I got an ear infection - My first illness!
I’ve now officially had my first baby sickness (all that throwing up on daddy’s clean shirts didn’t count).
I was awake all night the other day crying, and generally feeling miserable (and making mum and dad feel pretty miserable too). At one point, my temperature was over 104. My head felt like it was on fire.

What an exciting day! We arrived at Nanna’s, and after a having my photo

Nanna & Pappa had just come back from their Christmas party/Golf trip in Orlando and we were visiting. I took hold of the stacked plastic kid’s chairs and they started moving accross the floor boards. Wahoo! I was moving… my feet just followed. I found I could do the same thing with this thing at home.
My second tooth! - My next one has come through,...
