 Tonight I was updating my blogroll/links sections and I noticed that quite a few of my friends haven’t updated their blogs in six months or more. You know who you are! What’s the deal? Get busy! I’m so in love with my new WordPress, I’m sure I’ll blog relentlessly (at least for a few more weeks). So watch out!

 Here’s a picture of The Bean, who really enjoys spending time in her activity saucer now. It’s very rewarding to see her obviously enjoying something that we bought for her so much. It’s also great that she entertains herself in it for so long! Great for when Mom & Dad need a break, to eat or go to the bathroom or take care of other basic human needs. She sits in this thing and pushes with her feet, turns around, moves the toys around, makes the bells ring and the rattle-type things rattle, spins the little globe, and pushes on the buttons that make various animal noises and play snippets of music. Honestly, if I had one it would probably entertain me for 30 minutes or so too.

Unfortunately Bean has had a rough week. She’s teething and has been spiking a fever off and on all week, as well as having a bad cough last Sunday through Thursday. She’s obviously in pain from that, and now she has an ear infection (in her right ear) too. Today the doctor gave us antibiotics for her, and advised us to try baby Motrin instead of baby Tylenol for the pain. I hope it helps – she’s been so miserable all weekend, and very unlike herself.
