Busy

We have been really busy over the past couple of weeks. My mom came to visit us last week, and we had a wonderful time. It was so nice to go out for lunch and eat something other than sandwiches. I think I should start getting out of the house more often. I think it was really good for Jackson and me to go out and about. Fred was in Indiana for a work trip the first half of the week my mom was here, so it was really nice to have some company.

Everyone in the Roberts' household has been under the weather. Jackson developed an ear infection a little more than two weeks ago and just finished his antibiotic this past Sunday. He still has a runny nose and cough, and he is not sleeping well at all! He has not been going to bed until after 10:00 P.M. and getting up during the night. On Tuesday night, he woke up every two hours! We are all exhausted. Fred had his wisdom teeth cut out last Thursday, and he is still experiencing some pain. Fred has never been one to take medication unless it is extremely necessary, and he is still taking Tylenol about three times per day. I went to the doctor on Saturday with a sore throat and pain in my ears. By the end of Saturday, my nose was also pouring; and I was sneezing a good bit. I finished my Z-pack yesterday, and I am feeling a good bit better.

Jackson started crawling last week and pulling up this week! I just look at him in amazement. Where did my baby go? He is now such a big boy and Mr. Independent. He has also started sleeping in footed pajamas. He had gotten a little too long his his sleep sack. I think he likes the pajamas because it is easier for him to move around and pull up.

I had hoped to make this post a little longer, but Jackson is fighting a nap as I type. I better try to get him settled down.
