Then on Sunday night the bug crept from our throats to our ears, eyes, and noses. We were sneezing, coughing wrecks. And Vivi was still feeling it too. Plus, she is teething (again? or is it just a constant state from here until she’s seven or so?). That night she woke us up hourly, and Curt’s uncharged cell phone, Jamie’s barking, and Lunar’s cover-hogging did their parts to contribute to a delirious morning. I wound up using leave Monday to come back here after working only a half day just to rest.
Mom spent the night Monday night to give us a break if Viv had a bad night again. Fortunately, Viv woke up only once that night and last night. We have moved the crib into our room instead of the pack’n’play bassinet which has a very crinkly, scritchy- sounding mattress. We also bought a cool mist vaporizer to help her with her congestion. One or both of those things may have helped. Also, just today, her top right tooth broke through the gum. The top left one won’t be far behind.
Another new development for Viv is sitting. She can’t quite maintain the seated pose, but she can do it for just a few seconds by herself. She likes trying to sit so much that even in her bouncer and her kick’n’play, which are designed for reclining, she attempts to sit upright. She has also just started lifting her behind into the air during tummy time, so she is learning the components of crawling. She just needs to get them all together. We’ll have to have a childproofing weekend here soon.

Just wait till she starts school and brings all those snotty germs home. Preschool is the worst, they tend to leak gross stuff from every opening ... come to think of it middle school kids aren't much better ... and they have the added bonus of yuckie "pit" smells.
