The "bug"

Our household just got over the dreaded stomach bug. I haven't been sick with that for 8 years! The first winter with a baby and it hits us all! (by all I mean mother in law, father in law, brother in law, sister in law and one neice. The other so far is okay). We all had slightly different variations.

Eli started with it monday with, to be kind i'll just say, bad diapers. Tuesday I was very very ill as was Ed, then tuesday evening Eli was 'ill.' (aka yarfing). Wednesday he seemed better but then in the middle of the night there was more yarf. It was not fun.

I think today we are finally over it. We fed him mostly a pedialyte mixture yesterday (Water, salt, sugar, jello). Soo today MIL is going to try some banana's for breakfast and we'll see how that goes.

In other news: He's really mastered pulling himself up and standing next to things. He's not really cruising yet but getting there. And boy is he a fast crawler. If he really wants something he takes off. He's saying all kinds of things now. All within a few days! he's saying ba ba and even said mummum a few times. He's saying gaa and all other sorts of babbelings.

He also ate some dog food this morning. By the time Ed got to him (after we heard the bowl tip) he had dog food in his hands. I was cleaning off his hands and was like, wait a minute, whats in your mouth. Sure enough some dog food. The kicker is, he was so sneaky about it! he had a completely straight face and wasn't chewing or doing anything to give away the fact that he had dog food in there.

If this is the sign of things to come..well... I'm going to be in trouble.
