Lazy Days and Chicken Pox!

Wednesday and today, Adam and I were trying to relax with Noah and we would have succeeded were it not for Noah's outbreak of Chicken Pox. Poor kid. He just got over an inner ear infection and a cold and now he's got the chicken pox! Well, at least he's developing immunities! I'm hoping he's not going to have both mine and Adam's tendencies for lots of ear infections. Good old daycare! They're doing a great job, but I wish those other kids would keep their germs to themselves!

Sickness runs rampant!

So, our household is sick. Noah has had a fever on and off for the past three days as high as 102.2 and he's had cold like symptoms pretty much since he started daycare two weeks ago. He seemed to be getting better last week, but I'm still having to clean out his nose twice a day and he's a bit more clingy than usual. Adam took him to the doctor today and he has an inner ear infection. I'm thinking that it started out as a cold and moved into his ears over the course of the couple weeks. ALSO! (as if I needed something more) One of the kids at daycare had the chicken pox and Noah was exposed about a week ago to them. We haven't seen any signs of them yet, but you never know! Wouldn't that be fun...chicken pox AND an ear infection!

Adam has a cold as well. It's a pretty bad one complete with nasal stuffiness, sinus pressure, headaches, body aches...the whole nine yards. He's had a pretty bad cough and been really congested. I feel REALLY bad for him because it's hard enough having your child sick, but being sick yourself as well is really difficult. I am not sick now (knock on wood), however, I was really sick when Noah first got sick. Since he's still nursing a little, I tend to get the transfer from him when he's sick.

Noah doesn't normally go down for a nap well, but this is how you can tell he's sick:

He's asleep...on the floor of the pack and play....poor baby!

Great hair day!

I found this picture from the other day and it made me laugh. I thought you all might get a kick out of it too! :) Hope you're having a great hair day!

Daycare and a photoshoot!

So Monday and Tuesday were Noah's first days at daycare. Monday was really hard, especially the first 1/2. I cried all the way bringing him to daycare and all the way to work after I dropped him off. I visited him on my lunch and he was sleeping because he had been wailing all morning. He woke up before I left and I fed him. He seemed mad at me, but he was ok when I left. He had an ok afternoon and then Adam picked him up at 5. Tuesday went much better. Adam dropped him off and he smiled and waved at him when he was leaving. He took naps for them and when I visited him at lunch, they told me that he is pretty attached to one of the girls that works for the daycare. She's young and has a hairstyle similar to me. They think that he thinks she looks like me, so he's incredibly attached to her. When I visited at lunch on Tuesday, he was happy to see me, but very mad when I left. When Adam picked him up, he seemed like he was having a good time, so I think or at least I hope, he's getting adjusted. Friday's probably going to be hard for him again because he's had two days with me in between.

Speaking of the days in between: Noah and I had some fun today! This morning we were hanging out and I decided to take some pictures of him. He's getting so big! He pulls up on everything that's within reach. He can stand on his own without holding on to anything as well, but he can only do it if he's distracted by something in his hands or on TV or out the window. Once he's not distracted anymore, he figures out he's standing up and falls over. :) Here are two of the pictures I took!
