Kellan's Sick Days

Poor Kellan.  He was sick and had to stay home for four days to recover.  He had an ear infection, a bug from school and he was cutting his front two teeth.  All three together made for one cranky, uncomfortable and feverish child.  This, all just days before we were due to leave for our Hamilton Family Vacation 2011.  Mommy and Daddy took turns staying home with him and we made it through.  By Friday he was great and headed back to school, just in time to take a week away for vacation.  He did have a few cute moments that I took photos of.

I was trying to capture the dramatic way in which Kellan was sitting, but it doesn't come through on the photo.  He was leaning forward on both elbows.  It was if it took eery ounce of effort to hold himself up right to eat the puffs.

Such concentration, much like his older brother, Oliver.

Kellan started crawling a few weeks back and he has finally figured out how to get where he wants and get into what he wants.  He has even discovered how to open the door to the DVD cupboard and pull a few out.

"Come on, Mom.  How about some Aristocats?"
Look at me, standing all by myself.

Madalyn even came around to check us out.  She will be 16 years old in August.

Even though Kellan was home sick, he would have bursts of energy that needed released.

We are so glad that he has passed his sick stage and hopefully he is well on the mend.  We didn't know for sure that he was teething, but we were confident.  On Saturday morning, it was confirmed.  Both of his bottom teeth were poking through.  His bottom right was the first out and the bottom left was just behind it as far as progress goes.
