Our house has been plagued with cooties. Not the little kind that give you a runny nose and cause a minor annoyance, but the kind that leave you hacking, snuffling and unable to breath. I blame it all on Frank since he started this party over 2 weeks ago with a nasty bug that turned into pneumonia. Liam and I stayed FAR away from him and I thought we had made it by without catching those darn cooties until last Thursday when I realized that our luck had run out. Needless to say, I have missed 2 more days of work (which I'm sure I'll hear about when I go back!) Liam has been to the doctor twice and I have been once, I have slept no more than 2 hours straight since last Thursday AND Liam has no appetite and we struggle to keep enough fluids in him. Aaahhh....too much stress. So I officially declare this March to have been the suckyest (is that even a word?) month of 2009. We are done with our sucky month and have only good ones left. That's the way it works, right? Liam did learn a new skill though, this last Sunday he decided to finally roll all the way over from his back to tummy. He's been rolling up on his side for about a month so now he can go all the way over. He also loves to scoot, mostly backwards, all over his play mat, and has decided it's fun to tuck his knees up under his body and assume the crawling pose! Holy cow, not yet Boy! Our doctor was funny because she kept asking how old he was and said that he was "physically and socially at 7 months development". I know, I'm bragging but what else is a Mommy supposed to do. Here are some pictures of our little booger. I was hoping to catch one with a snot bubble but Liam won't make one on command. Those snot bubbles are pretty spectacular though, spectacularly gross!
PS To the Haring Family...I hope it wasn't us that made you sick! We're so sorry if it was. Next time we will try to restrain our cooties! :-)

I feel your pain. It is very difficult to be a good nurse at home when you are sick yourself. We lived on Gatorade and (some)take-out last week. I kept Kleenex in business too...it is the real reason for the term "March Madness." It should be "Moms going Mad in March." Hope L-man is doing better. Mommy too.
Where's the pictures Frank?
Ummm, I think you can quit blaming Frank for the cooties. Everett is STILL sick after a week and a half. Aaron and I got his cold last weekend. Ev's cold relapsed on Tuesday and he's still got a mean cough. In my opinion, you got the cooties from my house. So sorry! I totally think Liam is advanced. Ev didn't roll over until 5 months, now he is almost 8 months old and has not figured out how get to his knees yet. Looks like an early crawler for you! Go get those baby gates!
