the littlest one is sick.

there's nothing worse than having a sick baby. olivia has now caught the dreaded cold bug that has plagued our family for the last month and a half. also to add to the mix is teething, not sleeping in her crib and detesting the high chair. so basically she's glued to my hip which makes the day to day slightly difficult.

two things that have helped me a lot through this has been coryzalia and camilia, both naturopathic products that help alleviate symptoms of a cold and of teething. i highly recommend it and it is available for purchase shopper's drug mart and save on foods and its affiliates.

i have resorted to bribing her with little treats like baby mum mums and those flavored puffs which for the time being works. how quickly i've forgotten how difficult things become when your little one hits the 8-12 month stage! the only thing that's keeping me going is the fact that although she's basically miserable, she still manages to put a smile on her face. her latest feat is crawling and she's getting pretty good at it. and when i say crawl, i mean olivia-style crawling which is her on her hands and knees, pulling her legs around with her arms. we have laminate flooring so the slipperyness of it makes it a lot easier for her to get around. today she managed to get from the living room to the main bathroom and even into emma's room. time to start baby proofing!
