Not far from Home

Just as my back started feeling much better, Tyler started getting sick, so we have hardly ventured far from home for another week.  By the end of the day on Monday, he was running a 103 degree fever that lasted through Tuesday.  We saw the doctor and she thought it could be roseola, hand foot and mouth disease or just a stomach virus.  Since he never got the rash that comes with roseola or the sores that come with hand foot and mouth disease, it looks like it was just a stomach virus.  He's been fever free for over a day now.  And, we will finally do some food shopping today (we've been living on what's in the house all week!)  Here is the little guy looking much happier to be feeling better. 

We cleared the train tracks from our "train" table in the toy room to allow us to use the able to play games and put puzzles together.  Tyler likes to push cars across the table surface while Brennan and I play.  Brennan is getting good at playing a few games according to the real game rules now (we were previously using modified rules to make it easier for him to understand.)  He love Chutes and Ladders and is working on controlling his emotions when he loses!  He's getting better at the Memory games and we are working on playing Go Fish correctly.

We did manage to get outside for a little bit to enjoy the weather.  Brennan wanted to take a walk in the two cars.  The car he is in below drives Fred Flinstone style.  However, he is really too big and couldn't really move his legs well enough to effectively go far, so we had to call it quits on that idea.

My sister, Debby, is getting married on August 25 and the boys are in the wedding.  I decided to buy tuxedos for them online, since the cost of buying two would be less than renting one!  Brennan was so excited to try his on.  He has been telling everyone about his tuxedo!

We are hoping Tyler will be walking in time for Debby's wedding.  I know it's wishful thinking that he'll go straight down the isle, but hey, we can dream!  He is a fast crawler, which I've read can sometimes delay walking, but he pulls up on everything and is starting to take steps when we hold his hands and cruise a little more often.  We may soon have a little toddler on our hands!
