My sweet little Andre all of a sudden got sick Wednesday night - the poor kid was burning up for a couple of days. To knock off the fever, I had to give him Ibuprofen every 6 hours. We tried to convince him that the medicine was yummy and tasted like candy, but it was to no avail. Everytime I tried to give it to him, he would spit it out, start gagging and crying uncontrollably. Well, we had to bribe him - everytime Andre would drink the medicine, we would give him a handful of chocolate chips. You see the end result.

Sitting up
Harper has been working on sitting up. He still falls and folds over quite a bit, but I think he'll get it down pretty soon.

Doesn't this look comfortable?
Andre recently decided to push his bedtime to 8:30-9 pm, and even then he doesn't quite go to sleep - the kid has an unlimited amount of energy (I wish I could borrow some of it). We keep our routine - we say our family prayer, tuck him in and kiss him goodnight; Andre lays still until we leave the room, and as soon as we close the door behind us, he gets up, climbs up on the changing table, turns on the light, climbs down and plays with whatever toys he can find. Battling him at it is pretty much impossible, as he will keep doing it ver and over again. So, we let him do it, and usually about half an hour later we find him asleep in hi bed, with the lights still on (And I've got to say they are pretty bright). This is how we found Andre a couple of nights ago.
That's right he moved the SUPER heavy futon mattress almost completely off the frame, and I guess in the process of doing it got tired and fell asleep...
...on the very edge of it

A complete turn around
When I started Harper on solids (rice cereal) 2 weeks ago he was ok with it the first time, but all the subsequent times he got more frustrated and upset. That is until I introduced bananas. Since then he started to eat like a champ. I barely have enough time to fill up the spoon, and if I am too slow he lets me know by starting to fuss. The kid practically attacks the spoon, sometimes I worry that it will gag him. So here's the way it goes:
A huge bowl of rice cereal/banana mixture
One ready baby
5 minutes later it's all gone and I have one satisfied baby (well, sometimes he also likes to nurse afterwards - he's going to be huge if he continues at this rate)
Licked clean bowl and a spotless bib
