All clear

Today I had my one year checkup which included a CT scan, chest x-ray and blood work and the great news is that everything is normal and clear.  Great news (knock on wood).

A rough week

Its been a tough week for our little guy.

• Last Monday, he went back to daycare after two weeks off
• Thursday he had a high fever and would not eat after daycare (we did get to goto the zoo because of this)
• Friday and Saturday he broke out with a rash all over his body
• Saturday he finished a 10 day course of antibiotics for strep
• Saturday he got taken to the YMCA daycare while we worked out
• Sunday he went to the doctor for the rash (nothing to worry about)
• Today he went to the park at 7:15 am with mom and dad, only to have dad leave for his doctor's appointment after 15 minutes (Davis stood at the fence saying "Da-Da?")
• He has multiple teeth coming in at once

Drop off at daycare has been especially tough for the last week.  He really does not like to see mom or dad go and lets us know about it.  Tonight was a really rough night for all of us - teething seems to have him in a lot of discomfort and he spent most of the night screaming and throwing himself around.  A popsicle at dinner did help, as did Tylenol, but it was tough to see him so uncomfortable.

Daddy in Time out

Note: This post sat as a draft for a very long time.  I think I have the publication date right, but it might have been October 2010, not June 2010.

While John was cooking dinner last week, and I was still on my way home from work, our cat Domino decided to help himself to some chicken on the counter.  In the process, he knocked the dish off the counter, breaking it and generally adding to the confusion that is our normal weeknight.  John, in frustration, decided to lock Domino in our bedroom until dinner was over.  When Davis asked, John said "Domino is in trouble and he's in time out".  Later that night, Davis pushed John into our bedroom and closed the door.  When I asked him why, he said "Daddy's in trouble".  He couldn't tell me why Daddy was in trouble and John didn't seem to mind some peace and quiet in time out.

Sick at the zoo

Davis came down with a fever and loss of appetite so we decided to keep him out of daycare today.  However, he seems to feel much better, so after a trip to the park this morning, Davis and I headed to the zoo.  He really enjoyed the wolves and all the other children (the zoo within the zoo).

More Pictures

Kristen just gave me the other camera and I couldn't help posting two more pictures:

New Photos

We spent the evening in the backyard watching baby blue jays, grilling and playing in the sandbox.  I snapped a few photos of Davis with the 70-300 to both play around with the lens and get some new pictures of the little guy.  Here are a few:
