Sickies!

Jace
The sickness carried on throughout the week, and after running a fever for 3 days, mama took us to the Dr. I was complaining that my right ear hurt and Bella kept pulling on hers, but it turned out that we just had nasty colds. I was excited to see my doctor, Dr. Marshak. When the nurse took us down the hall to weigh us, I saw him walk by. I said, "Hey Marshak, what you doing?" He said hi and came in our exam room a few minutes later. Then I asked him "Are you going to be a Dr someday"? Mama reminded me that he is a Dr and then I told him that I was going to be a firefighter someday when I get bigger. Mama got Bella undressed for the Dr to check her out, and I told the Dr that she has little "nibbles" like me and daddy, but mama feeds Bella with hers and hers are a little bit big! I missed my last swim class because I was sick, but they called and said that I still passed. Saturday was Valentine's day and mama made us heart shaped waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, they were delicious! I got two new puzzles and Bella got a red monkey. Daddy and mama put the floor down in my playroom, I had fun watching. We were still sick on Sunday so we didn't go to church, but the weather was nice so we worked outside. I found a big mud puddle to jump in on the way to get the mail and I got a Valentine. Mama worked on Monday and we went to papa and grandma's house. We built legos and I sang Jesus loves me and Mr Sun to try to get the sunshine to come out before nap but it didn't work. We played outside in the sunshine again on Tuesday with mama and I gave Bella a ride on my four wheeler, she laughed the whole time.

Despite my nasty cough and runny nose, I am still very happy. I think Dr Marshak thought mama was silly for bringing me in because I was so smiley and happy. All four of my top front teeth are through now, but I still bite mama while I'm nursing sometimes. I will eat anything mama makes for me now. I even got to try strawberry yogurt that she made me on Valentine's day. I pull myself up to everything now and even take a few steps while holding on to my walking toys. I had fun at grandma's, I found some beads and I twirled them around a lot. I also went all over the place in the walker.  I spent more time outside in the stroller and just crawling on the patio on Tuesday. I really enjoyed my four wheeler ride with Jace!
