Roseola...what??

So first, I should mention that we are having major camera problems (read, doesn't hold battery power and constantly shuts off mid-photo) and that we are trying to get it fixed before the little guy turns one this week! That said, I don't have any new photos to offer you, unfortunately.

In addition to the camera issues we have been sick, sick, sick. It's so interesting what illnesses float around baby world. My sweet friend's daughter has hand, foot, mouth disease...WHO get's that really?? Apparently lots of babies, as it's the current popular illness among the pre-toddler set. Our little guy, no hand-foot-mouth for him, but roseola instead. This virus meant 104 temperature for us for two days, medicine every few hours and when the temperature finally went down a rash appeared all over his body (think chicken pox/measles), and since he's contagious until the rash goes away, we've had lots of Robert-mommy bonding time this week...mommy's exhausted and ready for a nice glass of wine.

This was our first real instance of a really sick baby, praise the Lord for that, but the memory of my child radiating heat won't escape me anytime soon.
