Happy Valentine's Day

So Valentine's Day has always been a holiday that Pat and I enjoy. Our wedding anniversary is February 11th and so we have sort of combined our celebrations the last few years. Well this year we celebrated our anniversary up at Yosemite, which was great. The weather was beautiful and our hotel was very nice. We stayed for one night and my mom stayed with Jenna. When we got home on Friday, my mom told us that Jenna had a bit of a rough night and was coughing a lot. Friday night was the same, and by Saturday night, she was downright sick. She had a fever, and was coughing so much. We used our usual meds and did a breathing treatment, and decided against the ER, figuring they would likely do the same things we were already doing. This morning we headed to urgent care, and after a three hour wait, Jenna was finally seen. She has an ear infection, and an upper respiratory infection. We were given antibiotics, and told to keep doing motrin, a humidifier, and our nebulizer as needed. The doctor didn't swab her for RSV, but said it's likely that she has it. The treatment for that is the same as what we are already doing so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyways, we headed home and put Jenna down for a much needed nap. She slept for about 2 hours in her crib and then woke up crying. She was miserable. Poor baby was shivering and shaking and kept crying out in pain and grabbing for her ear. She wouldn't eat or drink. So pitiful. Within about 45 minutes, she was asleep on Pat's chest, and she slept for another 2 hours there. Her fever keeps spiking and dropping. We are alternating tylenol and motrin. This poor kid can't catch a break.

Our heart-shaped pizza from Me & Eds. So yummy. Jenna was doing a little better by dinner and actually ate a little and tolerated a bath. She's back in her crib and we are hoping for the best for tonight. Thank goodness it's a 3 day weekend.

Superbowl Sunday

For the last couple years we have enjoyed celebrating the Superbowl with our friends, particularly our friend Abby. Abby grew up in Indianapolis and is thus a die hard Indianapolis Colts fan. Well the Colts made it to the Superbowl this year so it was especially exciting. For Jenna's birthday Abby included an official Payton Manning jersey that she bought in Indiana. So of course, we had to dress Jenna for the occasion.
Seriously...how cute is she??

The look of defeat....sadly, our team did not win.
And just for fun....can you believe how much she has changed since last year?!

Little Mommy

Jenna got this baby doll for her first birthday. She has recently started taking an interest in her. She is a hard-body doll because you are supposed to take her in the bath tub with you. She's naked because that's how Jenna prefers it. Anyways, if you tell Jenna to go find the baby she will search for this doll. She was super cute with her tonight and was pointing out all her body parts. Then she took her sippy cup of water and offered it to the dolly. How do they know?? So cute if you ask me
