If it weren't for the scary red eye the above picture would be good! Oh well. We're closing another crazy week at the Gotlieb household. Ben is sick, still and/or again, I don't know which since he never seems to get better before another cold piles on. After telling a neighbor my motto this winter is "Wait it out", I promptly took Ben to the doctor this morning :) haha...well, to give myself credit, I WAS going to wait on this illness before handing over my $20 for them to sing the song doctors love, "Viiiiiraaaalllll...tra-la-la" but Eric got Ben up this morning and even he said I should take him to the doctor. Now that NEVER happens, and I know you other mommies are with me on this one with dear old dad always thinking we're psycho for rushing to the doctor at every whimper! His ears and lungs were clear but they gave me an antibiotic to treat for a "sinus infection". Hooray! The mother's stamp of approval: ANTIBIOTICS - also known as "See honey, I'm NOT crazy...they gave me medicine!"
So this is likely the last pictures you'll see of Seth for a couple weeks. He's starting to get baby acne as all my kids do at this age and they look horrible! Ben was ecstatic for me to put together Seth's bouncy chair - easy access to pummeling Seth now :) He does swat at him now and then but mostly is still overjoyed when I tell him he can hold Seth. He sits right down, reaches his arms up, and tries to grab him like a sack of potatoes. It's rather comical.
Ben is improving his speech SO much week to week that I don't think they refer to him as delayed anymore. We'll hold on to Denise as long as we can though. It's secretly mom's idea of an "activity" and Ben basks in the one-on-one attention which he doesn't get much of these days. He's using 2 and 3 words now and sometimes sentences, "I want apple too!" He can generally get his point across CLEARLY which is great for all involved. Hooray!
FLOOR UPDATE: It took me over an hour to scrub the food off my dining room floor, but at last, it's clean! One down, 2 more and a hallway to go!
