That's it!

I'm making an executive decision as co-owner of this blog - no more "blog"s in the titles anymore! I'm not creative enough to keep this up for much longer! Soooooo...

It's been a while since we posted an entry here, hasn't it? Reason #1 - we're lazy. You all know it's true. Reason #2 - Ben got sick (fever, runny nose, vicious cough, etc.) and now we're sick. But instead of going to bed, I'm doing this.

Yeah, so Ben spiked a fever just over a week ago - kinda scary since he has never really had a fever like that before. It lasted almost two days and then tapered off, but it was the start of a cold. He has a very bad cough almost a week now. Poor little guy has coughing spasms...as a parent, your heart just breaks!

Other than a couple of days where he was very fussy and moody, he's doing fine. Here's a list of what Ben is up to these days:
- Dancing - it is so comical! He loves to dance to "Old MacDonald had a farm", and is now changing up his dance steps. Ben dances better than Gord does!
- Sign language - he knows to ask for "milk", "more" (usually he wants food), and "all done". This is helping a lot because his vocabulary is not the greatest yet!
- Hisses like a snake - we have a book which has a picture of a snake in it - when you ask him what the snake sounds like, he hisses!
- Train noises - after what seems like 2 weeks of saying, "Choo-choo" a million times, he's finally getting it!
- Cutting more molars - the first one popped through about 3 weeks ago. He has to be getting about 2 more (he was just up, crying inconsolably until I finally broke out the Anbesol - I've only ever used it once before).

Anyways, I should sign off. Sorry for the lame post. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. But "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is on. I'm a sucker for John Corbett (even with the long hair!).

Blah, blah, blah. Hope that you're all doing really well! Oh and Liz, good luck with impending labour and birth and all the good stuff that comes after it!
