Daycare called me last Friday morning and said that something was "just not right" with Nevaeh. She looked out of it, she wouldn't crack a smile, she wouldn't take a bottle (first time ever), and her temp was 101.7. So I took her to the doctor and sure enough, bad infections in BOTH ears. After an hour of Tylenol and an antibiotic in her system, she was back to her normal self, thank goodness.
Nevaeh has also started solid foods -- just rice cereal and peas for now. I guess she eats well at daycare and she used to eat well for me in the evenings, but now at suppertime, she prefers screaming and crying. She still eats all her food, but it is not without a fight. I should probably just throw in the towel for a little bit because I am obviously doing something wrong.
On a positive note, Nevaeh continues to love her jumperoo. She won't stay in it too terribly long and she seems to enjoy it more when I'm sitting next to her watching. I have seen her eyeing up the electrical outlets just slightly out of her reach, so it looks like I need to do something about that. She has been playing with her new Christmas toys lately -- the Rock-A-Stack, shape sorter, and Stack-A-Cups. She likes when I take a couple of cups and make them into a ball that she can hold, throw, and drop. No rolling over or sitting up on her own yet. She prefers being a blob, I guess. I can tell she's getting stronger and will soon be able to sit up on her own, but for now, she's bent over at the waist while playing with her toys. Last night I laid her on a blanket in the living room and ran to my bedroom to check my email. I came back not even 3 minutes later and she was off the blanket and almost under the Christmas tree. Apparently she has the "inchworm" movements down pat. It's funny to watch -- she lifts up her butt, pulls her knees forward, and then kicks out. I think this means no more unsupervised naps on Mama's bed! And she prefers standing up and trying to play with toys that way as opposed to laying on her tummy or sitting. She'll stand by herself for a couple seconds at a time or longer if she's holding onto the couch or a chair. Not real coordinated yet in that department, which is probably a good thing -- gives me a couple more months to get the apartment child-proofed!

How is Neveah doing? I missed seeing you two at Stacy and Dale's reception.
I hope she's feeling better.
Hey there, I actually blogged earlier this week but just realized that I never posted it. So I'm about to do that now and perhaps that will give you an answer to your question. :)
