Gardner's slowly feeling better....I think. His congestion is not changing, but his fever has been gone since Friday morning. I think it is just a long illness that needs to run its course.

Not to mention that his gums are bruised because his molars are starting to come in. Maybe that is what all of this is, anyway, who knows. All I know is that I have one little miserable kid who just wants to feel better. It breaks a mommy's heart to not be able to work a miracle to make that happen instantaneously!

He is learning animal sounds now, with our help and prompting. He can also point to parts of our faces (namely the nose and eyes). His new favorite word is "P.U.!" He has learned to stand and sway/bend to music, and he points to his open palm to indicate he wants "more" of something at the dinner table.

For halloween, his grandmama so graciously crafted a handmade costume of a "circus monkey," complete with vest and big ears. :) I cannot wait to post pictures.
