Easter and more

Fox has had lots of good meals lately. He is really loving potatoes (and grampa's cookies!). Here is a picture of him at GG Meissner's house Palm Sunday, getting quite involved with his food.




Fox tried to open and close doors and drawers all over grama and grampa Fischer's house over Easter weekend. Look how much fun he is having!


Family picture time! Fox had the cutest Easter outfit, but another kid was wearing the same thing at church--how embarrassing!! Fox was the cutest, of course. He looks good in orange!


Fox got a visit from the Easter bunny at grama and grampa's house, and then back home on Easter, Fox got to find another basket (or pile of stuff, rather). He made out pretty well. I am very excited about his pj's with foxes on them, but he seems to have more interest in his hippo ballpit.



Looking studious during playtime:

Static hair and big smile for Fox!


Fox made a funny face. I captured it. The result is below. You can see three big teeth in his mouth, but he had 8 now!! Crazy.

What a week!

Fox has been having a rough week. For those of you who haven't heard, Fox fell off his changing table Tuesday evening as I was getting him ready for bed. He freaked out, but he calmed down before too long. We thought everything was fine, so we put him to bed and brought him to daycare as usual the next day. He seemed sore, especially when we picked him up under his arms. I got a call from daycare at the end of the day that he was acting unusual--not moving much, crawling wierd, and crying if anyone went to pick him up. I left work early to take him to the doctor in Hudson. But the doctor was busy, so we went to the ER (Joe met us on his way home from work). Two hours and four xrays later, we learned he had a borken collarbone. Poor baby!

There isn't much we can do for him, other than not pick him up using his right armpit. We just have to be gentle with him and in 3-4 weeks he will be good as new. He is doing really well. The first couple days were hard for him, and he was in lots of pain, but now unless he moves certain ways or falls on his right side, he doesn't seem to notice he has a problem. He had adapted his crawling so he looks like he's doing a one-handed crab walk. It is very cute! And here is proof he is ok: this picture was taken today, and he is smiling big:


This one was also taken today, but I can't seem to make it rotate (I know how to rotate, it just isn't working).


The rest of these pictures are a little older, from the last month or so. Here is Fox pretending to talk on his bagel phones. He likes to pretend things are phones. He makes a sound that we think is "hello." We think he is practicing for being a teenager.


Is that a dirty sock? Nope! It's Fox, hanging out in the laundry basket!


Fox's new favorite toy: his potty chair! He doesn't use it for it's intended purpose yet, but he had lots of fun pretending and pushing it around like a walker.
