Back to the Grind?

Well, today has not been the best day. Let's work backwards. It ends with me staying up way too late with an awake baby and way too much to do (laundry, cleaning, studying, etc.). Just before that the Vikings threw away a chance at the superbowl. This afternoon I was sick with a (thankfully) short stomach bug. It started (and continued) with a fussy fussy baby all day long. We have no idea what has gotten into our little one. It has been 3 days since his 2 month shots that he didn't seem to have any reaction to earlier. He's been drooling, chewing, and has a low grade fever. We think maybe teething? But we hope not and it's a little early. Needless to say, the Sunday to do list did not even get started- and we didn't make it to church either. Alas.

In better news, Keaton is almost always the most fun-loving, adaptable, sweet baby ever. His latest is a love for the jumperoo- but he is only able to spend a few minutes in there before tuckering out. He has been interacting much more with toys but hasn't yet purposefully reached or grabbed for them. I swear he burns more calories than Dan and I combined- he can sit and bounce in his bouncer kicking and talking for hours! He's eating anywhere from 4 to 8 ounces each feeding but Friday he weighed in at 12 lbs 15 oz (50%) and measured 24 inches long (50%). I guess he is right on track.

Here are some pictures from the last month:
