Gearing up for Summer!

The last couple weeks we've had some really nice days! Denver of course loves these days as we usually spend a lot of time outside and he couldn't be happier to be outside! For Christmas we got Denver a tee ball set. We showed him a little bit how it worked, but then just left it alone as it wasn't really something for the house. One day I noticed he knew exactly what to do with it and was really pretty good at it for not even being 1 1/2 yet! It's out in the garage now and he LOVES playing with it.

He's too fast all the ones of him swinging were blurry and I was too lazy to go get my good camera!

How about this ball? Will this work?

Denver still LOVES to swing! Running around enjoying the sun!

Daddy's picture taking skills one evening!

Yes, I guess 6lbs 1 oz didn't scare me enough...that's a bowl of ice cream in my hand that Denver's eating...we continue to have a bowl almost every night!

We had our first bout of the stomach flu with Denver a little over a week ago. Thank goodness it happened on my weekend off from work. On a Friday Denver was not acting himself and not really wanting to eat, but we didn't have a clue of what we were in for! The next morning when I went to get him from his bed we found that he had thrown up during the night and just switched ends of his bed so he didn't lay in it! He was starving and wanted to eat and I thought maybe it was just a fluke and let him have some oatmeal and juice, but that came up later (in the car...all over him, his car seat, and the car....YUCK, and I was by myself! We tried getting a hold of Daddy at work, but couldn't). The rest of the day he didn't eat or drink much, but what he did stayed down. I thought we were maybe over it, but then he had diarrhea before he went to bed that night and then woke up and threw up 3 times that night. The next morning he had an even worse diaper, but that was basically the end of it then! He had a couple more pretty loose diapers a day or 2 later, but then it was over! We are thankful that he's feeling better and eating good again. The little guy can't afford days of not eating or keeping his food down! Here is a picture of him one morning when he wasn't feeling the hottest.
