Feelin' much better

Sydney is over her 2nd round of roseola. She had it first over Memorial Day weekend (remember, Jeff went to play v-ball in the Big Easy & I was alone with a sick baby for 5 days over a holiday weekend-yeah) "But isn't roseola like the chicken pox, you only get it once" you say? Oh, I thought so, but apparently not, and there are different strands of the highly contagious virus that are like a magnet to my 7 month old. I don't know how many strands of roseola there are out there, but there are two we are definitely not getting again! I keep telling myself that she's really building up her immune system everytime she gets a fever.

Here she is feeling much better. You can see the rash all over her body, but by the time it showed up she wasn't fevered or contagious. The rash is benign, so she didn't even know it was there. The only person it bothered was Mommy.

Her new thing when she gets excited is to stiffen up her whole body, make fists real tight, and make the loudest noise possible. Here she is expressing her excitement over a new diaper.We went to St Louis to visit the fam this past weekend. Saturday morning Trevor joined us in our room, where he found mommy's laundry baskets. Sharin' some love w/ Uncle RyanAnd some more love to Aunt MeghanShe's started to become more interested in feeding herself, but she's just not that coordinated yet. She wanted to pick up the banana, but it was just to slippery. I held it for her & she ate it like a big girl instead of all mashed up in a bowl w/a spoon. She doesn't have teeth, so she just gums it up until all that is left is banana mush all over my fingers.Happy 2nd Birthday, Trevor!

Here he is enjoying his cake. However, he liked it better from the #2 candle instead of with a spoon, or a fork, or even his fingers.Sydney loves to help Mommy brush her teeth. Its a Sonicare, so she probably likes the vibrations & the noise it makes. She goes right for it every time & lights up as soon as I turn it on.(She's wearing her Chief's outfit here, again, because Jeff had fantasy football draft night & he thought she would bring him good luck)
