Abigail's New Ability & Her First Illness


Abigail started trying to sit up about two weeks ago. On September 21, she sat up in the tripod position (with her hands on the floor between her legs). Jeremy said that she took her hands off the floor and sat for a few seconds without support, but I didn't see it and I figured that "a few seconds" really didn't count as sitting up. She practiced all week and she finally mastered her new ability. Saturday, she sat up for the first time without any support. And now she does it with ease.

She also has her first "cold". On Thursday, she began sneezing. That was followed with a very runny nose. It didn't seem to slow her down much then. By Friday afternoon, she was getting lethargic and cranky. Saturday morning she had developed a cough and a fever. She stayed home with her Daddy on Saturday morning while Rachel and I went to her soccer pictures and soccer game. She kept a fever until bedtime. Yesterday, Abigail and I stayed home while Jeremy and Rachel went to church. She didn't have fever yesterday, but was still feeling pretty lousy. Last night, she and Jeremy stayed home while Rachel went to church and I went to care group. I can't really tell if she is feeling any better yet. She is sleeping a lot today. She slept from 10pm to 8am. I fed her and she went back to sleep and has been resting now for two hours. Her nose is still very stopped up and she still has a cough today. I sure hope that she gets over this illness quickly.
