Perking up!

So I guess Haley's perking up little by little, very slowly. Over the weekend she stopped being so lethargic and resorted to fussing and crying all weekend. She and Daddy bonded (even more) while I was out of town working on her baby book (which I finished). She wants to be held all the time still but gets frustrated because she wants to play but can't bring herself to part from me. So there is a lot of crying going on at our house. She was still not eating much at all and only sipping a drink here and there. Today she didn't pee at all from wake up time (8am) until around 5:30 or so. We went to the doctor for her regular well baby 15 month visit. Dr. Pielop said her lack of pee was ok because she had plenty of tears as she cried which indicates she's hydrated enough. However the drinking and appetite should improve in the next 48 hours. Sure enough tonight she ate her spaghetti and apple dinner pretty well. She shoveled it in and actually wanted more. She was still only sipping her milk. Anyways, I think she is turning the corner and on the road to being silly Haley again soon. Her measurements from the well baby exam indicated like Daddy says, she's what every girl wants to be. Tall and skinny. She was 31 1/2in tall (80%) and 21 pounds 3ounces (25%). We decided to hold off on her immunizations for this appointment since she's still so irratible and not eating well. The shots will usually make them more irritable and sluggish for a day or two and we don't need any more of that then what we're already experiencing! So in a few weeks we'll go back just for the owwys :-( So way too long post, probably boring everyone. I'll stop soon. Hunter is fine...no sicky sickys. He's been sweet to Haley and singing to her a lot. He's been singing this "I love you in the morning and in the afternoon" song to her latey and it just brings tears to my eyes with a smile of course. Thomas had been fighting a cold last week and is much better now. Hopefully it is all passing. Have a wonderful week and stay healthy!
