Easter Dreams

The pictures speaks for itself. Melody was having so much fun playing with her basket on and after Easter that she was even taking it to bed with her every afternoon since. I haven’t had the heart to take it away from her yet either. Hey why not let her keep playing with the eggs, they make great toys!

Melody has a fantastic time finding eggs! {22 months old}

Goodies from the Easter Bunny

Melody had a fun second Easter. Her day started out having to get woken up early for Easter church service followed by a visit to her Grandparents on her Dad’s side to ending with a fun Easter egg hunt filled with lots of goodies just for her put together by mommy and daddy. She also was big fan of her mommies first ever special coconut cake!

Happy Halloween! This will be Melody’s second Halloween and we are planning on making it a really fun one. Our town is hosting some great Harvest as well as Halloween fun! It’s raining right now but we are hoping that it clears up soon. Rain or shine, I’m sure we’ll still have alot of fun.

Melody has a Fairy, Dog, and Strawberry costume. I think when she goes out we’ll let her be a puppy dog since it will keep her alot warmer. I’ll post photos later this evening! I hope everybody else has a fun and safe Halloween too!

I had to share this video of Melody! Is not the laughter of a child the most precious thing? How innocent as well! I once read somewhere that the laughter of children will resonate with cheer an hope for us all.

Roseola Breakout

Mommy — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:34:25 +0000

Melody not only came down with a cold over the week but she also came down with Roseola. She had temperatures ranging to 100 to 103 which was pretty scary. I let her wander about in the near buff and constantly gave her luke-warm baths followed with damp cloth sponging to keep her comfortable and try to control the fever ( also used infant tylenol).

Some of the signs of symtoms of Roseola are:

Infants and toddlers routinely will develop sudden symptoms with a sudden high fever that lasts for three to five days, irritability, bulging “soft spot” on the head (fontanel), swollen glands in the front or back of the neck, runny nose, puffy eyelids (due to swelling with fluid), and mild diarrhea. Within 12-24 hours of the fever breaking, a rash rapidly appears. Older children who develop HHV-6 (or HHV-7) infection are more likely to have an illness characterized by several days of high fever and possibly a runny nose and/or diarrhea. Older children less commonly develop a rash as the fever abates.

Melody seems to be getting better but she is still pretty tired and to top it all off she also has another tooth coming in. She hasn’t been the happiest camper lately but can you blame her? I just hope my little girl gets better soon.

Her not feeling well has put me behind on reviewing and other things but family comes first
