We all survived- just barely!

Well Wade has successfully made it through his first illness. He had some type of virus which gave him almost 104 temp (103.8 to be exact). 2 days in a row. This caused him to sleep during short little bursts all around the clock. Of course, he could only sleep if being held by Mom or Dad or sleeping next to or on Mom or Dad. Mom and Dad were suddenly very exhausted... Thank goodness Dad took 2 days off of work. After about a day of a screaming baby I was at my wits end! After the fever went away, he developed a million little fever blisters all over in his mouth! Poor guy was starving and exhausted and hurting. He even boycotted nursing for 4 days. On the the 5th day we finally got him to take a bottle and slowly he's started nursing again.
However, lucky me, think I may have caught the virus now too...

If you're keeping count, we are now up to 5 teeth. The two on the top make him look a little vampire-like:

This is what I can do with my new teeth. See? No hands!
Sometimes I like to attack my Mom & Dad!!
Still not a fan of being on my belly for too long, however I am now able to turn myself 360 degrees and am starting to be more comfortable on my knees. I can also pull myself up to my knees and feet while I'm sitting. I think I may be mobile in multiple ways all at once!
