Under the Weather

We are a little under the weather at our house today. Parker and Eden both have croup. I knew it last night when their coughing started sounding like barking seals. (Parker had croup two winters ago and you just never forget that horrible sound.) After a restless night, I was able to get them both in to see our wonderful pediatrician this morning. Parker's cough was much worse than Eden, but after two doses of steroids, I am happy to say that they are both feeling much better.

On a much more exciting note, Eden took her first steps a few nights ago!! She can take one or two steps before falling to the ground. We have been practicing every day, but she can't seem to make it past that second step.

As a result of her new milestone, she has become an accident waiting to happen! Just yesterday, she took two very big tumbles that left two really big goose eggs on her forehead.

The first one happened before we left for church. She was climbing on the step that leads up to our bathtub when she lost her balance and fell head first on the edge of the step. That fall left a knot on her forehead above her right eye.

After church, she was trying to pull up on the TV stand when she again lost her balance and fell head first on the stand. That fall left a knot and bruise on her forehead above her left eye.

I tried to get a picture of her mishaps but the lighting was not that good. Hopefully it will be a few more days before she tumbles again because she is running out of space on her forehead!
