In sickness or health
There is nothing like being sick to help you appreciate health once more. This time it was Theo who was sick. This week he woke up one morning with a fever. The second day of the fever and inconsolable crying I finally took him in which is sooner than I normally would have but since I could not get him to stop crying the nurse suggested I should I have him checked. They found blisters in his throat and he measured 104 at the doctor's office. She said it was a virus but if the fever was still high on Saturday I should come in again. Well, the fever only got worse and by Friday 11pm it was measuring 105.8 under his arm and 107 on his forehead. He had also been throwing up for several days. Based on all of that information the pediatric advice over the phone wanted me to take him to the ER at midnight. There was no new diagnosis, but at least the doctor confirmed that he wasn't dehydrated and was just a very sick little boy.
Yesterday it was down to 102.8 and finally this morning only 101.8. I have hope tomorrow will be even better.
It was such a hard week having a baby that would cry whether you held him or not. He wouldn't eat, didn't want his milk most of the time, and was just completely miserable. Not to mention his parents were completely exhausted. Even though he's not better yet it's so nice to at least see him standing up once again and even smiling here or there. I know a lot of people were praying for him. Thank you so much. It helps you get through those rough moments.

Heritage Park Cerritos
Ever since I went there last year I've had the desire to go back to Heritage Park and take pictures of my kids. I tried today, but it was incredibly challenging without another adult to help me with the baby. The ones I took of all three kids didn't turn out because Theo would NOT sit still on Rebecca's lap.
I've had a secret desire to learn to become a good portrait photographer. I know it's going to take time, and all I can do right now is learn from books, but hopefully someday I can start understanding the physics behind it all and learn to take good pictures. I just hope I learn before my kids are too big! Right now I'm doing everything on automatic, and I want to learn how to use my camera properly. We'll get there eventually, right?!

Rub-a-dub-dub...
a cutie in a tub...
Oooo, I just love those chubby little baby fingers!
Theo's words as of 14 months:
mama
dadee
doggie
ball
baba (bottle or drink)
pee-pee-boo (peek-a-boo)
cracker (basically pronounced:cr-ckr in the throat)
he has a word for diaper but it's hard to understand, but he has repeated it several times
We love this kid!
