Baby's First Flu

Never have I felt so helpless as a mother. To see your baby suffering so and all you can do is cuddle, comfort, and try to nourish (even though he doesn't want to eat or drink). Poor baby, coughing, mokos, fever, all attempts for body to rid of virus through various bodily fluids. Yea, Ick. So do we get the flu shot now??? That is the question. Yes ? No ? Autism?? The fear is that Gabe and I have also been infected and will then keep passing it around to each other. Stay tuned ... for hopefully happier times and can't wait for Niko to get back to his normal, cheerful, playing, and silly self.

Halloween 2007

I'm sad that I bought his Darth Vader costume one size too small because it is soooo cute and bad ass, and not many got to enjoy it (plus he wouldn't wear the helmet!), but it won't last until next year. We didn't venture trick-or-treating but we went to the park and played ball and ran into other packs of trick-or-treaters. Fun day for pictures.
