So sorry for the space in posting. We've been busy trying to get Addie-bug well! For the past month, she has been on 3 different antibiotics (as of today, 4, but we'll get to that later) all for an ear infection we can't seem to shake. It started out in her right ear and eventually wound up in both for a great double ear infection. I officially hate all antibiotics for what they do to her bottom!!! If they get the ear cleared up somewhat, we have to deal with nasty diaper rashes that come along with the meds. It is the most frustrating thing and she's only 6 months old!
But, ear infections aren't all we're dealing with these days. Miss Bug is crawling!!! :) She's been doing it for a little over a week now and each day she gets stronger and stronger. I caught her the other day going full steam toward the fireplace! Needless to say, Brian and I are WAY behind on baby-proofing our house. Oops!
She's also got a new trick...she makes a fishy face and it's her favorite thing to do!
So, yesterday, I noticed Addison was breaking out in hives around her wrists and elbows. By evening, she had them on her thighs and belly, too. This morning, when we woke up, she was covered. Time to call the doc! We went in and discovered she was having a reaction to a drug. Low and behold, she is allergic to penicillin! Poor thing has angry, red splotches all over her. She is taking benadryl to get rid of those and we had to get our 4th antibiotic that isn't penicillin based to deal with the still there ear infection. It's tough being a six month old!

I couldn't help but smile when I saw the fishy face pictures. (of course I'm sitting in an airport and people started looking at me for smiling so big).
Then I got to the rash pictures and my expression changed. Hope Li'l Buttercup gets feeling better soon!
How stinkin cute is that face?!? I could just eat her!! I hope she gets better fast. Cole told me today that he wants Addison to be his girlfriend she's so cute. Heehee. Enjoy the rest of your spring break!
