Our Little Blue Jean Elvis.

On Friday afternoon {I am learning that your child always decides to get sick about 3 hours before the start of a weekend -- how do that know its about to be the weekend and no doctor will be readily available if needed?} Anways, Lincoln started showing signs of being sick. I knew that on Monday afternoon we had his 6 month well-child check up scheduled so I decided to hold off on calling Friday afternoon and wait till Monday. Bad decision.

Saturday morning, Lindsey met us at the Arkansas Studies Institute in downtown LR to take Lincoln's 6 month pictures. Needless to say, he was not up to his normal happy/smiley self but we persevered and Lindsey hung in there while we changed outfits and tried to make the best of the shoot. Well, hindsight is always right! I just don't like that hindsight sometimes!! Nobody likes someone who is ALWAYS right. I regretted my decision all weekend b/c Lincoln started running a temp on Saturday night {after the pics} and I just felt terrible the rest of the weekend. I took him in for his 6 month well-child on Monday and she determined he had an ear infection, some major congestion, sore throat and still running a fever! No shots were given b/c he was so sick. He did weight 17 lbs. 2 oz. and his length was 26.5 inches long. Both are in the 50th percentile still. All else looked good besides him being so sick.

Lincoln and I have spent some quality time together while he has been sick. You know, crib parties at 3:00 a.m. that last 2 hours. He was having a hard time sleeping laying down because of all the congestion. So he was napping better sitting up. We were both pretty exhausted.

On Monday, Dr. A. gave him the grape tongue depressor which he proceeded to play with for hours after we got home!

He is on the mend now and we will all be resuming our normal activities tomorrow! Despite being "under the weather" Lindsey, of course!, managed to get some super fun and cute shots. We received this onesie in a bag of hand-me-down clothes from Tara. We knew it was the perfect outfit for his 6 month shots!! And I just couldn't pass up the jean diapers. Totally fun and cheesy on so many levels but you are only 6 months old once so you gotta live it up big.

Here is our Little Blue Jean Elvis.

Thanks Aunt Z -- you are the B-E-S-T best!!
