Hippity, hoppity, coughing all the way!

The night before we left for south GA (Easter weekend), Briley started breathing treatments for bronchiolitis. We were a little concerned after a couple of sleepless nights earlier in the week caused from what we thought was her cutting three more teeth...And her cough also worried us after it sounded worse over night. We were very thankful we fit in a doctor's appointment before we left town for the weekend! Unfortunately, Briley didn't feel that great during our entire visit. So, we didn't take many pictures.
Friday, we traveled down to Ocilla. The day was pretty long and exhausting for her and Gram's Easter egg hunt on Saturday only lasted for about 30 or 45 minutes for the two of us. She got sick while everyone else was eating lunch so we went back to Gram's where she took a very long nap. I was disappointed that I never even had a chance to take a picture of her out on the farm, but there's always next year.
Later in the afternoon, after everyone was back from the hunt and Briley was up from her nap, we packed our things and headed to Nonna and Gampy's in Byromville. She had another restless night and was pretty fussy Easter morning. She, Nonna and I stayed home so she could finish a much needed nap while Gampy, Uncle Trey and Daddy went to church. Afterwards, everyone came over for lunch and we had a nice time hanging out with Uncle Trey, Aunt Shonya, Uncle Trent, Raven (flying a kite) and Gates. Oh, and Briley was excited to find TWO baskets filled with goodies from the Easter Bunny! He has made her feel extra special two years in a row!
She went for the snacks first...She IS her mother's daughter! She thought the tea set was really pretty that Nonna and Gampy gave her. We realized how much she loved her new 101 Dalmatians movie once we got home Easter night. We turned it on during her breathing treatment and it instantly helped calm her. She
started taking steps during the first couple of days of March, but over the past two weeks, she's really been moving! If we keep the movie on after her treatment, she'll walk to the television pointing all the way. She LOVES doggies!
