We've got a sick, & mobile baby!

This is Jack's second time being sick in a month, and it's taking its toll on him, and on mommy. We went to the Dr yesterday, there's nothing going on in his ears or lungs, just another respiratory infection. And, of course there's really nothing you can do for a baby with a cough except humidifier and propping their mattress, so that's what I've done, along with some occasional Tylenol to help with his forever running nose! Today I've spent my time lysoling and cleaning everything. Boy, the house kinda deteriorates rather quickly when I'm out of commission! The end of last week was spent coughing throughout the night, by both myself and Jack. We are on the mend though, his cough is slowly, but surely, getting better. And, other than feeling groggy from the nyquil, I'm feeling much better too. Jack's appetite is still not what it usually is, and he's been throwing up his food a lot, but we're able to get some food in him. Thankfully, he's been a good sport about it all, and really only fussing when he's tired, which has been a little more than usual this past week. He's jumping like a maniac and playing away in his jumperoo at the moment, so he's hanging in there.

Over the weekend, we were up in Lake Zurich with Matt's family for Easter. Sadly, both Jack and myself were not feeling the greatest all weekend, but we had a good time and Jack showed off his new crawling skills! That's right, as of Friday, March 6th, we have a mobile monkey on our hands! He's mastered crawling and going from belly to sitting position, all in one day. Matt had been working crazy hours last week, so we pretty much didn't see him until Friday. So, I'm convinced Jack was waiting for daddy to crawl :0)

We've got a big, busy weekend coming up. Saturday night is Matt's dads big 50th bday party, and I think the boys are all going golfing before hand, which means we'll likely head up there Friday night and spend the night, so we're available to help set up. Then, Sunday is Jack's cousin Rylie's baptism and celebration afterwards. So, we're gonna be working really hard to get us all healthy by Friday! We'll be staying home for the most part, and airing out the house. Though, I only left the windows open for a second today....it got cold again!

As I mentioned, last weekend we hung out with Rylie and Christine snapped a few pictures of the 2 babies. The outside ones were done at their house, the ones of just Jack I took one afternoon here. Enjoy!
