Well Teagan started to get a boogie nose on Tuesday and then Tuesday evening is when she started to get a bad cold. I was in fear that it was going to be the January cold all over again, but so far it is already getting better and it hasnt even been a week. I think her worst day was Friday when she puked all over my mom! but i think that was the turning point. Chris' parents had planned to go to the Milwaukee Zoo for family free day on Saturday, but after mom called me and said that she had puked i thought for sure we were not going... But to my surprise she actually had an appetite Friday night, slept through the night and was pleasant to be around Saturday, at least more enjoyable than the days prior. So there was hope!!
Needless to say after a 3 hour morning nap we wrangled up the Renwick/Wood family (aunt Andi, uncle Michael, Grandma, Grandpa, mom and pop) and went to the zoo for 2 hours. i knew going in that there wasnt going to be that many animals out and about, but i was kind of surprised at how small it was. Did you know that the Milwaukee Zoo doesnt have any lions!!! disappointing. But teagan had fun looking at the bear and monkeys. there were even little ducks walking around in the bird area. She did really well considering she was still sick. she did her monkey noises and piggy noises (still have to get on video). we got some cute pictures, of course i cant post them on here, still working on a workaround on that one. Grandpa walked around most of the time with Teagan on his shoulders, it was cute. Teagan loved it. i wouldnt mind seeing everything from up there, then i wouldnt have to hop around to get a good view of the animals from behind all the head of people.
So this was Teagans first time at the zoo. i think next time we will go to the Brookfield zoo, maybe take the train or something. i think she would get a kick out of it. plus i hear it is much bigger and then she will be able to see the lions and do her lion noise! :)
But all in all it was a good saturday. after that we drove home and hung out at aunt Andi and uncle Michael's house. all the cousins came over to watch the Tennessee basketball game, sorry Tennessee... it was fun. we didnt stay too late because teagan didnt get much of an afternoon nap on the drive home (not much luck with car naps these days) so on top of being sick and tired she was not a very happy camper. we held her off with a bath in the giant jacuzzi bathtub. She was up until after 9 and we had to wake her up this morning at 8:00. Teagan is still on the upswing of getting better, she is in a good mood but still has dried, crusted boogies all over her face that are impossible to get off with out her throwing a temper tantrum! so i am just gradually picking them off and wiping as hard as i can without hurting her with a wipe.
FYI, i am currently loading up some videos that i should have done a while ago, but it just takes so dang long! so as soon as they are done i will post them. plus i have been downloading pictures from Chucke Cheeses since yesterday and it is still going on shutterfly. so i will post the link when i can. i think i might look into another site for holding my pictures since shutterfly takes forever!! any suggestions?
