Crash!

While Carson was taking a nap yesterday, Collin pulled himself up to the couch where I was sitting talking on the phone with Brett. He stood there for awhile and then decided he was ready to get back down....only he didn't do it so carefully. He fell pretty hard onto Carson's wooden wagon full of blocks. Poor little guy. He now has a nasty bruise on his forehead.

Sick Boys

The boys in our house have been far from healthy the past two weeks. Carson came down with a cough first and was tested for RSV and diagnosed with croup. He continued to get worse and spiked a fever but Dr. Becker did blood work and said it was strictly viral. That same day we had blood work done on Collin and it came back as being viral also. Carson came through his okay with nothing left but a nasty cough. Collin, on the other hand, took a turn for the worse. He had a great day at daycare Monday but the last hour he was there he started coughing more. Jill suggested I give him a treatment when I got home. I did that and noticed a "wheezing" sound and he had a fever so I ran him into Urgent Care. Dr. Rodgers admitted him to the hospital so they could monitor him overnight. He has an ear infection in his right ear and test results came back positive for RSV. He did not require any oxygen but he had to have treatments every 4 hours. Brett left early Monday morning for Missouri so Grandma Betty came up (again) to help with Carson and keep Collin and I company while he was at preschool. We were released 24 hours later and he is doing pretty well, other than some rattling in his chest and he gets very crabby when he is tired. I haven't quite figured out how to get him to sleep easily either! Grandma Carol took Carson for a few nights so Collin and I could catch up on our sleep. I bet he is enjoying being spoiled!

New Thing

Here is a short video of Collin's newest thing to do.

Collin is Crawling!!

Collin turned 8 months old today and he celebrated by mastering crawling yesterday! He's already getting into things! He now weighs 15lbs 12oz. He loves to eat baby food and recently had his first bite of ice cream. We never would have done that with Carson!!
