Well we just got home last night from our first family vacation to Denver. We went out to visit Mike's brother and sister and his parents and other sister also flew out. Vacations are
definitely not as easy with a baby. The flight out went fine, Hailey was entertained with a Go Diego Go DVD and some toys but it was hard for her not to be able to move around. We got in on Satur
day morning and just hung out at Andy's place most of the day. Hailey slept pretty good the first night considering it was her first night not in her crib. On Sunday morning we woke up early and went for a walk. Denver has some really b
eautiful scenery, the mountains are beautiful, it's so different from North Carolina. It was quite warm in Denver but it was nice to escape the humidity for a few days. That afternoon we went to the pool and grilled out while the Hailey and Caitlin played in the pool. We went to the park for dinner and had a picnic but Hailey started feeling really warm and didn't want to eat very much. That night she woke up crying with a 102 degree fever. At first we thought it was due to her teething but she just really wasn't herself and was getting really clingy with me. On Monday we went to the aquarium and poor Hailey was just miserable she refused to eat or drink anything all day and we were getting worried about her. Tuesday we woke up around 3:00 a.m. and panicked when her fever was 103.6 so we called the children's
hospital. They recommended that we have her checked out because we were going to be traveling home later that afternoon. So at 5:00 a.m. we took her in, they said she had infections in both of her ears so no wonder she was feeling so awful! We gave her
Tylenol/
Motrin to keep her fever down and some
benadry
l for the flight home to make her more comfortable so she could sleep. She ended up sleeping the entire flight home and this morning she is feeling much better. Overall we had a great time, it was really good to see mike's family but it was
definitely stressful having Hailey not feeling well. But I will say it is great to be home!

Poor girl. I've been really lucky and my kids have never had ear infections. But I know there awful. I'm glad you made the most of your trip though. Your little girl is so cute!
