Our sweet baby girl has pink eye. Ugh. She's never so much as had a cold. A stuffy nose for a few days that never amounted to anything is the closest she's come to being sick, and now she has pink eye.
I had my suspicions...yesterday when she woke up she had green gunk in her eye, but after I cleaned it up it was fine for the rest of the day. Today, same thing when she woke up, only after I cleaned it up, a few hours later the gunk was back. She kept rubbing her eye today like it was bothering her, and then tonight it started watering. We had actually met Kory, Tiffany and Avery for pizza and a beer and she did really well during dinner, but as the night went on her eye starting looking kinda funny. By the time we headed home I thought we should swing by Dr. Dorhauer's house (my sister is Taylor's doctor Ü) and see what she thought. She took one look at her and said "I think she's got pink eye." Dang. I knew she was gonna say that. So, she called in a prescription to Safeway and Matt went and picked it up. Then it was show and tell time in front of the good doctor as Matt and I held Taylor down and tried to put the cream in her eye. That went over real well! It's amazing how strong those little boogers are! She cried and screamed and squirmed and stiffened and thrashed and smacked and clawed. But we won! I gave her some Tylenol before she went to bed (since she's also teething...great timing) and she was out like a light. Poor baby. Hopefully the green gunk has subsided by morning. Either that or I'm gonna need a chisel to see those beautiful baby blues of hers... *SIGH* Sick babies break my heart. Tiffany, how on earth do you do it?? You deserve a medal Ü

Wow, you have been so good about blogging lately! I need to do some serious catching up!!!! Hope Taylor's eye is doing better already...poor thing! We had fun at dinner with you three. Maybe next week we can hangout longer than an hour! :)
dang... I left town for two days and it seems like I missed a lot with little Taylor. I hope that her eye ball is doing better and I can't believe she has a tooth already. Caitlyn is still all gums. My girlfriend's baby got teeth at two months... if you can believe that?!?!
Tiffany -
I felt like I was slacking the last couple weeks, so I've been making up for it these last couple days! I guess I've just had more to blog about too. It was great to see you guys the other night...we really missed you! We have to do it again real soon, and get an earlier start so the girls aren't ready to go home so soon Ü

She just got her second tooth yesterday too! I guess my brother had 4 teeth by 5 months...crazy!
She is doing much better...she's been super tired and sleeping a lot during the day, which is a nice change for her. Hopefully she'll be all back to normal in a day or two!
Actually I've been the major blogging slacker, y'all! I finally just read this post too! Grayson had pink eye when he was under 1yr and it was lovely! You pretty much do need a chisel to get the gunk out!
Fun times!
