2 Tough Days and 4 Molars later

Izzy's just not feeling good this week...
Getting big is hard to do! This week was rough because Izzy's TEETHING again! Which means she is running at a slower pace and overall not feeling great. She has been clingy and fussy and miserable. (she did not have any problems with her 1st 8, but we have learned molars are different)
We noticed that she was gradually eating less and less food this week, but also that she had been going nuts over cold carrot sticks and apples. Then, the past 2 days have were got worse for her though - she has not slept well or eaten much and was running 100-101 temps.

It's sooo very hard to see your sweet baby feel so miserable. We figured teething was the culprit, but it took us getting our fingers bitten, to know for sure she was getting in her molars all at once, ALL 4 back molars at once!! Poor thang. She has handled it way better than I expected her to, and still manages to smile, play and charm everyone even though she seems so pitiful. This has also meant plenty of time holding her -which is just weird for her. She NEVER sits still, so we are loving on her lots and it seems to be helping some.

Sadly, I had to work during her two toughest days, but Robert was home and took great care of her (as he always does). That helps me so much when I'm gone at work for 12+ hour days. I love having a spouse who takes just as good of care of our kids as I do, so I don't have to worry about them at all.

She is already eating better and drinking more. And now she gets to eat even more types of food- a big bonus for such a good eater!
For instance - the apple is a new favorite snack that she'll carry around and chomp away at for about an hour! (I realize it's kinda gross, but she REALLY likes it!)
13 months old and 12 teeth! Wow!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
