Teething, crawling, ear infections, pneumonia...OH MY!!

This has been quite an exciting, yet exhausting week in the Baseer household.

• Both girls cut their first tooth (finally)!!
• Miss Laila started crawling, and now she won't sit still!! Sophia started crawling around the first of the month, but Laila being a bit smaller, needed to build up quite a bit more strength. But she did it...and there's no stopping her now!!

So that was all of the exciting news of the week...but with the good, comes the bad.

• Sophia came down with a double ear infection, shortly after that first tooth was cut. But she's on antibiotics, and on the mend. WHEW!!

As if that wasn't enough...

• Laila gets sick, we take her into the Dr. on Friday night, and they brush it off as just a virus, no medicines, just use the humidifier, Tylenol, Motrin, etc. We go through another night of sleeplessness, and by Saturday she just wasn't looking any better. We finally got her down, and sleeping soundly, and get her sister off to sleep as well, and you would have thought Q and I had hit the jackpot...we were so ready for some good sound sleep. But, being the overprotective Mommy that I am, I had to check on Laila one last time before I could sleep...and THANK GOD I DID, she was BURNING UP!! Take her temp, and it was at 104.8, so no rest for the weary...Make a call to Auntie Cristin and Uncle Charlie to see if she can sit with Sophia while we take Laila into the ER. (I knew my gut was telling me this was more than just a virus). So Auntie and Uncle arrive, and off we go. We got right in, which was fabulous!! After about an hour or so, and one chest X-Ray later, Laila has PNEUMONIA!! But, luckily we caught it just in time, and it isn't TOO bad!! So they give her Amoxicillin and send us home. It was another somewhat sleepless night here, but her fever broke (again), so hopefully she's on the upward swing.

Who knew Motherhood could be so rewarding, and exciting one day, and the very next day, full of worry, and fear?!? I now know, never to doubt my Motherly instincts because they will not lead me or my babies astray!! There is nothing like a Mother's connection to her children.

Girls LOVE Bubble Baths!!

We all know that big girls, love their bubble baths....but as you can see from below, this love starts from a very early age!! Bath time is a super fun time for the girls, they would literally lay in the bath tub forever if we let them, buy we try not to let them get prune-y on us...mean Mommy and Daddy!!

It sure is hard to tell which one is which huh...

This is Little Laila...or Bean as we like to call her.

And this is Miss Sophia, or my Punky.

Swinging is so fun!!

Laila and Sophia recently had their first ride on the swings at the park by our house, and they LOVED every minute of it as you can see by their BIG smiles!!

Sophia wanting more pushes!!

I loved the way I caught the sun in this picture...so cool!! And the big open mouth smile says it all, huh? Sooooo fun Mommy!!

Do you think she liked it?

Our first visit from the Easter Bunny!!

Sophia and Laila just had their very first visit from the Easter Bunny!! They got all dressed up in their fancy dancy Easter dresses, and we were off to Auntie Cristins to see what the Easter Bunny hid in those super fun little eggs.

They got to hunt for Easter Eggs with their cousins, and they received lots of goodies in their Easter baskets!! It was a fun-filled day with the family, and a great first Easter, although we did miss our Daddy because he was away in Pakistan. But he will be here for the next Easter, and all the one's after that.

Here are some pictures of the girls enjoying the day...
