Fall is here...
....and so are colds. Don managed to pick up the first "school" cold of the season two weeks ago, and by the end of the week, I figured I had escaped infection! Of course, I hadn't, and neither had Micah. Last Friday, he had his first real fever: 101.0. Not too fun! He slept an awful lot that day, probably 2 hours longer than his normal naps, and he was really snuggly (which I didn't mind!). Thankfully, my cold never went to my throat, so I still taught lessons all week, and washed my hands like crazy! Micah and I both ended up with a cough....the best part about that was that he was absolutely tickled by my cough a few times and he just cracked himself up :o)
Despite his cold, he has been rather upbeat and is still eating and playing well (sleeping is another story, but we'll leave that alone). One morning, after his typical half hour nap, I went in to find him all wrapped up in his blankets, and completely facing the other end of the crib! He was rather proud of himself.
Now, we're all feeling quite better and even (finally!) got to take dinner to our friends Jon and Stacy who had their first baby, Danica, back in August. Yes, August. It was still good to see them again and spend a few hours together with our babies. Micah even ate from a REAL spoon, as I forgot to take a baby spoon along...that was interesting.
On another fun note, now when I get the camera out, Micah knows what to do and he gets all full of smiles :o) So, here are some new pics of him being all cheesy for the camera:
