YaYa, Becky, Madison, B, Annabelle & I met Joe and Casey for a day at the Shedd Aquarium. Annabelle loved it and enjoyed checking out all the fish. She is much more in to it these days and is becoming less of a scaredy cat. She even liked to stand up and lean against the glass – although she did really enjoy banging on it which probably is not strongly recommended. It was really good to see Casey & Joe even though it was just for a short time.

After the aquarium, we were off to the Rosemont Theatre for Sesame Street Live. We didn’t think Annabelle would really be into it because she’s still so young, but we were very wrong. She loved it!!! (The explanation points here may be an understatement) Madison was a great cousin and held her on her lap through most of the show and Annabelle danced and danced. The show was called Elmo’s Musical World and she ate it up. She rocked out to the music and when they weren’t singing she squealed with delight. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard. She had so much fun. We’ll definitely be looking for more of these outings in the near future.

We noticed Annabelle’s eye was looking a little red and after her afternoon nap she had a bit of green gunk building up. To avoid taking a sick baby on the plane, Becky ran us over to the urgent care center. Yep – PINK EYE! Since she didn’t seem to catch it from daycare she may have picked it up from the plane, airport, or one of the many other stops we had along the way on our vacation. Luckily she’s such an agreeable girl – she only rubbed her eyes when she got tired and only fussed during the exam. We didn’t get back to YaYa’s until midnight and after applying the drops to Annabelle’s eyes – which is not easy to do with a 10 month old! – we all crashed and were sound asleep within minutes. Even with her eye being aggravated Annabelle still slept through the night. Such a good girl!
