Well Desmond came down with a stomach bug of some sort yesterday. He had a bunch of diarrhea during the day, so we ended up putting in disposable diapers so we could put diaper rash cream on his butt and to make clean up a bit easier, of course he hasn’t had any since. He also woke up at 12:30am and threw up all over his bed, which was lots of “fun”.

He is definitely not feeling well today, he hasn’t thrown up again, but then again he hasn’t eaten anything other then a bit of Mango Sorbet. He has drunk a bit of water, but not a ton, we’re keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t get too dehydrated. He has a fever of around 103, so we’ve been giving him baby Tylenol and Motrin to bring it down to 101 or so. He is very tired and sleepy and isn’t running around or anything, poor baby does not feel well.

Here is a picture of him cuddled up with K-line and Daddy watching Cars.

So we’ve been working on getting the house ready for bean. On Monday we dropped Desmond off at his Grandparents’ house and came back and Dan put together the storage solution for toys in the living room, we found something at Target and I cleaned our bedroom and Desmond’s room. Here are a couple of pictures of Desmond’s room, while it is clean. It is actually surprisingly still clean 3 and a half days later, which I am shocked about. There are some books on the floor, but that’s about all he’s pulled out.

I realized I haven’t taken any pictures at Gymboree for awhile, so since I had my small camera with me on Saturday I took a few. Here is Desmond having fun at Gymboree.

Here are some random pictures of Desmond. A couple are from our second Ikea visit, when we went looking for some sort of toy storage solution, which we didn’t find. He is on the slide again. The other two are what he likes to do to the gate we have in front of the TV to keep him out of that area, it doesn’t work as well as we would hope unfortunately.

In fun and exciting Desmond news, he has gotten quite good at taking off his pants, and diaper too, at least listening to the monitor while Dan is trying to get him to bed. He has been able to take off his pants for awhile, he just hasn’t been doing it often until recently.

He can also apparently put on his sneakers. They may be on the wrong feet, but they are on and velcroed up, and he is stomping around the house in them quite pleased with himself.

So Desmond has a cold with a nasty cough, so I figured we’d give him a spoonful of honey to help out. Apparently Desmond is not a fan of honey on a spoon. Who would have guessed? I mean the child loves almost all foods and loves sugar, apparently he does not however like a spoonful of honey, I guess it doesn’t help the medicine go down in Desmond’s world.

I swear he thought we were trying to poison him.

…need to go into timeout? Dan started the sentence last night when he was being hit with the laundry basket thought about it for a second and just couldn’t finish it.

So before nap time I looked over at Desmond and he was sitting down “reading” his Winnie the Pooh book, so what could I do but grab the camera and take a bunch of pictures.

So I got out a playdoh container and a few crayons for Desmond today to play with. He had fun drawing and playing with the playdoh for awhile when he noticed they were sitting out for him.

Hmm crayons make nice things to stick in playdoh, look Mommy!

Desmond has finally figured out how to jump! He has known the basics of how to do it for months now, but this past week he finally put it all together and is a little jumping fool now. He figures why walk when I can jump!
