This is a picture from the day that Nina was sick with a fever. She woke up the night before screaming and inconsolable, and very hot. The fever came down somewhat in the AM, and I took her to the doctor. She seemed alert, so he said to just watch her. I gave her some baby Tylenol (her first experience ingesting non-breastmilk!), and that seemed to help. She took a long nap and woke up like this. Since then, she’s been just fine. I’m not sure what caused the fever.

Nina’s sitting up on her own now, at 5 and a half months. She also got to weigh in at the doctor’s office, tipping the scales at 18 pounds, 5 ounces.

She loves to watch Dad and me engage in various domestic activities. But there’s one that particularly fascinates her: teeth brushing. When I’m by myself, I bring her into the bathroom while I shower, brush teeth, etc. While I brush my teeth, she is absolutely transfixed. Maybe not having teeth herself, she is envious. Funny little girl!
