Caitlin is doing a lot better since her adventure last weekend at Children's Hospital. To prove what a great time she had, I decided to add a few pictures of her. She is doing so much better now. We are still having a little bit of a hard time getting past the 6 ounces of food without getting sick but she is still doing great. So enjoy your pictures and the snow that is falling outside.

Weekend Review
So this past weekend was a crazy weekend for Miss Caitlin. She had a busy time meeting a bunch of new people...now most of you are thinking oh wow, Caitlin met some new friends, they had people over, etc. No, not the case, Caitlin met new people because she was admitted to Children's Hospital on Saturday morning.
Here is a little back story to get you up to date. On Monday evening our friends called to inform us that their children had been exposed and had croup. So on Tuesday as a precaution we went ahead and took Caitlin to see her doctor. Well sure enough she was diagnosed with viral croup. So we get her started on breathing treatments at home for 4 times a day as needed. So I (mommy) stay home with her on Wednesday just to be safe, plus Caitlin had a small fever (101.6) so we didn't want to get other kids at daycare sick. Well by Wednesday evening Caitlin seemed to have been doing much better. So she returns to daycare on Thursday. Does fine no fever, healthy appetite and all.
Then Friday rolls around....we again take her to daycare, she seems to be doing fine and all. We don't get a phone call from her daycare provider. So I pick Caitlin up at our usual time on Friday and her daycare lady is telling me about Caitlin's day, when out of nowhere she starts coughing nonstop and is throwing up, so of course I bring her home and call Derek at work. We take her temp and it is close to a 101.8!! So off to urgent care we go... they do their normal test for things, and come to the conclusion that Caitlin has brocholitatis. So we get the instructions to take her home and watch her fever and such. So there ends Friday night!
Early Saturday morning (6:00a.m.) we get up to check her diaper and her temp. Derek being the awesome dad and husband he is, goes ahead and takes the lead so I can sleep a little. Well he picked her up and noticed she was rather warm, so while changing the diaper he decides to check her temp....he walks into the room and says "Her fever is 102.8!" So of course we try the Tylenol to help bring it down, that doesn't work only increased the temp to 102.9 in 30 minutes, so off to Children's Hospital she went. We went to ER where they ran blood test, x-rays, gave her oxygen etc. The ER doctor decided that it would be best to admit Caitlin for the following reasons 1). Dehydration 2). Double Ear Infection. 3). Brocholitias and 4). Pneumonia. So we head upstairs to where Caitlin is finally admitted.

Happy Birthday Caitlin
So Caitlin is now 4 months old! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is really starting to become a lot more interactive with people and her toys. She really enjoys her jumperoo and excersaucer. Some of her favorite toys now seem to be her glow seahorse that her Uncle Mike got her for Christmas and of course her books. We are still in search of a Clifford dog for her as at Christmas she feel in love with her Aunt Valerie's dog....she really enjoys the cartoon on PBS that she gets to watch everyday after Mom picks her up from Roxanne's (the day care lady). Her accomplishments are now, she is rolling over with the best of them, really likes to "talk" and is trying to put her legs under her tummy...I am guessing she will be crawling soon.

A Christmas picture or two....
We have been a little busy with after holiday relaxing....so I am finally getting some pictures up of Caitlin and her 1st Christmas...I think the outfit she had that day says it best...."Who needs Santa, I've got Grandparents". She and all of us had a great Christmas and a great start to the new year.
