Sickness will do that to you...

Seems like long time, no post. We've been in sickness hell. One antibiotic cleared up the strep, but not the ear infections. Mika was put on drops and another oral antibiotic that she had an allergic reaction to. It was described to me as a 'cousin' of penicillin with a 10% cross-reaction rate..Mika is in that 10%. Then she developed a viral infection that caused major canker sores in and around her mouth. She has been fine for the past 2 days, save for an exzema breakout that is causing her much grief. This morning Mika woke with gunked up eyes, so who knows what's going on now. Ugh.
On a positive front, Mika's vocabulary is exploding and she is closer and closer to full-on walking. She currently loves her string of beads, fridge magnets (especially the retro Liberace one..if you ask where Liberace is, she goes to the fridge and points), and the tickle game that I play with her. Mika supposedly eats well at daycare, but at home she eats only: raisins (other dried fruit is no good), cheerios, soy pablum, minigo/yogurt, and pasta on pasta night. She loves teriyaki chicken bowls from Badass Jacks. Mika likes to drink organic whole milk, water, and vanilla soy milk. She's not a big fan of juice, which is fine by me.
