Speak Of The Devil

And...............We're sick. How ironic...

We had a fun Sunday night with family and friends. We ran our errands on Monday including a Dr. appt. (6 mos.) for Phoenix. Phoenix was congested for his appt. which worked out. The dr. said not to worry about it as long as his appetite keeps up. Phoenix is now at the 95th percentile for height. Since birth he went up slightly and has now plateaued in the mid 90's. He is now 19 pounds and at the 75th percentile for weight. So, he has been burning some calories because he started at 97, then 87, and now 75. His height is holding strong though and the dr. is AMAZED that he is sitting up and crawling all over. Sunday night Phoenix stood up for the first time also. I was sitting Indian style on the floor and he grabbed my knee and used it to stand up. The dr. said he's seen babies crawl at 6 mos. but only just the tiny ones. These big babies are usually lazy, let's face it. I was thinking the same thing. Phoenix is not fat though, he's just big. The dr. couldn't stop talking about how he was crawling and all that already. It was such a proud moment for me as a parent, as if I had something to do with it...

So, I have caught the cold from Phoenix. Phoenix had a cold and fever we think was from shots and even a possibility of Rosiola. He has a rash on his body and according to my sister, he is not contagious anymore (that's what the rash means) I guess it's this viral infection or something. Now, Marcelus has a high fever and refused food for quite a while today, then finally asked for a waffle. Then, I made it and he wouldn't eat it. Finally he took about 5 bites that I had to spoon feed him and he conked out AGAIN. He's been sleeping all day and totally out of it. He does want to be held all the time and that's been hard because of Phoenix needing his mommy too. Marce was kind of a brat yesterday so it's kind of nice he's sick actually. I had to threaten him way too many times when he would touch "my tree". Last year I had to re-decorate the tree 3 times because of him. EDEN! Last year she taught him it was fun to take the ornaments off the tree...ha ha. Anyway, so my sister's theory of the Rosiola will prove right if Marce breaks out in a rash soon. Sharrid is the only one who has steered clear of anything so far. I feel fine. I don't mind colds at all as long as there's no pain (sore throat).

Phoenix goes back in a month to receive the 2nd half of his shot session (They had to break it up because there were so many he needed, including the flu shot.) Then they'll see him back at 9 months and they said there would not be any shots at that appt. WooHoo! My baby is growing up so fast and I'm excited. When you have a big baby, it's just better for them to grow up,...they are so heavy. I can always have more...

By the way, again I'm sorry for no pics on the blog lately. I would post pics of my tree and stuff but I won't get my cameras til Christmas. I have missed them.
