Just when we thought we had beat out sicknesses, they came back! We are fortunate now to have been illness-free for two weeks - and hopefully for many more to come. During the past few weeks, we just kept on telling ourselves that Benjamin's immune system was developing very well!
One night, when Ben had a fever, we were told to give him Tylenol and just keep a diaper on him. So he played with one of his toys on the ground.
A couple of days later, he was on medication for his ear infection and enjoying floor time.
Then, we had a peaceful Valentine's Day for Benjamin (his Daddy, on the other hand, had a fever and didn't feel so well).
The next day, Ben got a fever. Then, I started feeling ill too. Turns out we all got the same virus. Ben even got a rash. I had to go to Dallas on a business trip, and the rash looked way worse when I got back (it was so hard to leave). The day after I returned, Ben got a skin biospy to make sure that his rash was a viral reaction (it was). Then, we bought him a jumper - best investment ever! He enjoyed watching his daddy assemble it.
But he enjoys using it even more!
His rash eventually went away and things calmed down. My mom even came up that Sunday to help out - Josh and I got a lunch date, and she helped us with folding laundry, something I never get to! Ben really enjoyed floor time over the weekend.
Sadie even guards Ben!
He is now closer and closer to sitting up on his own - should be soon!
And if I thought he couldn't get more adorable, he proved me wrong!
He even sticks out his tongue while playing. My mom says that is just like his Opa Peter!
Ben and Sadie continue to bond, she guards him - sometimes even from Perry!
