Surviving our first illness

Lewis caught his first cold last week which turned into croup. No Fun! On his worst night, he would only sleep while being held. I was up with him at 2am when I realized how cold it was in the house. That's right - to top off the night our furnace went out! Luckily a very nice repair man came out at 3am to fix it. The above picture is him the next morning -- fleece PJs, sleep sack, blanket and hat!

Lewis is starting to feel better, but now he's passed along the illness to me. The joys of parenthood I guess.

Lewis didn't let the illness hold him back though. Over the weekend, he started clapping and crawling. Not at the same time yet, but I'm sure that's coming.
