I lied.

When I posted on Thursday I promised I would pick up the Nikon the next day for some pictures. Yeah. That so did not happen. Audrey's fever hung around the entire day on Friday and that basically meant that she was stuck like glue to me & my parents. I honestly don't think her feet touched the ground the entire day. And it's kind of hard to take pictures with a small child hanging around your neck. Especially when you prefer to take pictures of said child. So, I resorted to the good ol' classic "self portrait" mode on my phone.

Sorry for the ridiculously craptastic picture, but it was dark and (if you can't tell through the dark hazy blur) Audrey had finally fallen asleep for a nap so I wasn't about to move. It was literally the only picture I snapped the entire day.

Fortunately, by Saturday her fever had gotten under control and was much less worrysome. She was still pretty clingy & fussy most of the day but she did manage to detach herself from us long enough to look ridiculously tired play in the bed for a little while. (And I apologize for the horrible lighting/white balance/color casts/general suckyness of this picture. I'm too lazy to edit.)

Yesterday (Sunday) things finally started to level out a bit. The fever was officially gone, but we woke up to a bit of a full-body rash. Which has now led me to believe that S.B.G. came down with a case of roseola. Pretty much the same routine of staying at home, clinging, fussing & bad napping commences. But Project365 continues on and I snapped a quick shot before her bath. (And you can see a little bit of the rash popping up on her face around the right side of her mouth.)

This morning we all pretty much had enough and decided to get out of the house. We made a trek to the mall (we had stuff to return anyways) and made a quick lap before Audrey started to melt down for lunch. Headed out for a bite to eat and by the time we got back to the house she was d.o.n.e. We put her down for a nap and she slept almost FOUR HOURS (!!!) before the dog woke her up. The rash is still hanging around today but it really doesn't seem to bother her much so hopefully it will run its course and be gone by the end of the week (if not sooner). I did manage to get some really cute pictures of Audrey making silly faces through the glass of the back door, but I really want to story board them (and I need to learn how) so hopefully I can get that done in the next day or so. Instead, today's picture is of my other "child". Eating leftovers from Friday night's steak dinner. Yum.

Audrey is 1 year, 6 months, 4 weeks & 1 day old
