With the weather starting to show trends towards the delightful crispness of autumn, Sequoia has been enjoying the chance to spend more time outside without becoming a sweaty little mess. With the the new season however, comes an onslaught of colds and coughs.
She is almost 6 months old now and has unfortunately discovered what it is like to have a cold and an ear-ache.
Up until the past week she had managed to avoid anything resembling an illness - not even diaper rash. But this past week saw the entire family taken out by a nasty cold and poor little Sequoia also got an ear infection out of the deal.
That has not kept her from being mostly smiles and laughs. She really does not complain at all - and when she does, you can be quite certain there is something that needs fixing. We had seen her holding her ear, but being new at this and since she was not actually complaining, we missed the fairly obvious that she had an ear-ache. It was not until she went in to get checked out because of congestion that the doctor noticed the ear infection.
Well, we are learning as we go. She is getting better and hopefully will soon be over her first bout with our inexperience with baby-ailments.

Just look at our baby girl sitting up all by herself! Hasn't the time flown....a while ago we were thrilled just to see her swing her feet up in the air while lazing around....
Such a pretty thing, too... what a grandkid, huh? We'd love to see her!
