Update

Oh, what a week. The LaCombe family generously supported the greater Lafayette healthcare community - three doctor visits, a midnight pediatric phone consultation, and countless pharmacy visits.

The kitchen counter is cluttered with pill bottles, ointments, and a vintage bottle of snake oil (actually useless but cool for effect) - I think it's safe to say that cold and flu season is here.

KC and David are now experienced in the managment of Pink Eye - KC enjoyed the experience so much that she decided to contract the infection too - fortunately, the clinic felt sorry for her and gave a bottle of eyedrops at no charge!

Despite the recent drama, we actually had a few positive milestones. Will appears to be experiencing a growth spurt - he's eating sweet potatoes, peas, and rice cereal. He's also wearing infant 6 - 9 month clothing (never mind he's only 5 months). We think he'll rollover soon - the wiggle worm is getting strong - holding his head up and kicking his legs like a wild man.

One of the funniest moments this week is Will's discovery of his tongue.

He amuses himself (and his parents) by sticking his tongue out. He giggles - retracts the tongue - and sticks it out again. As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Betty (Dave's mom) tells a story where David's grandmother took him to the phone company where she worked. During the visit, David stuck his tongue out to everyone he met. Dave thinks that his Grandmother is getting revenge - encouraging Will to adopt his Daddy's childhood antics.

We're keeping a low profile this weekend - I think some comfort food should help us feel better. We'll probably also play scrabble, nap, watch football, and nap some more.

How many days until Spring?
