My Little Love Dove

Tom and I were so tickled by Whitley as she kept embracing her Daddy's legs when he came in from outside.


Whitley had another rough week, visiting the doctor's office on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, she had a fever of 104.9 and underwent various tests, including a chest x-ray and blood work. Her pediatrician determined the illness was viral, in conjunction with an ear infection, and Whitley received a shot of antibiotic and a nebulizer, for breathing treatments. Fortunately, my mom was here to watch Whitley the rest of the week, administering numerous doses of the sweet and special affection that CC gives best. I can say with sincerity that Whitley's improvement has been dramatic. It is so obvious how much better she feels; her squeals and giggles have sounded throughout our house all weekend. What a delightful, reassuring sound!
However, the purpose of this blog is not just to summarize Whitley's recent illness; but to share what a sweet, sweet, sweet, affectionate little patient she is. My daughter is such a love! I believe I've noted before that Whitley routinely pauses in her playing to dole out hugs and kisses, and I know I've written about how she's my "snuggle bunny". Well, this week I've caught some of her little lovin' self on camera. :)


Whitley climbs on CC while watching Dora the Explorer. It was so cute! She would repeatedly lean forward on CC's knees, and then lean back for a hug!
Toys need love, too! Here's Whitley hugging "Learning Puppy" and kissing "Sweet Kitty." But my favorite is getting one of Whitley's big kisses!!
