Sick, sleeping and crawling

I thought I would give a Macie update today. First and most exciting is she slept all the way through the night twice this week. This was really nice because Jeff was out of town and she usually choses to be up all night when he is gone. The first night she slept until 5:40 and then went back to bed until after 8. The next morning, she slept until 6:45. She went back to bed, but I don't remember when she woke up. I am sure it is because I bought a video monitor so I could feel better about letting her cry it out. The last 2 nights she has been up again, but she was sick. She seems to have caught the croup from Carson. She took the same steroid for a day, but she was starving all day. Since I was not able to nurse yesterday, I chose not to give it to her. She does seem to be feeling better today, but she still sounds yucky when she coughs. She has taken a good nap today and is working on her second one.
She has also started really crawling. It is funny to me because she is now really slow. She takes a couple "steps" and then goes back to sitting. She won't do any of her other crawls now so she has really slowed down. She is working hard on mastering it. Once she is good at it, I will post a video.
I tried to get a picture of Smokey (our cat) to put up here the other night. She was sitting on the back of the couch watching Macie in the monitor. It was really cute. She is not a social cat and not a good kid friendly pet. But, she lets Macie pull her hair and doesn't scratch or bother her. She did hiss at her one day, but Macie thought it was funny.
We have enjoyed our visit with Grandma Joan. I hate that Macie was sick, but it seems normal. Carson has always managed to be sick when she comes to visit. She will be here through the weekend since Jeff has been gone all week. He should be home this evening if the weather and flights cooperate. (If you read this on Friday afternoon, I am sure he would appreciate a prayer for easy travel)
