| Momma's little bookworm, couldn't find her and she was just reading in a quiet spot! |
It has been so HOT this summer that we have had to spend lots of time playing inside. We are getting a little bored and running out of ideas of things to do. We have spent a lot of time, climbing the stairs, reading books, and just having family time. I must admit, it is pretty nice!
Ava had her 15 month checkup with Dr. Raley this month. She was a nightmare, she saw the nurse and freaked out. This is not her normal behavior but Dr. R assured us that it is completely normal at this age. I still couldn't believe that my sweet Ava would act like this. A few days after her appointment, Ava was still a bear and I noticed that she had developed some blisters on her feet and in her mouth. I remember from my days at ECC that she probably had Hand, Food, & Mouth disease...not actually a disease, just a virus. It was Friday evening when I noticed the blisters, of course, so we took her to the Pediatric Urgent Care, and they confirmed my suspicion. Turns out, earlier that day she was sharing Cheetos with her Big Pop and gave him the virus too! It only lasted 3-5 days once we noticed the blisters. One morning, she woke up her normal, happy self! Thank goodness!!
