FINALLY, I'm back after almost a month. About time, I know!
So much has happened in the past month. I'll dwell on the positive - Coby's wedding weekend, which was so much fun and went off without a hitch. A wonderful time, overall, and I couldn't be happier for her. Veronica rolling over frequently now, and now lifting up her head and going up on her elbows when laying on her belly. We don't know how she developed this; she just started doing it one day and hasn't stopped since. Veronica eating solids now; she loves eating rice cereal, and apparently likes to share, as said cereal usually also ends up all over her face, up her nose, in her hair, in my hair, on her knees, elbows, every stitch of clothing on her, etc. And even after all that, I can honestly say that she's getting the hang of it.
The big negative we're dealing with at this very moment is Veronica's first real cold. Yeah, she's been a bit under the weather a few times here n' there over the past few months, but now the poor little thing has an upper respiratory infection and pinkeye. Amazingly, she's still in fairly good spirits; Jason ran her eyedrops to the babysitter's today, and when he got there she was smiling and giggling, at what he couldn't tell.
Jason and I are also making tentative anniversary plans. We desperately need some time to ourselves, and having Darren's girlfriend Liesel babysit for an evening every now and again just isn't cutting it. We had a great time when my folks watched her during Coby's wedding weekend, running around with people without her, and we'd like to do something similar for our anniversary coming up next month. We're thinking of having Aunt Emily come watch Veronica at the house for the weekend while we get a room in Toledo, taking all day Saturday to check out their amazing art museum and just basically spend some time together. I'm hoping it will do us both some good. I just don't know if we'll be able to go that far without her and not worry constantly about her, and I know personally that I'll miss her something fierce the entire time. So we'll cross that bridge later, with a healthy baby and hopefully a little more rest.
