I was trying to eat a sandwich and Austin was throwing a fit. I threw a piece of my crust at Charlie and he caught it in his mouth. Austin immediately quit crying and switched to giggling. So, I kept throwing crust at Charlie so I could eat in peace. Then I thought I should go get the video camera. Here's Austin getting a kick out of Charlie catching food.

Popsy and Mimi's visit

My dad and Melody came to visit about a week and a half ago. We had a good time while they were here. There were multiple trips to Publix for Wheatables (of course), and they got to enjoy some Chick-fil-a and Mori House. Everybody worked on getting their guns "freakishly large" at Bodyplex. We went to the mall on Friday and Oldman got Nano Vapor for 50 cents (it was about to expire). He spent the rest of the weekend talking about needing to "clean out" the other GNCs. He said he was willing to have all their Nano Vapor shipped back to Vermont. Oldman got to drink margaritas and heckle me at my tennis match Friday evening. We ALMOST won... well, we were winning at first. The weather was really nice on Saturday, so we cooked out and had turkey burgers.

Popsy hadn't seen Austin since January and Melody hadn't seen him since November. They were pretty excited to see him and refused to put him down. They'd only hand him over to me so I could feed him. I think I only changed like one diaper while they were here. It was nice to get a break.

Sleeping through the night like a big boy

This cute little guy slept through the night on Monday for the first time. He slept for almost 12 hours straight. It was amazing. I woke up twice to go check on him, though...

Also, Austin is now saying "da da". He doesn't mean anything when he says it. He just likes to say it, over and over again.

Updates

Last Friday evening I realized that Austin was running a little bit of a fever. I gave him some tylenol and put him to bed. He kept waking up every hour or two, so I knew he wasn't feeling very well. I've called the doctor before about him running a fever and they just went through a list of things to look for. He really didn't have any symptoms other than the fever. At about 4:30 am I took his temperature again, because I could tell he was burning up. His temperature was 103. Kennen and I got scared and decided to take him to the emergency room. After two hours and $150 later we found out he might have a cold. I don't regret taking him to the ER, though. He was really cranky the next day and even after giving him tylenol every 4 hours he was still running a fever. I would have just worried all weekend if we hadn't taken him. Poor little guy was not himself. I don't think he smiled once on Saturday and he wouldn't eat any baby food. It's really draining taking care of a sick infant. It made me really grateful that I have an otherwise healthy little boy.
