Our baby is finally feeling better; and eager to make up for some lost time! After four days with a high fever, and another three days with the Moyna-blotch, we will never have to deal with Roseola again!
While A was out sick, he missed the local Health Department's Swine Flu clinic for little buggers, and when I called late last week to see if I could reschedule the shot, the receptionist said there was no way. So, when I went to get my seasonal flu shot on Monday, I thought the lady would just thumb her nose at me when I asked again. But instead she said, "We're in the business of keeping people healthy, not letting them get sick." So hopefully, that means we'll all be healthy the rest of the season!
BTW, I read a great article this morning in Wired about vaccines, Thirmerisol & Autism. The writing was great, and it's something else to consider, www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_waronscience.
So, to celebrate our health, and the wonderful Wheeling Indian Summer, we've been spending a lot of time outside. Last weekend D & I finished winterizing the yard, while Zander rode his hippo around the fire & tried to eat dirt out of the garden...
After a quick swing at the neighborhood park earlier this week, we decided to give the Wheeling Park Playground another go-around yesterday.
Alexander loved the swings even more this time, but he wasn't so sure about the super-electrified plastic sliding board. Even my hair was standing on end!
But his favorite thing at the park was playing in the leaves.
D has been trying to teach the little pumpkin to turn around & scoot off the furniture or climb down the stairs. Well, although he doesn't quite have it at home (it is way too much fun to go head first off the couch when mama's there to stand you on your head), Alexander really impressed me with his new-found skill at the park. As Z was crawling around the park he came across a small hill/slope and he turned around, and backed down the hill. Oh my, so cute!
Although the little guy lost his appetite for about 4 days while he was feverish, he's still gained more than 1 pound in the last month and weighs 23.3 pounds now. Size 4 Diapers, here we come!
Cheerios are by far the fella's favorite, but there really isn't anything he refuses... unless he's full & done eating all together. We're trying to bottle feed the babes less and fill him up with yummy "people" food.
The night before the babes got sick, we were in Carlisle for Jerry & Traci's wedding. Unfortunately, D had to stay @ grandma's house & babysit, but a fabulous time was still had by all!
I started crying as soon as Jerry walked out, but luckily pulled it together by the time I had to talk to anyone! The ceremony was beautiful & the reception was so much fun!
Jerry was one of my best friends for much of my youth, and it was so wonderful seeing him all jazzed up & happy with Traci!
It was also pretty fun seeing Nolan letting it all hang out:)
And Papa was waiting for us with a sleeping baby when we made our way back home.
