We haven't done much at all this week. Poor Ian's been sick. Not enough to say he's really sick but a fever one day, throwing up another, a little rash that just isn't going away, cranky and clingy. I took him for his 9 month checkup yesterday and just like I suspected, it's a virus and we just have to wait it out.
His checkup went really well. He's grown so much in the past couple months that none of the nurses could believe it. We had all of them in there marvelling at how big he is. They all still remember the days when we were praying he'd gain 4oz in a week. He was 19lb 10oz and 27.5 inches long.
He is growing up in so many ways. This week he's gotten better army crawling all over the place. He's been going for the buttons on the dvd player and anything that Alison leaves on the floor. We've been warning her for months that this day would come and now that it's here she's scrambling around to get stuff away from him. This of course does not set well with Ian who works so very hard to get something only to have sis come and take it away.
Alison has been keeping herself busy this week while Ian is attached to me. She's been outside to play almost every day. She brings me handfuls of dandelions each day so we always have fresh flowers in the house, lol. She has found a little seedling growing in the yard and waters it and checks on it every time she goes outside. She made sure to show daddy where it is so he doesn't mow it. I sure hope he remembers.
We got a book about edible plants from the library. Alison was amazed that the violets that are all over our yard can be eaten. She hasn't been brave enough to try one yet. We'll have to try at least one.
Alison had great fun with grandma and grandpa Thursday. Dan was working and I was meeting some of my longtime friends for dinner so Alison had a playdate. Grandpa took her for a scooter ride and she helped grandma mark her plants with decorative stakes.
