May 20 & 22

We've had an interesting week, which somewhat explains the lack of posts. We got back from Idaho/ Utah on Sunday night, Liam slept so well that night (and I got to sleep on my new mattress!). He woke up Monday morning with a runny nose. He was really snuggly and just not feeling well all day and got quite a fever. He took something like 5 naps before 3:00 in the afternoon. Mike and Jeff gave him a blessing that night because he was in pretty bad shape. I gave him some tylenol and hoped for the best. Well, I was up with him all night long Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. He would wake up every hour just screaming and flailing around like he was in so much pain. Wednesday afternoon he got a horrible rash that just kept spreading. He was acting fine during the day, no fever, just an ugly rash. I took him to the doctor on Thursday after his nap because it was not getting better and I was worried. Turns out, rash was in response to the fever, the fever was because of those blasted teeth, and he wasn't sleeping because of the teeth as well. So these pictures were taken right during the worst of his rash. Poor baby.




Here is my new haircut. I'm getting more used to doing it and I'm liking it more and more. I LOVE that it doesn't hurt like the dickens when Liam pulls it. I'll try to take a better picture... this is kinda a bad hair day. Ah well.

On Saturday, May 22, I went to a stake Relief Society thing, where we had to wear name tags. I got home and Liam was so fascinated by the silly thing. I stuck it on his chest so he could wear it and he loved that! (There are those baby legs again. I'm going to make some less girly ones sometime.)

And here's a little video from this day. I couldn't get what I was hoping for- he puts the Mr. Potato Head pieces in his mouth with the peg sticking out and hums. It sounds like Darth Vader (is that right, Mike?). So, you can kind of get the gist at the very beginning, but he stopped as soon as he saw the camera.
