How do you celebrate 11 months together?

This week we celebrated 11 months with Caleb!  How did we choose to celebrate you ask?

Well, with a lot of.....
 snuggling
temperature taking
nose wiping and
motrin giving!

And, with the ultimate in celebrating style....
6 hours in the ER together.

Yep, our poor guy is sick.  He has influenza b and an urinary tract infection.  You know that pound I was so excited he had gained?  Well, back to trying to get him to gain it again.

You know what I thought about as we snuggled in the ER?  I thought about how this time when he is so sick he has a mommy and daddy who love him and will comfort him.  He has a mommy and daddy that he can sleep with when his fever gets to 105.3 (and yes it did get that high).  He has siblings that care and want to help him feel better.  He has a family!  Our family!  We are the lucky ones!

I even managed to get a smile out of him while we waited in the ER.  When the fever is down he does pretty good..if it would just stay down!
