Pryce - 6 months

Pryce continues to grow faster than we even realize. It's amazing how quickly he can make our day with a little giggle or grin --- we're so fortunate to have such a happy baby! He's basically a pro at eating now. We have gotten through the vegetables and are on to fruit. He hated squash, loved carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and even tolerated green peas! We did prunes last week (I figured it would be the worst of the fruits, so we did them first), and have determined that they will be on reserve should he ever needed them (we've cleaned up more poop than we could even imagine)! We're having a blast & are loving every minute!

Playing with Parker Allen

Our great friends Robbie, Stephanie, and Parker came through Chattanooga this weekend & stayed with us on Friday night. It was great to see them again (we last visited them around 6 weeks ago). Parker and Pryce had fun playing in the crib this morning together. We are so blessed with such great friends & are so glad they came to visit!!!!

Sick Baby

Around 2:30 am on Wednesday morning, I woke to feed Pryce & was really hot. Turned out I had a fever of 101.3. Luke and Pryce headed for the guest room, I took Tylenol & headed back to bed. The next morning I didn't have fever and felt fine, so I went ahead to work for a meeting that morning. I left after the meeting & went to the doctor. Tested negative for flu, and left with a prescription for some antibiotics to treat a viral infection. Pryce went to my mom's on Wednesday & Thursday, and he and Luke slept in the guest room both nights. Since I didn't have a fever on Thursday, things were back to normal. On 5:00 am Friday morning, Luke woke and discovered Pryce was burning up. He had a 101.3 fever. Mom and I took Pryce to the pediatrician's office at 10:30 (fever still high) where he tested positive for H1N1. We just couldn't believe it!!! For a 5 month old that doesn't go to daycare, is rarely out and about, and we're always so conscious of washing hands, etc. We sure could use some prayers!!!! Pryce hasn't had a fever since around 8:30pm Friday night. He's such a good baby.....smiling even when he's sick! We're praying he continues to make a speedy recovery!
