First ponytail! and yucky rash
Aliyah now has (barely) enough hair to pull back into a ponytail!
Sept 2 stats: the new world in her vocabulary is bubble. She is a tiny 21.4 pounds and 24.9 inches. She is nearly running and loves being on daddy’s shoulders. We are very fortunate that she eats like crazy. She loves broccoli, green beans, bananas, and strawberries. We are hoping that she keeps eating well long into toddlerhood!
We did have an interesting illness this week. She spiked a fever (102) after her 15 month old shots. I thought that it was related to the boosters, so we just gave her Tylenol and got her to bed. The next afternoon, she didn’t have the fever, but she had a really bad pimply rash all over her belly and some on her arms, legs and back. The doctor wanted to see her since she didn’t think that the specific boosters that Aliyah got normally created a rash like chicken pox. After seeing her she said that Aliyah had Roseola. Aliyah had a very mild case of it, but I thought that you all should know about the virus anyways.
Here is the mayo clinic website on it. Besides the fever, she didn’t show any signs of discomfort or crankiness and was not contagious after the fever broke.
We are enjoying our Labor Day weekend celebrating a wedding shower and going to toddler parks. We miss family parties like Aunt Cindy’s big beach bash in Santa Cruz–despite our distance, we love you all and miss you tons.

That is definitely a real ponytail. Yay! She is quickly becomming a little lady.

I agree with Anna! A real ponytail! Amazing milestone! She really is absolutely adorable!
We really missed you at Cindy’s party – all of us missed all of you. Sure wished you could have been there! We had a lot of fun & got silly, of course! (what would the party be like otherwise, huh?) We also got to see Alyssa & Jordan, and Marla & Dave’s new apartment. Cool! A & I also made a quick trip to a famous fabric store in San Francisco, then tried on one of her favorite wedding dresses the next day in Santa Cruz.
Glad she’s feeling better! Bet Mom & Dad are feeling better as well!
Love you tons!
