Playing in Devine

In town for Cousin Bailey's 2nd birthday party and Aunt Erin's baby shower. Larkin and Snoball both enjoyed playing on the slide yesterday.

Quite a Day

Wanting to keep up with her cousin David, Larkin made her own trip to the ER today. It all started with a morning visit to the doctor's office after a night of high fever (which she had acquired by the time we got home from our run yesterday. Notice her pink cheeks in yesterday's post). When the doctor couldn't find any signs of ear infections or sore throat, he sent us on to Dell Children's Medical Center for x-rays to rule out pneumonia. Five traumatic hours, lots of tears, some chest x-rays, and a UTI test later, we were finally able to come home with a diagnosis of a virus. The most expensive cold diagnosis ever, but we're relieved it's not pneumonia or a yucky UTI. Poor Larkin's only moment of enjoyment throughout the whole process was when checking out the fish in the waiting room (pictured below). Meanwhile, her fever has subsided somewhat, and she's sleeping comfortably now.

Cactus Flowers, Pierre, and Planes

In memory of Maurice Sendak, Larkin's been reading Pierre and Where the Wild Things Are a lot lately. She particularly likes Pierre because it's so tiny and portable. Here she is on our afternoon run, reading her book and disapproving of that bad Pierre, checking out the cactus flowers, and frantically waving bye to the airplanes flying overhead.

Taco Art

Larkin lounged around in the arm chair this afternoon, looking at a couple of childhood photos of her mama and  some "taco art" she made at school.

She even tried standing with no hands but not long enough for her mama to snap a photo.
