On Friday, my mom, Landon and I travelled to Chicago to spend time with my sister and her family, my grandparents, and my aunts, uncles and cousins. I was a little worried about flying with Landon but he was a champ. Our flight even boarded late leaving the Cities, but Landon occupied himself by walking back and forth on the moving walkway in front of our gate several times.
On Sunday, we joined Greg, Nicole, Charlotte and extended family at church for Eli's dedication. I should have kept Landon in the nursery during the actual dedication because he was very squirmy and was not content just being held, but still not as bad as what Charlotte did (I'll let my sister explain in her blog!).Sunday after church we had a baby shower for my cousin, Sarah (sorry, no pictures here).
Monday and Tuesday was filled with lots of play time with Eli, Charlotte, and Abby as I tried to work on Landon's scrapbook. One of the most popular activities was jumping on the air matresses and then climbing up them like Spiderman. Weather was even nice enough that we walked for ice cream. Landon thoroughly enjoyed his first ice cream cone!
Before leaving Chicago on Wednesday, we got to meet new baby, Lila Belle. Isn't she adorable? 
Thursday was Landon's first swim class. He loved it! Well worth the money!
And now, apparently, our week was filled with too much activity. Picture above could be titled, "This is What Sick Looks Like." Landon woke up an hour later than usual with a slight fever (101.8) this morning and a runny nose. After giving him Motrin, the fever went up to 102.2. Went to the doctor only to be told it wasn't an ear infection or anything viral or bacterial. After Landon got up from his 3 hour nap (skipped lunch), his fever was at 104. Called the nurse line and dispensed another dose of Motrin. Ninety minutes later the temp only dropped 3/10 of a degree. Through in a couple of diapers of the very loose kind, shallow breathing, and an overall lethargic kid, I was to the point where we were going to drive to the ER. I called the nurse line again and was able to talk to the on-call doctor. After giving Landon a dose of Tylenol and watching him devour 4 chicken nuggets, he is now sleeping and his fever dropped back to 101.8.
It will be interesting to see what this upcoming week is like as Landon and I go back to work. I'm sure he will be out of sorts on Monday (as will I), but will be raring to go by Tuesday - or at least that's what I'm hoping for.
