So this is a first! A small clip of Toni and I mean small. Blogger won't let me load clips very big. Anyway, I forget my laptop has a built in camera and she was having so much fun on my latptop (well really just banging on it) that I thought, OH! Why don't I record this? duh... so here's a small clip of her. Nice change from just still photos huh?
So what's new? Sheesh. I haven't been able to update this thing it's been so busy for me. Well most recently, Toni got sick last Friday. I picked her up from the school and she was fine, but i noticed that all these kids were coughing. Not a good side. Well as the night progressed, she started to cough. great. And then a little more into the night she was crying... and not just a cry of I'm tired or I'm hungry but a cry that was more like I'm in pain and I hurt. My poor baby. That kind of cry just makes you feel so bad. At around 4am, she had a fever so we gave her some Tylenol but she kept waking up through out the night because her cough was so bad and she had the fever.
Saturday we were supposed to go to a wedding. Well actually, Junior was a groomsmen in the wedding. So early in the morning, we call her doctor to see if he had any suggestions or if he could see her. Well he wants to see her ASAP b/c apparently Respiratory Syncical Virus (RSV) is going around and he wanted to test her for it to be on the safe side since it can become really serious and even fatal. His urgency worried us even more. He opens at 8am and he wanted us there by 8:15-8:30a. We got there by 8:30a (since we only called him by 7:45a and hurried to get dressed and out the door). Mind you, once Toni has waken up and is all dressed, she is still in high spirits just with a cough... a nasty cough. So her being in high spirits comforted me some in that I always feel that being the happy baby she is, if she's not happy then I should really worry that something is seriously wrong. Anyway, we get there and long story short she tests negative for RSV. WHEW! However, her cough was so bad (she's never sounded like this before) that the doctor wanted to treat it as a pneumonia JUST to be on the safe side so that should it get worse, treatment will be on it's way. But in the meantime, he just prescribed her Amoxcillian and said to keep a close eye on her b/c he didn't want it to still become RSV. Basically as he described it, RSV is where the respiratory system is lined with slough that it becomes so difficult for babies to breath and they begin to use their whole body just to take a breath. Well she definitely wasn't doing that, Thank God! Oh and the way they test is they take this quetip like thing and get some of the mucous from their nose and after five minutes it tells you whether they are positive or negative for RSV. Pretty neat. Anyway, so she was ordered to stay home.
So her and I stayed home and had to miss the wedding. :( Junior, of course, had togo to the wedding since he was a groomsmen. Saturday she had a fever off and on and still felt a little bad but for the most part she was in high spirits. So I'm thankful for that.
Now that it's Monday (well technicaltl Tuesday as it's 1:21am), she's doing even better. Still coughing a lot but at least she's not having fevers and her cough sounds more productive than it was. But still she stayed home today. I really don't want to take her back to school until she's really well. Thankfully I'm off Thursday and Friday and my job is allowing me to work from home Tues and Wed. So Toni should be able to recover quite well before having to go back Monday... I hope! I really hope she's ok by Thanksgiving! We'll see. Poor thing. But as you can see in the video, she's in high spirits! Banging away at my laptop.
So last Sunday (not this past but the one before that, Nov. 16) Toni was baptised! I have to say, I'm so proud and happy for her. I mean, I know it's a big thing she get baptised. But once it was all happening I wanted to shed some tears. hahaha... I didn't though. I held my own! haha... but as always she was in high spirits. In fact, when the priest poured the holy water over her head she was chill. The other babies cried and I actually expected her to cry too. But she was more like-whatever. And when the priest would come to put the oil on her she was all smiles. All in all in was a success and we had plenty of family and family friends there to celebrate. :) Once I get those pictures I can post. Can't believe I remembered to charge the camera battery but leave the camer home. DUH. Part of me losing my mind since pregnancy. hahaha... it never came back.
Development. She's come so far it's amazing! She can sit on 
her own for a few second before she falls over. When we first started practicing her, she would sit for two-three second before she'd fall over and we'd have to position in her in a way so that balancing was easier. This picture is actually when we started practicing her. So she was strategically placed to last a few seconds before she fell. Plus the toy helped out. This pic was only taken two weeks ago, not even. Now we can sit her down without much "molding" and she's sit for a longer period of time before she falls over. She's much more talkative and continues with the BA! I'm still trying to get her to say MA. But everytime I do that she laughs at me. hahaha... oh well. At least there's that.
She's also started to lift her butt up while on her tummy more often and with a little support under her belly she'll get onto her knees. woo hoo! Soon she may be mobile, more so that just rolling toi get around!
