We Are Sick People.....Physically!

Dave here. I stayed home from work yesterday, Alex had several big coughing spells last night. At one point, I think the baby monitor almost blew up from the loud coughs coming through. I stayed home yesterday because I just felt very weak. I had a stuffed-up head, but nothing that would have normally kept me from work. I just felt really weak, so I did some work from home and I was able to rest a lot more than I would have had I gone to work. It's all Esther's fault, she's the one that had the cold first and then gave it to Alex, and now it's my turn. I am back at work today though, although I still feel a little weak.

We also put together a new toy for Alex today. Jodi Feather got us an Activity Zone, or as Esther loves to call it, centro de actividades. We felt Alex is strong enough now, not to mention curious enough, to use it. Of course I had to get the camera out to document the whole thing.


When we first put him in, he lunged forward and conked his head on the big bar. That did not seem to deter him. He really liked it. The bottom of it makes funny noises when he kicks it or pushes really hard with his feet. He's not quite tall enough yet to do that consistently so I don't think he knows he's the one doing it.


Anyway, we enjoyed seeing him play with this....as you can see in the pictures he loved the spinning ball.
