Back to Normal

Getting ready for Nathan's birthday party.

A little hot and sweaty, it was only over 100 degrees.

Morning camera time.   :)

He was cracking me up, sitting like this.

All decked out for Isabel's wedding.  (Alex's cousin)

Sharp dressed man.

The best we could do!

1 pound, 2 inch difference at 5 1/2 months apart!

Hot, Whiny, Irritible, Tired, and Speckled

What a week it's been.
Come to find out,
the fever that Benjamin had was the beginning of roseola.
After the fever went away,
he developed a rash all over his body.

Let's just say...the fever was no big thing.
I'd take it over the screaming that took place for the past 3 days!
My little guy has not been himself.

He's hardly eaten, tires easily,  and doesn't want to be put down.

Monday night: start of the fever.

The temperature is rising.

Friday: fever's gone, speckles have arrived.

Not cute.

Finally, no screaming.

Saturday: looking a mess.

So tired.

Saturday night: Things are looking up.  

 

 

My poor baby...I hope he is okay today,
we're heading to cousin Nathan's first birthday party.

Nemo, He's Not.

First Dip...He didn't know what to do.

Hanging out.

 

After this pool adventure, Ben got sick.

I've been home with him for two days.

His fever is finally gone, 

but I've now got myself one whiny kid!

Sunday Funday

Fun with his green beans.

Liking the grass.

Enough already.

Seriously annoyed.

Cheap entertainment

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.

Well, due to the unruliness that was Benjamin's hair...we decided to give him a little trim.

The funky patch is now a lot shorter.

It has a very strange texture, so I'm anxious to see how it will grow back.

And that was that...we did the best we could!

We had some visitors yesterday.

My friend Amy and her boys stopped by.

He's Getting Active

Here are a few short videos of our ever changing boy.

He's getting louder and louder each day, 

and is finally able to roll over from belly to back!
