Fevers, Flowers, and other Fun Tidbits
Jason started walking on August 28th. He had only a couple days to practice his new skill before he got hit with a nasty virus that gave him a fever for 5 days and sucked the life out of the whole family. Kyle and I thought we had traveled several months back in time with frequent baby night-awakenings and a baby who wanted to be held constantly, crying loudly in protest if you put him down even to go to the bathroom. It was an awful week, and from the standpoint of a stay-at-home mother, could not have started on a worse day-- Monday. It was a very long, wearying week. My sweet husband felt bad for me so he bought me some flowers to cheer me up.
Thankfully that is all behind us now and Jason is back to walking again. He still walks like baby Frankenstein with his arms held out for balance. It's pretty cute. He is 14.5 months old now. He loves balls, water, and animals. These pictures are of Jason feeding ducks at the Wetlands park; petting baby goats at Wheeler Farm; and splashing with Grandma Linda, Melissa, and Austin.
We've continued to enjoy having a grill and a backyard. We had my siblings over for Labor Day.
Our lawn is looking much better with the cooler weather. Recently we were in need of a lawn mower. Kyle's grandpa said he had an extra self-propelled mower that we could have. We were shocked when he pulled out this little beauty. It has to be one the first self-propelled lawn mowers ever made. It was built in the 1950s and it has 2.5 horsepower. Kyle tried it out on our lawn. Luckily for us Kyle's aunt offered up her old lawn mower, which is pretty new in comparison. We are too spoiled because 2.5 horsepower was not strong enough. Plus the highest setting on grandpa's mower butchered our already struggling lawn.
