Scott had Monday and Tuesday off so Adia enjoyed having him around. She started to feel a little warm on Tuesday though. She also didn't sleep well at all and was cutting her naps short. I took her temperature and it said 101.4! It's been a while since she's had a fever. I gave her Tylenol and she took a nap on me. She was feeling better at dinner, even though she didn't eat much. Last night was horrible though. She wouldn't stay asleep and was burning up, despite Tylenol. I felt so bad for her, but neither of us got any sleep.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

She didn't nap well today either and was really clingy. She's been on Tylenol most of the day too. We went to the store and I carried her in the Kozy. She seemed so cuddly and I didn't want to chase her since she won't stay in the cart anymore. She was happy most of the time in the Kozy, only getting mad when she wanted down and I wouldn't let her, of course.
I'm hoping for a good night tonight. I really need some sleep. She wanted me to hold her the whole time I made dinner. She would cry if Scott tried to hold her. She brought her baby doll into the kitchen at one point. She was hugging her and giving her kisses. It was the sweetest thing ever. Much better than when she walks around, holding it by an arm or leg. She didn't eat much for dinner, but did devour a whole piece of her buttered rice toast. She was interested in the beans too, but wanted to squish them rather than eat them.
Adia certainly loves to play peek-a-boo now. She says her version of "boo" and attempts to play it any way she can. She'll hide behind the couch, my laptop, even a cardboard box, just to jump out and say "boo!" Other times she uses a blanket, stuffed animal or her sweatshirt. It's particularly funny during diaper changes if she's wearing a long shirt or dress.
She also likes her "chair." It used to be the rocking chair when she was little, but she's taken it over as her TV chair. She climbs in and out of it all day long, but in the evenings she'll sit in it and watch TV or Scott play video games. She loves it. Occasionally she fall out though and then she's not a happy camper, but the crying never lasts long. She's normally back in it within minutes.
Her tushy's almost healed and we've been having normal poops again. To my relief. That brings me to another exciting thing that happened today. We bought Adia a potty chair on Monday. I thought we might be jumping the gun, but Adia ALWAYS pees after our shower together. Normally she goes to the corner in the bathroom and pees a lake and then will go to the baby gate and strain and grunt until she pees a little puddle. On Tuesday we set her on the potty chair after the shower, but all she did was cry. She was already not feeling well and wanted her nap. It was funny though because she pointed at the chair and asked, "What's that?" I told her it was a potty chair and sit on it and pee. She gave me the funniest look and said, "WHAT?!" It was perfect timing and intonation. Scott and I cracked up over it.
I attempted the potty chair again today and she complained at first. I finished getting dressed, talking to her the entire time. Eventually she started bouncing and seemed perfectly happy. Then she peed! Adia peed on the potty and she's only 12 1/2 months old! I don't know if she'll do it again tomorrow, but I know she can control her bladder. If she sleeps straight through the night, she's usually dry in the morning. She'll pee immediately following her first diaper change. Maybe she'll enjoy the praise and non-wet diapers so much that it will stick.
