Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

Friday, February 29, 2008

Haven't blogged in awhile. We're still here. Jack's had a sick couple of weeks. We went to SingSong at ACU to see Jenny. When we got there Friday night, Jack started to get sick. He had some sort of stomach bug coming from both ends (sorry). He still seemed happy and normal, just had some unpleasant diapers and throwing up moments. And we only got to see Jenny for like 5 minutes. Literally.

Then on the way home, Matt got the stomach bug. It made him feel sick to ride when I was driving (no comments please) so he drove home feeling terrible, and we occasionally stopped at the DQ for me to change an explosive diaper. Fun!

After we got over that for a few days, he got sick again! On Tuesday morning he woke up not acting like himself. He had a temp of 100.9 and Matt took him to the dr. (Yea Matt! I just don't have too many days left!) and he had strep throat! It made me feel so bad that he felt so bad and couldn't even tell me. But once we started him on the antibiotic he seemed much more like himself. This is his first antibiotic, so I guess that's not too bad of a record.

Since I last updated, Jack's learned some new things. He's laughing out loud a lot more, which is fun. I'm hoping to get some video of that soon. And...here's a big one...he's started walking! Yea! It really surprised me because I just didn't think he was ready yet. But Thursday night, he started taking a few steps from me to Matt and back to me. It was so exciting! He's been practicing a lot and getting better and better. Just in time for his birthday on Thursday. Can't believe it's almost been a year already. I'll save the sappy stuff for the birthday post. Speaking of birthday...



For some reason, Blogger is changing the colors on the invitation. It looks much better than this, but I can't figure out how to fix it, so you get the idea!

Clapping!

So Jack figured out how to clap tonight and we actually captured it on video! I was just thinking earlier tonight about how he hadn't learned how to clap yet, so I was showing him again. Then, a few hours later, he just spontaneously started clapping, and I grabbed my camera. I haven't had much to write about lately--of course Jack is still as cute as ever. He has 10 teeth now ( no that's not a typo. He really has 10!) and he's learning new things every day. Here's a video of some of his first claps.
