Sickies

The past week at our house has been filled with the flu, which according to others' Facebook posts, we were definitely not alone! The flu has definitely been going around! Layla started it and then Joe had, then Gibson got it on Friday at Em's house which unfortunately spread it to their family because Gavin got it on Monday:(. I thought we were in the clear since Layla and Joe had had it early in the week and we all seemed fine since then. Gibson's spirits were really good during his flu. It's amazing how much better children handle being sick! He threw up lots but still acted happy, the only difference in personality was that he was really calm and would just sit on your lap--normally he doesn't sit still for long! He also didn't want to each much besides yogurt or applesauace, but after a couple of days he was back to his normal self.
Here he is relaxing on dad's lap...not normal for him!

Despite being sick he still had enough energy to get into the presents:). I thought he was doing so well with listening to "no" regarding the tree and presents, and then I caught him opening up one of Layla's! (the picture is slightly blurry as I was in a hurry and did not want to encourage the behavior:D) And then yesterday I found one smaller present on the other side of the room! Little stinker:). But besides that, all the other presents have been safe thus far:). Oh, and last week Thursday he finally got his first tooth! Well, actually he got two of them! I thought Layla was late not getting a tooth until 10 months, but he's almost 1!

Layla and Gavin had fun playing outside last Friday. We told them to just stay on the deck so that we could stay warm inside and still easily keep an eye on them:).

I tried to get a pic of the kids of the kids in their Christmas/Winter shirts, but my attempt was not so successful:).

All three of them had been looking out the window but of course Gibs got down by the time I grabbed my camera...
