Mommy Pancakes

Yesterday I was asking Bea what she wanted for breakfast. She said, "Mommy pancakes!" Last week for Valentines I had made a Valentine's Day brunch and invited my parents over. The brunch consisted of blueberry pancakes, a potato, egg, and bacon dish (a recipe from my cousin Lisa.) and mimosas! Well, a mimosa for me, champagne for everyone else. :) I don't normally make pancakes or waffles on the weekends because in the past I'm the only one that eats it. Izak is a bacon and eggs type of guy. (Plus in South Africa waffles and pancakes are dessert to them-go figure.) So I couldn't wait to have kids big enough to actually have a Saturday or Sunday morning pancakes or waffles like my dad used to make. Of course I was still reluctant to make pancakes for just two. But Beatrice was insistent so I made some pancakes. I ended up freezing the left overs and Bea had some of them this morning for breakfast again.

Camille turned 2 months old yesterday! She's getting so big already and it makes me sad. She already had her 2 month well baby doctor appointment. And the doctor said she was 'perfect.' I felt so bad when she had to get her three injections. Her little face and head got so red! But she calmed down right away when they gave her the oral injection-that stuff must taste good.

It seems Beatrice has been trying to fight off a cold. What was just a runny nose and a cough now seems a lot worse! She and Izak are both unwell and are going to go to the walk in clinic this morning. Beatrice is so warm! She's had a fever since early early this morning. Camille and I, for now are untouched. I'm trying really hard to keep Bea away from Millie. I don't want her to get sick!!
