Stomach bugs are no joke

Abby had another first- her first stomach bug.  It was a terrible bug that both Leif and I caught (and now my mom and dad have as well...) so we can say with first hand experience that it is plain miserable.  It has taken a great deal of time to rebound from this one.  Yesterday was the first day that Abby ate her normal amount of milk- she's still not so keen on solids but is slowly working her way back to them.  Sick babies are scary- I've spent the past week concerned that Abby was dehydrated- I pushed water and milk on that poor girl like crazy.  Amidst her sickness though, Abby still found strength and energy to play a bit- she just amazes us.

Abby is saying "woah" now and it is adorable.  Yesterday in daycare, they went for a walk and evidently when they went over the speed bump, Abby exclaimed "Woah!"  Abby is also hitting the stage of separation anxiety.  10 months is right around when it hits and it is heart breaking at times.  This week has been tough- bringing her in to daycare has involved some tears (both from mama and baby), tugs, and extra long hugs.  Abby is happy as can be when we pick her up from daycare though- that's so reassuring.  :)

We're due for a bit of snow tomorrow and are hoping that we'll be able to take Abby's sled out for a spin around town if enough falls. :)

Have a happy weekend, y'all! :)  Sending love and hugs! :)
