New "Firsts"

Well Melanie had her first bad cold. It was pretty pitiful. My dad had the same thing she did and now I have it...what fun! She had a VERY runny nose with congestion when she was flat and would have a little cough. The first day I noticed the cold she was also extra sleepy. Her eating habits never changed, she never ran a temperature and when she was awake she acted like herself so I didn't take her to the doctor. It seems as if the worst is over and she is getting better.
I also think Melanie is in the midst of a growth spurt. She is eating constantly all of a sudden. She went from sleeping through the night to waking up every two hours to eat again. When she cries I'm going in her room to feed her and then she immediately goes back to sleep. She doesn't want attention or anything she just seems legitimately hungry. She is on day 3 of this glorious eating pattern- maybe it will be over soon!
She also went to her first "day care" yesterday. Clint's car was in the shop so we went up to the gym together to work out and left her in the gym's day care for about 45 minutes. She was asleep in her car seat when we left her and when we picked her up she was awake in one of their bouncy seats. She was happy so I guess everything went all right. The daycare has a little nook for the infants and the rest of the children have to play in the other part of the room.
