Sick, Sick, Sick...

Well, this has been a very long week... J came down with a very bad cold on Monday and decided to share it with his mommy and daddy. He has been waking up every hour every night since Monday! Whenever he lays down, he has trouble breathing from being congested. The doctor said that it was just a cold and that it should be over soon. Jim stayed home with him on Tuesday and I've been working from home since Wednesday. Jim is also home today sick. Of course, Jim and I both had deadlines at work this week! I've been working overtime for the last 2 months, which is at least finally over!!!

I think J has loved me being home with him this week. Even though he has not been feeling well, he has still had fun playing with his toys. The rest of his hair has finally grown back! He has a full head of hair now!!



A few exciting things have happened this week. For starters, J can now sit up on his own without any support and he can sit up on his own from any position. Also, he decided to start crawling last night!! We now realize that we will be spending this weekend baby proofing the house. All that we had done up until now was the outlet covers.

Unfortunately, I have barely started Christmas shopping. I've been working too much to really even start. I am hoping that we will all be feeling better this weekend!

Thanksgiving

We had a terrific Thanksgiving! J's cousins, aunt and uncle all came down from Virginia to spend the holiday with us. Grandma, Grandpa and Great-grandma came up from South Florida too! Local Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Pete also came over for Thanksgiving dinner. J actually slept through the Thanksgiving dinner. Our extended family came over for dessert. Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving:











J had a great time with his cousins!


J is getting his next set of teeth, so he has been a little unhappy. The first one up top has already broken through, which means we did not get a lot of sleep last night...
