Mombompop

As I am driving back, forth and all around our beautiful little town I am happy to see the trees full of bright green leaves, white blossoms and life. The sky was the most amazing clear blue today. I had my sunglasses on my face and Edee's white summer hat on her head before we even stepped foot out the door. Welcome back beautiful weather! We've missed you....almost.

Not only are the trees blooming but so are our allergies. I'm so sensitive when it comes to allergies, head colds or the like. And I am even more sensitive when these things affect my daughter. It might almost be worse seeing her eyes fill with tears and then drain down the sides of her puffy little cheeks, then having the symptoms myself (which I do).

Today the sneezing has stopped. I am thankful for this. Yesterday I was wiping her little nose like it was my full time job. Okay, being a Mom is my full time job so I suppose this is one of the job duties. I just couldn't let any of that icky stuff get in her mouth or up into her eyes. Because of the itchy feeling Edee sneezes and then rubs her nose and eyes, taking all that icky slimy stuff and smearing it all over her face. Oh yes, she was a prime example of a "hot mess." (Considering she was slightly feverish as well that term works pretty well here.)

Luckily the doc was able to see her today and confirmed that what she is experiencing is, in fact, allergies. I suppose I can, once again, be thankful that it's not a cold, or worse. So, I will play Mommy and Nurse 'til the pollen in the air settles.

In the mean time, Edee is being such a cuddle bug. She hasn't been sleeping well so her little swing from Grandma Diane has come in handy yet again. I'm glad she still fits in it.

Speaking of which, she is up on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth now. She has made one attempt to lift a hand and reach forward. Other than that she seems rather content with the rocking.

And she says mama, baba and dada. Some times all mixed together and it comes out mombompop. :) I could just squeeze her. I honestly can't get enough of these baby days. They are disappearing so quickly.

Keep Loving.
