oh so very fussy

The family went to Austin for the Saledo Highland games this weekend.  Ken took second place in his division and won weight over bar in his division! Elora spent the day clinging to mommy.

It may be that the trip coincided with her developing another ear infection, or perhaps that she is possibly cutting more teeth, or she was out of her routine and had some anxiety... or some combination of all of the above.

On the road there E cried for 90% of the drive.

She did not want to eat anything, not milk, not food at the restaurant, nothing.

She did not want to sleep, especially because she could see/hear mommy and daddy despite our best effort to hang a blanket to block her view.

The night before the games she got up and at 11, 1, 3, 4,5 (after that mommy took her to the hotel lobby to play so daddy could sleep)

At the games she was good for most of the time, still didn't eat much. Loved playing in the grass, trying to eat it, and watching two Great Danes that were there.

At dinner that night she refused to sit in her high chair. She ate about 1\3 of what she normally eats.

She woke up at 11(diaper) 12:30, 1, 130, 2
Mom and dad took turns holding her and sitting in the arm chair. She wild be dead sleep in your arms and then pop wide awake the moment you set her in her crib.
At 2 holding her I didn't stop the crying, figuring her ear was bothering her mommy took her to the bathroom and lay her on a towel on the floor to give her Tylenol... And she passed out. So mommy ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor with the baby... Who still woke up every hour or so, but would go back to sleep once she had her binky back.

Thankfully she slept the whole way home (do did mommy).

We are back home now and she has still been more fussy than normal, but thankfully she ate well and she has been alseep since 8 with only the occasional cough. I hope this lasts until morning!

But oh did she ever look cute in her
Highland dress!
