What a past couple of weeks we've had. The sick bug came and visited Mady a couple of weeks ago starting with an ear infection. When that cleared up, she got sick again with a fever due to a viral infection. The fever left and while we thought we were getting rid of the runny nose and coughing, the fever came back this last weekend. We always get extra cautious now when she gets a fever, so when it rose to 104 last night, we took her to urgent care this morning. Poor thing has a double ear infection. We have some antibiotics now and saw a huge improvement in her this evening, just in time for some superbowl and pizza time!

| Our sick girls |
She's not the only sick girl around here. Lucy somehow messed up her back and a few days ago could not even walk up or down our stairs. We took her to the vet and after an x-ray and hefty vet bill, found she has a bulging disc in her back. She can't go upstairs, downstairs, or run for 4 weeks! If you know Lucy, not being able to run after her ball for four weeks is like torture. She probably thinks we don't love her anymore since we don't throw her ball, or let her upstairs with us anymore. She's been getting extra loving from us though, especially from Mady :)
Besides this, we have been doing great this past month. Mady is 20 months, going on 21 months in nine days. Her vocabulary continues to grow and she is stringing more words together everyday. Now that she has her letters down (at least capital letters), we've moved on to numbers. She knows her numbers from 1-10 and while she can count to seven, she won't always do it. For some reason she gets mad when you ask her to do it.
She's so sweet and I love the random hugs and "I lu you's" throughout the day. It's the cutest thing watching her play with her babies and seeing how sweet she is with them. She kisses them and tells them she loves them. She pats them, feeds them, and puts them to bed with their paci.
Her love of dancing continues. Anytime we put music on or she hears it on a tv show, she will just start moving and shaking. She has loved watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for a while, but now Doc McStuffins is turning into her favorite. She will ask to watch "Stuffins". I welcome the change :)

| She still loves these guys though |
Mady is still a good sleeper, and is loving her crib right now. It might be because it's the only time she gets her paci, but she is always happy to go to bed. Her love for Lucy also continues and only grows. If we're out she will say "Home, Lucy". She wants to go see her puppy dog. We usually can't leave the house without her going to hug Lucy and tell her bye bye.
We have so much fun watching her grow. A few more months and we'll be turning 2. Eeek!
