Alex slept a little later today, but still wasn’t up to 100%. Wade entertained him with pinball: Then Alex took a four hour nap and was full of energy at tonight’s Small Group.

Today was my day off. Wade got up with Alex at 5:45 am (poor little guy isn’t sleeping well) and watched him most of the day. I worked out, ran to the grocery, and got my car washed. Then we took a family trip to Racine to visit Chick-fil-A. I got my favorite milkshake and…

We are driving back to Milwaukee tomorrow so I had quite a few last minute errands to do for Mom and myself. We also made time to visit Granny and Papa (Wade’s grandparents). Alex has become quite attached to me in the last few weeks and isn’t always eager to be held by someone else….

Alex had his first fever today. This probably explains the intermittent fussiness over the past few days. He was pretty grumpy all day, but the Tylenol and a toothbrush helped a little: Happy Birthday Andy!

We have spent a lot of time around the house. Mom is doing great and walking without a limp, but she isn’t quite up for running around town.

Alex has been great about playing in the den and entertaining Gram. Today he was showing off his movement skills: Dabney came for a visit and showed Alex how to play the game “telephone”: Then he showed Gram how to use her walker: Alex Using Gram’s Walker – 12 months from Wade Burch on Vimeo.

Today we did a lot of nothing. Alex wasn’t in a great mood, but he found a bell and a ball that seemed to turn the day around: Later in the day Gram tried to build Alex a fort with her walker and show him what her grabber could do. Happy Birthday Amy!
