Sick Boy

Alex has had somewhat of a rough week. On Monday Brandon and I took Alex with us to run a few errands. We were having a great time pushing Alex around in his stroller while browsing at Hobby Lobby. Suddenly, Alex started to gag and the next thing we know he is throwing up all of himself and the stroller. I bent down to help him and saw what the problem was. He had the strap from his stroller deep in his throat and had gagged himself. We spent the next half an hour cleaning him and his stroller in the bathroom. Of course this was the one time I hadn't packed any extra clothes so we had to take Alex out to the car in just a diaper. We had planned to go other places but this was the end of our shopping trip.

Alex has also been teething for what seems like a few weeks now. Most of the time he is fine but sometimes he acts like they are really hurting him. This week he seemed to reach the peak of his pain. On Tuesday he had a temperature of 102 for the first half of the day. This made him very lethargic and sleepy. I was very sad he was sick but secretly loved the extra cuddle time.

He even laid on the couch most of the morning and watched cartoons. For a boy who never holds still this was pretty amazing.

Half asleep...

Luckily, this only lasted half the day and by the afternoon he was back to his old self.
