This is her 6 month picture, but it is too adorable not to post! Christy is such an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her!!
I can't believe she is 7 months old already. That means she is closer to 1 year than birth!!! Every stage truly gets better and better. I just love this little girl more than words can describe. Motherhood is the most amazing gift from God.
So when I picked Carlee up from daycare yesterday she had green goop coming out of her eyes! Yes, you heard me right, from her eyes. You could hardly see her eye ball because it was so glazed over with goop and her tears were green. It was so gross and she just looked pitiful. I felt so bad for her. Luckily, her pediatrician also takes her kids to the same daycare and when we were walking out of daycare the doctor was walking in. Talk about perfect timing! I felt bad bothering her off the clock, but I had to ask her to look at Carlee's eyes. She said that she definitely has some sort of infection and needs some prescription drops and that she would call them in for me! What a blessing and awesome service!!! Giving eye drops to a 7 month old is not easy - it definitely takes 2 people - one to hold the eye open and the other to give the drops and not without a good fight from Miss Carlee either. Poor little girl has been sick since Christmas with a nasty cold and I am constantly wiping her nose and now one more thing she can be annoyed with me about - wiping her eyes. This morning her eyes were literally glued shut from all the dried up goop and she had big red bags under her eyes, but the drops seem to be working!!!! I went ahead and took her back to daycare this morning (rule is ~ no fever and she didn't have a fever), so to daycare she went. The ladies asked me if it was contagious and I just shrugged and said I guess we will find out. =) Gotta love the things they pick up from daycare. I just look at it as it is building her immune system!!
Cici's brave project...a Christmas Stocking for Carlee!
Thanks for my adorable outfit Cici!
My mom (aka cici) came to visit this weekend. Craig went duck hunting and I have had a nasty sinus infection and, while you wouldn't know it, Carlee had a double ear infection, so mom came to take care of us. Carlee has become more interative and response and she and Cici had a great time playing together and hanging out. Saturday we went to Fort Worth to a needlepoint store called The French Knot. When I was in the hospital, Mom and I did a lot of needlepointing to help pass the time. Mom is notorious for never finishing a needlepoint project, but she has been inspired. She started a beautiful mini stocking for Carlee's 1st Christmas and drum roll please...finished it!...even before Christmas...and is about to finish 2 easter eggs and now she has gotten brave enough to do a big Christmas stocking for Carlee. We picked out the most beautiful and elegant stocking (pictured above). When I saw the picture I knew that was the perfect stocking. It will be absolutely gorgeous. Mom definitely has a big project on her hands, but I know she can do it and Carlee will treasure it forever, just like I treasure the stocking my grandmother made for me. Thanks Cici!!!!
