13 Months

13 months

Where has the last month gone! She woke full of smiles this morning, which I thought was a great sign. Sadly, it didn't mean she was better, just that she's a very strong spirited little lady.

We went to Church this morning, and she fell asleep in the car going there, which she rarely does. When I went to get her from creche, she was laid beside her bag, looking really rather tired and less-than-her-best.

This afternoon she had a coughing fit and threw up all over Monkey, and cried at the sight. Thankfully, she had spare Monkey,although she missed him by millimetres too, as she had been cuddling them both.

We've had some lovely play time and big smiles, in between the poorliness. She ate a bit of tea, which is progress.
