Airports, Flu, and Food

The Pike family has been really close with Shane, and a couple weeks ago Elder Travis Pike got home from serving his mission! We were lucky enough to go to the airport and see him come down the escalator. I've never seen a missionary get home, and the experience was awesome! It was so good to see Travis again, too! Kinda weird too, because when he left we'd only been married for a month and a half. Now we have a baby! 


Valarie has always been a very good sleeper. She goes down around 9pm, and wakes up around 6am to eat, then goes back down until 8am. Last weekend she all of a sudden wasn't sleeping well anymore. She wouldn't go to sleep. Friday night she literally cried for 2 hours straight, slept for a few hours, then woke up at 3am and cried until 5:30am. Saturday we took her to the doctor and found out she had a bad case of the flu. Kinda funny since the previous Monday she'd gotten her flu shot. She got some meds, but still cried constantly. All night Saturday, all night Sunday. Finally, on Monday, she began acting like herself again. It broke my heart to see her so sad and miserable, I was so happy when she was finally acting better!


Anytime I wear hoops, Val likes to pull them out. usually she drops them after she's gotten them, but this particular night she kept sticking them in her mouth. She was very proud of herself and thought she was hilarious.


Sometimes Shane likes to play with Val too soon after she's eaten. 


We had meatballs and pasta for dinner last week. Valarie wasn't very interested in eating it, she just liked playing with it.


We made Val a homemade ball pit. She enjoys it!


Last night while at work I texted Shane to see how he and Val were doing. I received two pictures back.



Life is pretty good right now. We're happy, healthy, and excited for February! 
(It's going to be a good month!)
