We have had a pretty rough week around our house. Last week I had a simple head cold, nothing big, but it turned into a nightmare. Thursday afternoon mommy picked me up from school and my teacher reported that I had been limping all day. Mommy thought it was related to my bruised toe (I ran over my big toe with a door the other day and bruised it pretty bad. Mommy says my toe nail will probably fall off) but she quickly found out different. As the night progressed at home I complained about my knee hurting. Mommy thought I was being a bit dramatic but the next morning it was clear that I was not. I could barely walk on my left leg and would scream in pain when mommy would flex or extend my knee. Luckily baby brother had his one year check up exam that morning so mommy took me with her. Doctor said it was a case of "synovitis" which is common after a general cold and that it should go away in a few days. It did take me a few days but I seemed to get a bit better every day. Weirdly enough, a week later my right leg started hurting the same way. My pain was so severe that daddy stayed home from work with me. Mommy started to get really worried at that point because it just didn't seem normal but once again, after about a week, I was back to my normal self.
Valentines Day fell during the middle of all the scuffle and mommy made me yummy heart shaped waffles with strawberries, blueberries, and cream! That made all of my aches and pains better!

The last week or so has been rough for me too which means that mommy's life has been equally rough. While sissy was dealing with her knee issue I was dealing with some big teeth. All four of my one year molars have been pushing their way through at the same time and I have not been happy about it. My general crankiness started the day of my birthday party and has continued. I am not sleeping well, I am salivating continuously, I am running a fever... I guess one thing is good, at least I will get all of this over instead of having to get them all in separately. My upper R molar is being incredibly difficult... It just won't pop through. The gums around it are blue and really tender. My upper left officially appeared on Feb 6, lower right on Feb 10, and lower left on Feb 13.
Despite my teething issues I am still a sweet boy at heart. Mommy is over the moon happy that I am a snuggle bug like my sissy was. She was a bit afraid that because I was a boy that I wouldn't like to be held. But, not true! The other day she picked me up from school, I crawled right into her arms, and gave her a big, big kiss. Then I laid my head on her shoulder while she held me.
I am continuing to learn more signs, though I still get a lot of them confused! I really understand "more" and "eat" when it comes down to meal times but need a bit more practice on the others. I am working on my colors and have orange down pretty good (which makes my sissy super happy!) and red too. I also know how to say "momma" both with my hands and words, which you can imagine makes my mommy pretty pleased! I just don't seem to like to use the word "please"! I find that screaming gets me what I want just as fast... Though mommy says she is going to put a stop to that.
