On the upside, Avery has started reaching for faces. She looks right in my eyes and reaches out with both hands to touch my face. It melts my heart. So cute the way she seems to be saying "oh there you are, thanks for picking me up!" The downside is she has her first cold. I spent ALL night a few nights ago, holding her while she slept. She woke up every time I put her down. So we (really she slept) and I dozed in the chair in the living room and upstairs on the bed. Her fever reached 100.4 which isn't bad but still made her miserable :( Poor baby. Turns out it was just a cold and the next day she slept alot and was much better the day after that.

Matthew was up at 4am today :-P Ugh! He isn't feeling well either and was going to stay home from school but then we had a snow day anyway. He and Kaylis are ouside playing now, making a snowman and sleigh riding. Kaylis was the only one who slept wonderful last night. She asked to go to bed around 8pm and got up at 8:45am. If only the other two slept like that then I would be a lot more rested today! Oh well there's always tonight.
