Happy Polka Dot

Last Saturday our little Craig caught a virus.  It came with a high fever, very achy body (poor thing didn't even want to move), and a rash from head to toe.  His cheeks were especially red.  LUCKILY, the fever and achy-ness quit after 12 hours.  But his rash lasted almost a whole week.  You can't tell very well in the pictures quite what it looked like.  (If you double click on the pic, you can see it a little better) But it was pretty intense.  For example, I had to go to the store one day.  An older lady saw that I had a baby, came up to see, and carefully backed away trying to politely say he was cute, after she saw his polka dotted face!  Haha, poor thing. (Both the lady And Craig.) 
Even though he looked a little sickly, he was happy as can be. :) Which was encouraging for me.
Craig can also sit up now!  Thank goodness, because he was getting to a point where he was very bored of laying and rolling around on the floor.  Now he is much more content. :)
AND, eating solids.  Cami seriously LOVES to feed him.  Alex has taken a crack at it too.
Craig has welcomed the extra food and it's been fun watching his face as he's tried some new foods.  Most of the fruits he's tried, he puckers a bit because of it's tartness. Haha, loved it :).

Fun he's a good eater. Hank still doesn't eat solids very good.

LOVE that cami will feed him. And can. My girls would have it all over the place but in Hanks mouth :)

Oh poor Craig! Not fun for anyone when baby is sick. Love the big milestones! Glad you have helpers to feed him. Probably makes it possible for you to work while he eats. :) miss you guys!

I,m glad he's feeling better now. Hate it when the kids are sick. Aren't older children such a big help!!!
