Happy Girl

I hate to look at all the pictues of Ella and see that she's not smiling in many of them... I swear she is the happiest baby alive, she's also the most inquisitive baby alive. She can be smiling and laughing like crazy but as soon as she sees the red light on the camera, indicating that flash is about to go off, her smile disappears as she studies it, trying to figure out what's going on. It's great that she's so curious, but frustrating as all get out that it's next to impossible to get a picture of her smiling face with the camer we have. Alas, last night I was sucessful!! She has been so congested the last day or 2, in her head and her chest that I put her in a Vick's Vapor bath to try to loosen some of the crud up. I can't tell if she was just excited about the warm water or excited because her daddy was there to help bathe her for the first time since she was about 3 weeks old. Whatever it was, she was loving it, splashing around and kicking up a storm.
As for the congestion, we went to the pediatrician today. Even though she hasn't had a fever or anything I wanted to make sure all was well before we head to Miami on Thursday. Sure enough, she's got an ear infection. Nothing major, but she's started taking an antibiotic today so hopefully it will clear up quickly.

Ella and Ellison must be same-souls - we have so many videos of Ellison doing nothing, because the second she sees the camera, she stops whatever she's doing out of curiosity! Glad Ella's getting treated for the infection - now you can travel without worrying about if it's going to turn into anything. Hope you guys have a great time and a safe trip!
