christmas and colds

have you ever wondered why you sometimes get sick during the holiday seasons?

when we took alex to doctor to check about her "teething fever", doctor said alex was about to catch a cold. doctors, as it turned out, are right most of the time. add to that the stress of being cute to everyone on Christmas day. how else could you earn more than 2k?! ;)

so the day after Christmas, alex was sick (the real thing) for the first time. she fought it for a week and she even lost some weight. on second thought, i might just have hallucinated that part about losing weight. alex was back to normal after a week. okay more than normal. she started eating and feeding more :))
