Everything about this week felt like Spring. I was home, the trees were budding, the birds were readying their new homes, and the weather was ideal. Leave to the Kirkpatrick's to have a more literal definition of Spring Fever. John Thomas had RSV all week. I'm not sure what "RSV" stands for but I'm thinking it could be: Really Scary Virus, Ridiculously Serious Virus, or Raging Super Virus. Either way, his fever actually got up to 105 on Wednesday. In virtual panic mode, I called everyone I thought might be able to help. After a dose of Tylenol and a lukewarm bath, his fever finally came down. I'm happy to report he's almost good as new, with one minor exception. All the snuggling and TLC he got this week has really changed his appetite for cuddling. He has ended up in our bed every morning for the last several days. As Jason would say, "we've got a high quality problem." :)
Of course all of his pictures this week are from the last two days. As you can tell from the picture below, come bath time/bedtime--he really wants to turn back the hands of time. I'm sure we're just so much fun, he never wants it to end.
I'm chalking this bottom picture up to an exaggerated camera angle. Otherwise, it looks like our baby boy is getting so big. At the end of his first week as a ten month old, John Thomas can wave and point (sometimes), he shimmies around on furniture, knows where every "off-limits" spot in our house is (especially the dog bowls, potted plants, electrical cords...), laughs all the time, loves snuggling with mama at 5:00 a.m., gets excited when his dad gets home from work, gives kisses upon request, will eat anything put in front of him, and has had four haircuts.
