I have a 2 things to report.
Let's start with the bad:
Aaliyah has an ear infection, strep throat and tonsillitis. (AGAIN) They aren't sure if they even treated it last time.... which means she has been dealing with this since we left for Vegas in February. Her throat was almost entirely swollen shut... (One of the pictures below shows what I am talking about.)

Good:
Last night Aaliyah was trying to convince me she couldn't go to sleep with every excuse in the book. It was a pretty funny range between "the door is open" or "I am thirsty/hungry" to "the door is shut" or "I need to go to the bathroom" but, my all time favorite would have to be "I need to go play with the bear ball outside *lifts the blinds* OH NO! It is dark... NOT AGAIN!" The 'not again' sounded as if she was shocked it becomes dark more than one night out of the year. It was one of the cutest thing she said. Her "oueew" when she was 2 months old still tops it.

Aaliyah being silly... and some shiny long thing. :)

Saving Pictures

These pictures are in no particular order. The computer that they were located on might crash soon so I wanted to at least save them while I could. :)



Aaliyah's first birthday

Got to love the zit.

Aaliyah's mugshot. She was SO sick.

She could still smile...

Still really sick.

First snow.

She was so chubby!

First squash.

Notice the white bear behind them??? That was what Happy Bear looked like before she really got into him...
