A little movie of our little girl.

Not feelin' so good... times three

Mommy thought it would be cute to see if she could get my hair out of my eyes.  Not a single curl to be had.  Just need a bone and I'd look like Pebbles Flintstone.  (oh, wait, I'm not supposed to know who Pebbles is yet... thanks for the reference, mom!)  This is the day before my problems began.  

The next morning, I woke up in a great mood.  Happy, laughing, feeling like I could conquer the world, well at least feeling like I could conquer the task of carrying mommy's shoes from her bedroom into the bathroom.  Then, BAM!  Somehow my face hit the stone threshold and my good mood was all over from there.  I bruised my forehead and scraped my nose and upper lip.  My nose even bled a little.  This picture is mild compared to what it ended up looking like a few days later.  It looked like I had boxed in a baby-weight fight and lost.  (but you should have seen the other baby...)

A few days earlier, red spots began appearing on my legs, arms and torso.  Mommy decided to take me to the doctor to see what was going on.  He diagnosed two different types of eczema.  One was rough and patchy and happens all over the place and the other is red and moist and occurs where my skin folds at my joints.  He said I should outgrow the rough and patchy type, but the one at my joints might follow me to adult-hood.  Oh, Great!   He prescribed some ointment that should help clear it up.  

Well, while at the doctor's office, he noticed my scraped up face and wanted to make sure there wasn't any blood pooling around the cartilage.  He said it could cause problems down the road.  Luckily there wasn't any, but I was not thrilled with him poking that thing up my nose so I got upset and started crying.   He asked if I had been having cold symptoms lately because my nose had started to run.  Mommy told him I seemed okay, but he wanted to look in my ears just to make sure they were clear.  To our surprise, he said that both of my ears were infected.  Great!  another double ear infection.  I just had one in May!  He started me on another round of antibiotics...  Oh well, at least I like taking medicine.  Maybe that explains why I was off balance and smashed my face on the floor...  Bruised face, eczema and double ear infection.  Boy, what a state I am in...

More trail pictures

This is a mini-trail near a park we like to go to sometimes.  There's no elevation change or drop offs any where so I get to walk this one safely on my own.  The worse thing I might run into here is a blackberry bramble or a banana slug.  

Pushing the stroller like I enjoy doing so often.  

Holding the stick I found.

Getting a little adventuresome and pulling on ahead.  

Tasty stick.
