Ice Cream and Shoulder Rides

Jasper had his first taste of ice cream.
Joseph, Jasper, and I took an impromptu car ride into the country with Lee Ann and her husband, Steven. 

Fever and Words

Jasper has had his first fever and sickness.
Hfmd, fever, and a touch of post, nasal, drip.
His temp got as high as 103.5 and scared us for a hot minute.  Gave Jasper fever reducing meds: ibuprofen.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Sounds a bit scary.

Jasper now has it.
He has spots all over himself. He didn't go to school yesterday due to a fever and today they sent him home due to the hfmd.
A coworker friend has 2 children at Jasper's school as well and they also have it in addition to other Woosong professors with kids in daycare. Tis the season.
Hand, foot, and mouth generally presents itself during the summer and/or fall.
Joseph and I are curious if we can contract it and it looks as if it is rare because of our immune system. *fingers crossed*

7 Months

Our little man is now 7 months. Time flies.
He can now stand on his own for a few seconds and he can stand leaning on something for about 30 seconds.
No teeth yet but he is drooling more so perhaps that will be soon.
