Fun Times

Nicholas and I have been sick all week. It started as a cold that quickly takes over your chest. We went to the doctor yesterday and sure enough, Nicholas has pneumonia. They gave him 2 shots (one large one that they split into 2 syringes and give at the same time for little guys). He is also on antibiotics for 5 days. The last 2 nights have been rough, but hopefully it will pass soon.

I think the reason this all happened was the fact that we had a busy weekend and spent a lot of time outside in the wind. On Saturday we built the pump house walls and put the siding on. Sunday we had to do garage fill and back-fill around the foundation as well as spread gravel on the driveway. You can see pics on our house blog. On top of that I was throwing a shower for my friend Kamie so Ben had to do a lot on his own on Sunday.

Yesterday was really warm and sunny so I took Nicholas out for a few minutes of fresh air. Here is what he had fun doing!



Apparently the side is more fun on your belly now!

When you are sick and stuck in the house for a week, you have to get creative on what you play with. So today we took out some cans and practiced our stacking:

He actually had a good stack going at one point! Hopefully we will be well enough next week to resume some of our normal activities.

I think he's right handed. :)

That's for sure. It's been quite obvious for a while now!

Like mom used to say about Ben... when he had to move something from his full right hand to his empty left hand in order to grab (with his right hand) whatever mom was giving him at the time.
