Daycare & First Sniffles

Tomorrow Aurora will be 4 months old. She's come a long way, even sleeping 12 hours at a time some nights. (These are very good days, indeed). Last week she started at daycare in the mornings, so that *I* could adapt to our being apart -- I began work again yesterday!

Last week I took her a couple of hours a day, Monday through Thursday...and Thursday afternoon she showed some clear signs of a cold. Her usual sound effects were snuffled by congestion.

She still has the cold, it's gotten worse although there's no fever. Last night our little sleep machine woke up 5 times -- a true sign that she's uncomfortable. For the past month or so she's been showing her López-Olivier colors and sleeping all night. She's smiley when we go to get her in her crib in the morning.

More on her day-to-day: Aurora drinks baby herbal tea! It seems to settle her stomach and has some sugar in it, so she drinks it happily.

And here's one last photo, a classic Aurora sleep pose:

Hopefully we'll all get some sleep tonight.
