It was nice while it lasted...

Jackson is sick again - this time with Hand, Food and Mouth Disease (sounds worse than it is). He has a fever, rash and some blisters in his throat. He's doing okay right now, but we had a pretty rough night last night! Just pray he continues to take fluids and all should be well. He made it two weeks without being sick, which is about the longest since the beginning of the year. He had tubes put in about two months ago and instead of being better than before, he's been sick numerous times. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but my poor little guy continues to catch everything, despite my best efforts.

So we're just relaxing at home watching Baby Einstein together and I thought I'd post some recent pictures.
As you can see, Jackson's hair is getting pretty long and shaggy. I'm just not ready to part with the curls yet, so I'm going to let it grow out for a bit yet. He is changing from my baby into a little boy more every day. He loves to drive his cars all over the house making cute little car noises. He also enjoys getting into anything he's not supposed to be! He's starting to catch on to stopping when we ask, but often smirks and continues on :) He is a cute stinker, that is for sure!

Here's a picture of Grace with her kitten, Edward (AKA: The Worlds Most Patient Kitten). Yes, they are on the Sit and Spin together!

We celebrated half birthdays for Grace and her cousin, Caleb about a week ago. Since their birthdays are so close to Christmas, we decided to do a half birthday party instead which worked out really nice. Grace was quite excited to get a princess scooter from Grandma and Grandpa(she's so excited she's hugging the box!) and matching helmet and knee pads from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Amy.

I just wanted to update this little blog (more for me and my memory's sake) while I had a minute. There are lots of things I should be doing right now, so I better get to them.

Laura- you aren't doing anything wrong! Hang in there... kids seem to go through sick spells! It's tough though, I know. The half-birthday idea seems great. Elaina, my youngest, was born December 15, so we had contemplated doing that once she gets older... we will see! Thanks for sharing the pictures of your beautiful family! Traci McKee (Kruithoff)
