Brax, Brody and Everleigh

This was the view from our back window this morning. Unfortunately, that's as close as we're going to get to enjoying the white powdery stuff. Brax has been under the weather for the past three days, suffering from a fever, cough and occasional wheezing. I've been administering an alternating cocktail of motrin and tylenol with a little albuterol on top to ease his symptoms.
Below represents how he's spent the last couple of days- cooped up in the house, absorbing cartoons at an alarming rate from the comfort of his own little "bed" on the living room floor. I guess if you can't avoid the "plague," then settle in for some much-needed cuddle time and a few books and movies, right? We will be heading to the doctor this afternoon due to the continued wheezing despite the albuterol. I just want to make sure that he doesn't need any additional medicine....

On another subject, I had heard that the "bumbo" seat made a great transitional item from the infant bathtub to the big boy bathtub. Being that Brody is quite large for 3 months, he has almost outgrown his infant bath and I thought that we would try the "bumbo" theory. As you can see, it was not a success. Brax insisted on pouring water over him, waterfall style, while shouting "I hel-ping, Mommy! Baby bath tub! Splash! Splash!" Maybe we'll try it without big brother next time.

Look at this sweet baby. He is huge!!! I weighed him last week and he was 14 1/2 pounds! What in the world??? Josh and I tried to measure his length last night and our best estimate was 24 inches. He is comfortably wearing clothes now, at 3 1/2 months, that Brax wore at 5 months. And Brax wasn't tiny!! He's such a good baby these days and generally sleeps anywhere from 7 to 8 1/2 hour stretches at night. I feel like he's grown up so fast already! Keep checking on us!
