Colds and Gears

Colds:
On Tuesday Lukas and Sean had come down with a head cold and Lukas spent Tuesday night and Wednesday early morning complaining vigorously about not being able to breathe through his nose. Neither Kim nor I got more than an hour of steady shuteye so we were quite exhausted Wednesday.

Fortunately, we were prepared with pillows under mattresses and vapourizer running to help the last two nights were we got full night's sleeps. The boys seem to be recovering alright and we look forward to a fun filled weekend.

Gears:
Lukas found first gear last night.

I was downstairs in the rec room with the boys on the floor and Lukas was playing with the monkey ball that rolls and makes noises on his stomach while Sean and I rolled balls back and forth (kind of).

Suddenly I realized that Lukas had started inching forward to reach the monkey ball when it rolled away fro him. Kim and I spent the next little while watching while he masters the hand-elbow pull and move himself ever so slowly in a forward direction consistently for the first time.

We were very excited. And nervous. Now, no where is safe! :)
