Here's my brand new One Year Old!

Yesterday was baby E's first birthday! I don't know how that happened. How did she go from being that adorable tiny little black haired infant to this walking, babbling chubby little brunette. Unfortunately for Miss E she is sick as a dog. She has a double ear infection and some other strange virus that is causing a rash on her bottom and cold sores in her mouth. She has been miserable and not able to sleep for several days now. Poor baby.
I think maybe last night she was trying to recreate what it would be like to have a newborn. She went to bed at 8 and woke up at 11, again at 12 and then fell back asleep at 2 am. She then woke up at 4:30am and then again at 6 am and then finally for the last time she got up at 7am. Did I mention she was screaming bloody murder for the two hours between midnight and 2 am? Clearly she's having a lot of ear pain. And clearly Mommy needs to drink 24 ounces of coffee today.
