Last week Frances came down with a wee cold. The full effects only lasted two days and it was mild as far as baby colds go but bits of it seem to be lingering. We're now on a strict regime of vitamin-c packed afternoon smoothies and warm baths before bed. A pretty rad regime and one that seems to be doing the trick.
These baths have been her first with bubbles and the empty bathtub has been added to the long list of things (like dish soap and teeth brushing) that make her ask so sweetly buboes? buboes?
Here's looking at you.
Water?
Fall!
In non-germ developments, Frances is really quite taken with her bicycle helmet. We pulled it out a few days ago and tried out the baby bike seat on the back of my bike (both awesome and nerve-racking) and now it is worn at least once a day just for fun.
It seems as though all of her favourite things lately are those that she can name. Elmo still reigns supreme of course, but she's become pretty taken lately with ducks (gucks) and hats (ats aka her bicycle helmet). She finds so much joy in pointing to ducks (anything with a beak really) and having us understand what she means when she declares guck! Or in pointing to her helmet, saying at? and having us hand her exactly what she wants. Watching her learn how to communicate her thoughts with the world and watching her beam at her communication feats is surely one of the best mamma-perks yet.
