Fair play!

I hadnt had a chance to write about this. Arya had been fussy about eating for a few days. Nothing stayed in her mouth - what went in came right back out in the form of spray. Well I was exhausted and a little cranky so her usual attitude towards food was not very well received by me. I was feeding Arya home made ricotta cheese. Well she would take a spoonfull into her mouth and then spit it out. This time she took the spoonfull into her mouth and sprayed it back at me. In order to express my frustration, I took a spoonfull into my mouth and sprayed it back at her face. Needless to say my frustration turned into laughter when I saw her expression - "I cant believe you would do that to me..."She was both amazed and shocked and so were daddy and mommy. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. It turns out making that mess was a lot more fun that I had thought it would be. Ofcourse after that I had to go and clean her up since she was covered with paneer.

Arya's first long sickness

Arya got sick on monday (03/22/10) and we thought it was probably just a light fever caused by her teething. But that wasnt the case. She stayed sick for 6 days with fever up to 104.5 in the middle of the night on tuesday. Scared and worried about her, we put her in the tub filled with warm water and sponged her hoping for the fever to come down a little. That did not help much. So once she was dry and dressed again, I got some cold water and put cold compress on her forehead. After about 2 hours, her fever came down to 101 and she was feeling a tad bit better. Took her to the doctor the next morning and got Arya tested for strep throat and UTI. Needless to say test for UTI was not fun - she had to have a catheter put in and not once but twice. My little baby was hurting and there wasnt anything I could do to take her pain away. All her tests were negative so the doctor thought that it probably is Roseola virus. Well once her fever was gone, she got a pink rash all over her tiny body. She was barely eating anything and had no energy to even crawl. Finally since yesterday she is feeling better and a little like her old shelf again.Today she is sitting on the floor and reading the newspaper with her dad :)

I can do it...

Couple of days back (03/03/2010) Arya started feeding herself her formula :) It is absolutely adorable the way she holds her bottle and feeds herself. Will post a picture later.
