Sickness and a surprise

Our weekend was pretty low key. Clara has been sick since Tuesday night and unfortunately, her symptoms kept lingering. All. Weekend. Long. Lots of congestion, stuffy breathing, coughing, coughing and more coughing, and green snot have pretty much been our world. And this all happened after only a week of her being off an antibiotic for a sinus infection which means, there has been lots of sickness around here. Poor girl hasn't been sleeping well (at all) since of course her symptoms get worse at night, which I know is normal, just hard to watch her feel so pitiful. 

BUT. . . 
Despite all the sickness and snot, Clara surprised us with a HUGE milestone this weekend... 

She pulled to stand! 

Twice in therapy on Friday
(yes, I took her to therapy despite being sick, don't judge, I did take her to the Dr directly following so maybe that cancels out my stupidity?)

And several times Saturday and Sunday!

She crawled right up to the laundry basket and crate below, put her arms at the top of each, and pushed her cutie little self right on up... 

and then wiped three gallons of snot all over said laundry basket/crate. :)




And when she wasn't showing off her new skills, our weekend was pretty much spent like this...
We hardly left the house Saturday or Sunday. 
Being sick calls for a little extra Baby Einstein watching, right???




Here's to hoping that Clara's development only continues to flourish and surprise us,
while her sickness does not!

Clara 14 months

Clara turned 14 months on July 2nd! She is growing so fast and we are loving this stage of baby/toddler life. (I still call her my baby, but I know technically she is a toddler. How did that happen?)

Not too much has changed since last month except. . . .

SHE STARTED CRAWLING THIS MONTH!!! SO so so so proud of her!! She has worked so hard in OT over the last few months.

AND OFFICIALLY TRANSITIONED TO ONE NAP!!! She typically naps from 12-2:30 or 3pm. It is awesome. If she wakes too early in the AM then she will nap earlier around 11am-1:30pm or so. BEAUTIFUL!

Oh and started clapping!!! Cutest thing I have ever seen.

Other than that things are pretty similar to her 13 month update. Still no results from the EEG. No other major testing news/info to date. 

Here's a few pics of our cutie girl. . .







 Loves loves loves her piano. . . been a fav toy since she was 6 months old!

Her new thing is to crawl to the window and peek outside. . . especially fun when its raining!
