On the mend - at least Daddy is

Daddy had another day of sick leave. We determined last night that he probably has a strep throat and the flu. So, more Cipro for him and a whole lot of fluids and ibuprofen. After a full night's sleep (close to 11 hours), he's feeling more like himself, but not recovered.

Cam and Mommy had a quiet day at the Baby House. He ate his breakfast fairly quickly and we played indoors. He's coming down with another cold (congested nose and chest again) and they don't want him outside. After a while we went downstairs and played on the blanket with our travel partners and their baby. The babies in our room were crying their heads off. There's quite a diaper rash outbreak (probably due to the antibiotics) and today was the day that they put the red goop on them - which apparently is very painful. It bothered Mommy so much that she interrupted Cam's play for a hug. Then, the lady who does the injections came in and we knew there'd be much more wailing, so we decided to escape downstairs.



Working on crawling. He doesn't crawl, per se, but he does an inch worm move that gets him where he's going. He especially likes standing up and bouncing.





Attacking the ball! He chased it around all morning. As soon as he was close and could touch it, it would roll away (b/c he unintentionally pushed it). There were squeals of "Come back here" - I could just tell that's what he was telling it. At long last, he conquered the ball and did his best to try to get it in his mouth to ail his aching gums. New teeth are tough. (Note: the tear on his face is not a result of unhappiness, his eyes are drippy with the cold he's got).
