Another Sick Day

Will's blazing hot fever from Sunday got him a sick day home with his Mama on Monday. The fever broke overnight, but we decided to keep him home anyway to catch up on his sleep. There would be none of that! One hour after lunch. That's it. The rest of the day he was racing from toy to toy and room to room - stopping only long enough to climb the stairs or scream or cry. That's right; he wasn't always smiling and cute.

Ornery looking baby

This picture from last week captures some of the attitude!

We feel like it has to be teething because we can see/feel those four monster molars breaking through (bottom right is out) and his chin and shirt are covered in drool. And he has no other signs of illness to go with the fever. His pacifier is his best coping mechanism and that has left him with little pimples on his lips and chin due to the moisture. He hasn't been a very good eater the past few days (and meal times are high drama), but he's been draining his cups of cold milk. So, we're giving him a little more of that than usual. Water wasn't interesting him, so I gave him some fruit punch Pedialyte. He must have thought it was interesting and drank a cup over the course of an hour or so.

This is Rachel after Will went to bed. She's really showing how we all feel after our day at home!
