We caught some icky virus that gave us a head cold and a cough and a sore throat and a fever and a headache, and Mark had an ear-ache too. No fun at all. We all felt pretty miserable. Poor little Mark had one day where he was particularly pathetic. His ears hurt him, and when I put him down, he would crawl in little circles, crying and rubbing his head on the ground. Poor little guy. And in the middle of that, he was teething, too! Aaaarggh.
Funny how every time so far, Mark's teething has coincided with him being sick... the (single, male) doctor claims there is no connection, but the fever and ear-ache part, in my opinion, is connected to teething. Ask any other Mom. Anyway, Mark has 5 teeth now, and one more is trying hard to come in. Now that Mark is feeling better, he is sleeping a lot during the day and the night, this round of being sick seems to have really worn him out. He took 3 naps today! He is also fussier than usual, doubtless from the discomfort of teething. He constantly wants to be physically connected with one of us. He clings like a little monkey!
Anyway, here are a few pictures from this weekend. Mark's friend MacKenzie had her Birthday party. We had fun! Ben tied a helium balloon to the back of Mark's pants... he was easy to locate!
Mark was still a little small to climb on most of the kiddie-gym, but he sure tried! The slide was a new experience... he mostly tried crawling UP it.
Silly Dad! Why is he rubbing the balloon on Mark's head?
This was right after the party. Mark is always glad to come home, and yells "ah! ah! ah!" all the way up the stairs.That's all for now. I'll post more in a few days, it's getting harder to take pictures of the little guy because he is always on the move!
