Well a lot has happened in the last week and a half. I went back to work last Monday. That was a difficult day to say the least, many tears on my part. Bill went to check on Garrett every day at lunch. He will be taking him and picking him up each day since it is close to his work. Garrett did great though; he had fun playing in the bouncer and even got to sit in the jumper. Bill said that he just smiled and had a lot of fun standing on his own; he has not yet realized that he can jump yet. The teachers even sent home a note the first couple of days saying how good he was. Most of the time he just slept and ate. Overall, the week went well. It will take some time to get back into the swing of things at work, but it will come.

This week has been a wonderful experience...not. Friday afternoon I came home with a sore throat. Saturday morning I had a horrible cough and sounded like a man. I was officially sick. I went to a walk in clinic, because I knew it would get worse quick. Thankfully I started some medicine on Sunday, but it has yet to start to work. Garrett has a nice runny nose and is now coughing. Have you ever taken care of a sick baby? It is not fun. There is not much you can do but we are trying everything that we have read. On Monday, Bill ended up with a sore throat and by that night he had a bad cough. Needless to say we have all been home sick all week. Hopefully we will be better by Friday, because we have tickets to go see the Broadway show, Moving Out. Anyways, we have been spending some quality time coughing, sitting up late at night with Garrett and using the entire tissue stock that we had in our house. Wish us luck in getting better.

Oh here are some pictures that we took before Garrett got sick. He had a lot of fun playing with his new activity center. He gets more and more fun each day, with smiles and his attention to the toys in front of him. He even watched his Little Einstein video today and he loved it.
