even though it’s a size 2T and obviously huge, she’s still adorable in it. And something about the t-shirt instead a onesie makes her seem like such a big girl. And those little shorty-shorts! Ah! Kill me!

Well this morning, Mommy was a goofball, and accidentally put on Emerson’s romper backwards. I snapped her all up the front just like everything was normal, and didn’t even notice until Jeff was carrying her to the car, that the cute little bow that’s usually on her belly button, was on her back… So I just took her to school like that, and they fixed it with her first diaper change.
