At 10 months, Olivia spiked her first fever. I was driving home from work one Saturday, thinking all is well with the world, when S tell me Olivia feels "warm". I hate that word. I don't want to hear "warm"... I want to know the exact number the thermometer reads. 103. I panic a bit, calls coworker, give tylenol, holds her warm little head while it droops on my shoulder. This repeats for the next 36 hours until Monday when we go to the pediatrician. Ear Infection. Two weeks of Amoxicillin and Olivia is good as new. We celebrate Xmas in a big big way. Olivia is back to her happy (snotty) self, when 2 days later (again on a Saturday), fever of 101. WTF. Back to the Doctors - same ear infection! Now we are on Omnicef, one more day to go. Fingers crossed...
10 months if filled with big milestones - Olivia went from military style belly crawling to up on all fours zooming from place to place. Sometimes her limbs get ahead of her body and she splatters on the ground. She can also go from laying down to sitting no problem. It's really cute when she sit mid-crawl to take a break.
She has been waving "bye" for awhile now, but recently she can hold up one finger when you demonstrate first. I think it's in anticipation of her first birthday!
Some Christmas pictures of the cute little elf from her first Christmas. She was very well behaved, esp for a baby with an ear infection (we didn't know at the time).
