And one and two

....and exersaucer time. Yep, 4 months old and we are moving on to new things. Sitting up some with help, grabbing toys and objects, standing up more and more when on our laps, and now some independent play. This kid has got to be almost 20 pounds so I would bet a new car seat is coming very soon. I can barely lift the infant carrier with him in it. He has baby rolls on top of rolls which came in handy this week with the family being sick.

Seems everyone had the flu or some variation and it was a really tough week for all of us. Ethan had it the worst but when he can't sleep, neither can the rest of us. And poor Jason was fussy and really off his food although didn't really catch some of the other symptoms thanks to whatever immune system he managed to get from me. I was sick for 2 days but mostly just totally overwhelmed and tired beyond belief. It is so heart wrenching when they are sick and you are so helpless to do anything. But this past weekend they were feeling better and we took the kids to Pullen Park in Raleigh. See Ethan's blog for some pics of the day.
