What a trooper getting his picture taken on Sunday sick as can be!
This adorable little guy has been a wonderful blessing to our family for five months today. It is so hard to believe that we have been enjoying him for that long. He is developing such a great personality. He loves to shove toys and his fingers into his mouth and it drives big brother and sister crazy because they have been told to keep theirs out of their mouths. They yell each time they see him with his fingers in his mouth and we try to explain that he's a baby so it is okay for him to do it. He continues to be smothered with mooches a lot and maybe even more that he would like sometimes. The house isn't very quite even when the older two are in bed because he loves to talk to Jason and me when he is given a moment alone with us. We swear he is going to be the talker out of our kids, which is saying a lot if you know the other two. Over the past week he has been battling, and I do mean BATTLING, a horrible cough and had had a fever for 4 days. When I took him to the doctor on Monday he had to have a blood test and a chest x-ray. Both came back perfectly fine so it was determined that he was suffering from viral brocholitis (sp?) and there was nothing to be done. It would just run its course. Needless to say, Jason, myself and the Lil Man have been averaging 4 hours of sleep a night. He sleeps well until midnight, off and on until three, then from 3-5 a.m. he has been up coughing and from 5-7 he has slept. I now am the proud owner of some killer DARK CIRCLES! We pray that the worst is over and that he is on the mend. He did go to sleep at 5:30 last night and didn't get up for the day until 10 till 8 this morning (we were up a couple of times through the night but nothing like we had been) when he had to take Priss to school.
We love having him and would had an enormous void in our home without him here.
