Is there nothing this child can't do?

Ethan is still sick as you can see in those beautiful pictures above, but wait until you hear this!  While we were cleaning everything under the sun in the house to keep germs at bay, Ethan was helping me with the laundry.  His job is to make sure none of it falls out as we travel from the basement to the living room.  Ethan makes a great laundry weight!  He was still sitting in the basket while I was folding clothes and then I saw it.  Ethan pulled himself up into a standing position!!!!  THREE times!  He thought it was pretty fun and I was so astounded I couldn't move.  I was surprised the basket didn't fall over either.  I tried to catch it on video, but he has not done it since.  What a wonderful sick day at home!

Ethan is officially sick

Ethan went to the doctor today and he most likely has pneumonia.  We are still waiting for the doctor to call us back and confirm his diagnosis. The poor kid has a fever, a constant runny nose and eyes, and an unproductive cough.  Ethan is now on antibiotics, a nebulizer (which is a panda-cute) and Tylenol.  Through all of this he is a happy guy.  Ethan wants to play, laugh and smile.  It's just a little pathetic as he looks so sick.  I am just so happy this sickness is not getting him down.  He seems, so far, to be sleeping well.  We'll see if it lasts! 

I also think Ethan is a little bummed not to be at school this week.  He missed most of beach week and could not where his cool outfit he received from Grandpa Rick and Auntie Carolyn.  The pink flamingos are at school waiting for him...

My sick little man

Ethan is a trouper these last couple of days.  He has had a fever, been sick, has a runny nose, a stuffed nose and through all of this has remained fairly happy.  He took a 2 hour nap then an hour and a half later took a hour and a half nap.  This from a baby who naps less than 2 hours a day.  Ethan seems to be feeling better as of late, and we hope this tend continues.  It's not fun to be sick!  

Ethan is thankful for Grandpa Bob who put up with the constant runny nose all day!! He is also looking forward to having some more Daddy time tomorrow before he goes to work. And who wouldn't be excited to hang out with Grandma Dinky this Saturday while Mom and Dad go play games with some friends.  Life is so very busy for a Little Man!

What a big man!

I am amazed at how old he looks in these photos!  With his sleeves all rolled up, he is a 7 month old young man!  Daddy you did good!

Happy 7 Month Birthday Ethan!!

Ethan is lost in thought about what all this means... Happy seven month Birthday anyway Ethan!! We love you very much!!!! :)
