Eight months old!!!

Mitchell is 8 whole months old today! I'm staying home from work with him to celebrate. Ha - just kidding. I am staying home from work with him, but only because he's sick :( He got sent home early the last TWO days in a row due to a low grade fever. I think it's a germy souvenier from Chicago. We have a doctor's appt later today, but I'm guessing it's just a cold that will have to pass. Yes, I know what you're thinking....he doesn't look too miserable in the pictures! He is still a pretty happy baby, just a low fever and some congestion.

Our daycare policy is super strict! His low grade fever was a 99.3, so 7/10th above normal. Between his sick days and our vacations, I sometimes wonder why we bother with daycare! Ugh!

I'm enjoying my day with him though! He is pulling up all over the house and has become a fan of stairclimbing. My Dad is going to take him on a walk later this afternoon so I can get a few things done for work and prep for class tonight.

8 months old - hard to believe. It was so great seeing him in person the other day. And, I agree he doesn't look sick :). I got the same lecture today at daycare - they think he has an ear infection, but they've been wrong the last 2 times, so I'm holding strong. Have a good day "off".

I caught that same cold in Chicago this weekend - and I can't blame mine on teething. But, my mom didn't come pick me up, so I had to work all day. :-( Darn, darn those tax deadlines! But, I'm home now and headed to bed. Maybe when I wake up I'll be breathing clearly! I wonder if I'll dream about Crockett and Tubbs now. . .
