Hand-foot-mouth disease

Poor Bradley has spent the past 2 weeks or so battling hand-foot-mouth disease. It's pretty common among kids in daycare because it's very contagious. He had a high fever, sores in his mouth and a rash on his chest. The disease was a little funny because he got sick for a few days, then seemed fine for a week but then it came back with a vengenance for another week. After missing way too many days of school, we're very thankful that he's feeling much better!

Running out of things to play with in our house

 

Still able to eat, before the rash spread into his mouth

While Bradley was sick, I also had my wisdom teeth extracted. Poor Adam had to deal with 2 patients.

 

Is that Bradley or Linus?

16 Months Old

Bradley is 16 months old now! Probably the biggest changes lately are that he's talking nonstop, saying some words, trying to repeat what we're saying and of course lots of gibberish :)

As usual, he loves playing in the kitchen

 

His first thunderstorm. He had no idea what was happening...just kept pointing to the sky saying "mama, mama"

 

His new bean bag chair. Very comfy!

 

Bye bye Mickey

 

able to throw 2 balls at once now

 

It's not all good times over here

 

To avoid some bumps and bruises, we traded in our coffee table for an ottoman. Bradley is helping daddy screw on the legs

 

Serious bedhead. Now it's really time for a haircut

 

Ready to play daddy's xbox with Grandpa

 

Ouchie at daycare. That bookcase came out of nowhere!

 

Saturday breakfast is the best

I took a short trip to the East Coast to visit some friends this past weekend. I missed my boys a lot but it was a great time with many friends I don't see often enough. Here's Laura with the lovely Sierra

 

And I always need some Heather in my life!

 

And sooo nice to see such great Yale friends!
