A Weekend of Firsts

Colton had a busy weekend. His first Thanksgiving was spent sleeping most of the day while he fought off a low fever that we figured was teething. Turns out the fever was actually the start of his first time being sick, with the culprit being strep throat. His first time on medicine turned into his first allergic reaction. Turns out our little man is allergic to amoxicillin just like his mom. We got him a different med and now he's feeling much better; and Aaron and I are looking forward to a good night's sleep.

There was one good "first" this weekend. Colton took a nice long nap this morning trying to catch up on the lost sleep from last night. When I went up to get him from his crib this is what I saw....

Yep! He got up to sitting all by himself...for the first time!

We also had the first snow of the season. We woke up Friday morning to a beautiful white blanket on the ground! The first words out of Clara's mouth were as she spied out the window were "Mommy, can we go play in the snow?" She was so excited, how could I say no. We threw some pants on over her jammies, her winter coat, and rain boots! I haven' gotten to the store yet for snow boots. She played outside for a few minutes before deciding it was time for breakfast. But, she was so excited and loved every minute of it!
