Roseola??

The past few days Chad has been kinda fussy, hasn't had much of an appetite and had a small fever yesterday. I just thought he was getting more teeth in maybe. Well, Chris had today off, so I went into work, and he called me and said Chad woke up with a rash all over his face, tummy and back. Poor little guy. So, it clicked, w/ all the fussyness, no eating, it sounded like he got some kinda virus. Well, today I had an appointment w/ my Dr., which is also Chad's Dr., so I thought, I'll just bring him w/ me, and have the Dr. take a look at him and see what she thinks it is. Right when she saw him she said it looked like a Viral rash, could either be Fifth Disease or Roseola. I'm pretty sure after research it's roseola, he never got the red cheeks like you get with the fifth disease, I remember Maddie had that at Chad's age. They say once they have the rash they are no longer contagious, I just hope Maddie doesn't get it next.

The next American Gladiator?

Doggy!

Chad learned a new word. DOGGY! It's soooooo cute. He started saying it on the
4th. Maddie has this little plastic dog, and Chad got a hold of it, and now it's his new best friend. He'll hold it, look at it and say "doggy". Then he'll try and bark, it's the cutest thing ever! I have it on video, I'll post it as soon as I upload it.

Happy 4th!

We had a fun day today. We didn't have our usual big party like we normally do. It was just us, my brother and Lisa, and her parents. It was such a pretty day. The kids had so much fun slip-n-sliding, we had yummy hot dogs, mac salad and deviled eggs, and a yummy cake my brother and Lisa brought over. Then we did fireworks. Chad was so tired because he only had his morning nap. I tried putting him down for his afternoon nap, but there was no way with everyone outside on the driveway. So he was a trooper and lasted until 9:30 p.m. Here are some pic's. I had to make 2 slideshows because there were too many pic's for one.

Chad's Birthday Party Pic's

Summertime Fun!

Chad's one year stats!

Today was Chad's one year check-up. I always hate taking him to the dr. because there's always shots involved, and today he had to get 5! He of course screamed his little lungs off, can't even think about it, I hated it! He weighs 23 lbs (50-75th percentile) and is 30.8 inches long (90th percentile). I thought he would for sure be in a higher percentile for his weight, but sounds to me like he's right around where he should be.

Chad's birthday party was a lot of fun. It was a bit cold because we had it under the tree's at the park, but was hot out on the playground. The kids had fun, and it was simple. I of course much prefer the parties at the house, but this was a nice change for once. And a lot less clean up! I will post pic's soon.
