Nora is four months and cousins come to visit

My brother, sister-in-law, and their three kids got here last night. Today we took them to the city. It was Nora's first time there. It was a busy day with lots of walking, sea food, ice cream, and lots of wind.

Beach trip today. Today was forecasted to be the warmest day there this week. It wasn't that warm. And it was windy. My brother noted that we can't live somewhere it's not windy. Maya loved the water this time. Last time she was terrified of it.

Today we went shopping, then had lunch and ice cream. I failed to notice that the parking was only two hour. About 2.5 hours later we got back to the car to find a parking ticket. While we were out Maya wasn't really acting herself and I thought she felt warm. Fortunately, I had a thermometer and tylenol in the diaper bag leftover from or recent trip.  She perked up after the drugs and didn't really have any other symptoms. Her fever gets up to 104ish when the drugs start wearing off. Derek took her to the pediatrician in the evening. She got the probably just a virus diagnosis and said her throat was a little irritated.

Maya, Nora, and I hung out at home today while everyone else went out. Maya's finally fever broke this afternoon. Nora hit 17 weeks. Maya wasn't feeling up to having her picture taken.

Nora felt warm to me this morning. I took her temp and it seemed normal so I thought it was just me being paranoid. Maya had her first preschool/music class. The basic structure is free play, circle time with music, art, snack, free play, circle time with instruments. She seemed to enjoy it. But she's shy in a structured environment like that. She was really into the instrument though. After preschool we grabbed a few groceries and a cake for an early birthday party for my sister-in-law. Nora still felt warm to me. I checked her temperature again and she had a slight fever. It never got as high as Maya's did thankfully. She didn't seem bothered by it.

When everyone got home we had a birthday party for aunt S. Maya was excited. Nora just wanted the camera.

Everyone but Nora and me went hiking today. We decided to keep her home since she was still feverish in the morning. She was still pretty much her happy self. But we didn't want to be out of civilization with a sick kiddo.

Happy birthday to aunt S and uncle M (my little brother who is not so little anymore). Had to say goodbye to everyone this morning. Maya is snotty and coughing. I assume this is related the the fever earlier in the week.
