Well, Alex spent the weekend with some type of strange virus that involved his body being covered with tiny red dots. He had a fever of about 101, but wasn't acting all that sick. At least, not NEARLY as bad as the last time. I ended up calling the answering service at the pediatrician's office on Sunday, and the doctor called back immediately. After describing the symptoms, she determined that it was most likely a virus, and he didn't need to be seen unless it got worse. Well, his fever is gone but he still has the rash. He is extremely grumpy, not sure if it's because of the sickness or not. I imagine he's no longer really sick, just on one of his mood swings I guess. He alternates from really happy days to really grumpy ones.
One thing that's consistent -- Alex is SUCH a snuggler! All day long, he brings me books, and wants to sit on my lap and listen to me read them. He does this over and over again. If anyone wants gift ideas for him, BOOKS PLEASE! Right now he keeps bringing me this book called "What is Easter?" at least 5 times a day. It's OCTOBER, kiddo! Seriously, we need some variety! I got this cute photo of him snuggling up to Lucy:
He has been making progress on his walking. He's still really wobbly, and often he chooses to crawl, but he is making more of an effort to walk to get things around the house. And he has been able to do some longer stretches. Here's some pictures of him walking around (thanks Aunt Jenn for the cute Elmo sweatsuit!)
And that's what's up on Boomerang Drive this week!
