Healthy again...maybe.

Poor Clara has had quite the time lately! Two weekends ago, she got pink eye. It quickly spread to both eyes. At the same time, I got a killer cold, which she quickly caught. By the time we made it to the doctor, she had pink eye, the cold from you know where, and two ear infections. She was given eye drops and amoxicillin! Two days later, she puked, which made me worry she was allergic to amoxicillin since this was her first time taking the stuff. However, I think she must have just gotten a little stomach bug, because that only lasted the morning, thank goodness! So for the last two weeks, her appetite has been nonexistent and she's been fussy! Oh, I also managed to cut two of her fingers during one of her non-meals! Seriously, we had quite the two weeks! But I think we may have finally turned the corner! Her appetite isn't great yet, but she is much more cheerful! We may be on our way to being healthy once again! Oh, I forgot to mention she woke up with her two upper eye teeth yesterday, after pulling an all-nighter! Like I said, quite the two weeks!

Jammies in the morning outside.

Playing in the rocks.

Clara has been very interested in arranging things lately. Today, she sat in the rocks and started piling them up. After a few minutes, she had quite the pile! She's also arranged utensils, her food on her tray, her pile of dirty clothes, and her shoes as of late! OCD much?

Owie.

Clara fell on some cement steps at the nursery when we were picking up some annuals for mom's day gifts. It resulted in her first, big, bad owie.

the zoo.

A couple weeks ago when Teenie and boys were here, we hit up the zoo for some animal watching.  Clara was stunned at how tall the giraffe was!

But the biggest hit of the day for little miss were the lions.  She couldn't stop roaring at them, even though they were all quite lethargic!

They posed in a little hut in the African exhibit!

And in the same jeep as last year!  Here are jeep photos from this year!

And here are jeep photos from last year!  Those two look so little!

Teenie and Will found some alone time!

While Ben and Clara kissed!

There was more kissing that day...this time the beneficiaries were penguins!

The crew!  Clara and I, Mom and Ben and Will, Emmy, and Charlotte (Em's friend).  Teenie took this pic!

Ben got to pet a giant rabbit!

And both babes sate on a little tiger!

Our trip to the zoo ended with tears.  I think this is the norm.  We saw/heard many moms toting their kids out of the zoo accompanied by crying.  It was a great trip!
