Poor Baby....

Last night at 3am, Jason and I awoke to Miss Lily crying.  This is unusual behavior for her but we tried our best to get her back to sleep and she finally went back down around 4am.  This morning when Jason went to go get her, he found her face covered in red bites.  She has 3 on her face (only 2 are visible here, the other one is by her lip on the other side), one on her neck and two on her head under her hair.  The poor baby was being eaten by a nasty Florida mosquito (approximately the size of a chihuahua).  We still haven't found the culprit yet, BUT I did find this guy as I was searching her room.  Yes. It's a brown recluse. eeeeeeeeck.

Fred, the now dead, brown recluse spider

EDIT:  ok, after consulting an entomologist, this is not a brown recluse.  It kind of looks like one with similar features (and it had a fiddle like mark on its back), but luckily it is not.  Whew, but none the less, it was a nasty spider hanging out in my little girls room!

OMG - so scary. I'm sorry about Lily's bites, but it it took that to find the spider - good thing - better "skeeter" bites than the other. I'm sure you're looking for the spider mate. Kiss both babies for me.shaggy35
