Boogie Princess

Anelya and I stayed in today, as she has had a very deep cough and, as of yesterday, a very icky, stuffy nose. I have been pumping her up with Elderberry, NAC, and a homeopathic to induce mucus drainage and VOILA! after 24 hours and some solid sleep, she is doing much better. Unfortunately, she started to cut a tooth (I think) tonight as soon as she was feeling better form the cold. Having said that, Anelya continues to be a very happy little girl.
Avocado has been a favorite finger food, as of late.
I put this new play yard together this a.m. and she LOVES it!

As you can see, a little shiny around the nose, but all smiles!


Tomorrow the plan is to meet Hoovie at the Diner for breakfast, as long as we all get some sleep tonight. Anelya slept well last night, but I listened to her cough all night and slept about four hours max. It's 6:50p.m. here. Anelya has been asleep for 30 minutes (she goes to bed at 6:30) and I am seriously contemplating going to bed myself. While I decide, I am snuggling with my furry kids, as they get lots of action, but not much snuggling these days.
After breakfast, we will make our way to Target, which is 40 minutes away. I will time it to go with her short a.m. nap. I need to buy all kinds of stuff; diapers, formula, pacifiers (Brody steals them all), nipples, stacking rings (Brody ate them all), etc. Maybe I should get two of everything and give Brody his very own!
Ok, decision made. I'm going to bed. Night, night!

Sorry to hear that your sweetie is sick. Get ready for perma-cold from daycare. Although that lasted the first year or so and then Miras must have built up immunity. Also, you can put Vick's vapo-rub on the soles of her feet (plus socks or footed pjs) and it will help with the coughing. I have NO idea how it works but it does and it's safer than putting it near her face (NOT good for kids to injest the stuff).

She sure is precious in spite of a boogered nose.

This is the story of how a single 30-something year old woman and a 6.5 month old angel from Kazakhstan found each other and became a family. A journey which started as a dream, became reality in August 2009 when two hearts found one home... together.
