these past couple of days we thought that ella was sick. she woke up from a long nap on tuesday afternoon and had a high fever. it went up to 103.5 before we gave her ib profen! after that it went down but she still had a little fever until wednesday morning. we thought she was sick so we tried really hard to keep her busy with movies so she could relax. she loved the movies, but she still watched them as normal. as normal would mean watching a couple mins here and there but ultimately she was running around the house, playing like normal. she was a bit more crabby, but otherwise she had no other symptoms! she kept complaining that her tooth hurt, and i did find the last bit of her tooth poking through.

ella has such a hard time teething! when she was about 9 months old we ended up in the er because we were worried she was getting dehydrated. she had horrible diarrea (and awful diaper rash from it) and wouldn't eat. we didn't know if she was sick or just teething. they determined in the er that it was just from teeth!

luckily lucy doesn't seem to have the same trouble getting teeth. a bit of a runny nose and spitting up like crazy the day before a tooth comes through. otherwise she is very happy! she only has 2 teeth so far, so we have yet to see if this continues.
