What do you do when they won't let you put them down all day?...

You pull out the baby swing that they are way too big for:) My independent, busy 10 month old is not herself. Notice the swollen eyes. That's because Lila has croup?! Who gets croup? We went into the urgent care clinic on Sunday because she had a fever of 101 and this crazy deep cough. Luckily it wasn't the flu. They gave her a steroid shot and said she will get better in 3-4 days. We are on day 2 and while she doesn't have as high a fever, she is SO fussy. She doesn't want me to hold her but, she doesn't want to be put down either. I put her in the swing and she seemed to like that. It is so funny to see her feet sticking way off the end and watch her hit the mirror that she couldn't even reach as a babe. We are taking steam showers and working on getting better. Here's hoping she is well by this weekend!

Bless that sweet thing. Hope she's better soon for your sake too :) We still make fun of my sister b/c she would say "hold me but don't touch me". Poor Lila Lou!

Aw! Poor little Lila baby! I know that cough is terrible! It would kill me---AM had it at about 10 months too. :( We're saying a prayer for you, Lila!

I hope she gets better soon. I have a 7 week old who won't let me leave her line of sight or she screams! I feel for you and Lila!! The swing pic is too cute :)
