Ol' Blue Turned Red

 So...two days after finishing his antibiotics from being sick in MD, I noticed suspicious bumps on Drew's thumb.  Not just any thumb, Ol' Blue.  You see, our little boy never did like pacifiers...believe me we tried.   Andrew called his source of comfort Ol' Blue since it's trusty. :)  ANYWAY we found out that he has a type of staph infection.  Luckily it's not that contagious and it's only on his finger.  But we were told to wrap Ol' Blue.  WHAT?!!  Well, the first nap after the wrapping was refused...but he finally got tired enough that he fell asleep later.  It was kind of sad to see him try to suck his thumb through the red.  After this week, it should all be better.  
This is just a pic of his MESS before the wrap.  Oh man.  And none of his "big" bibs were clean.

Attitude

We've been traveling fools these last few weeks and will continue to do so throughout July.  We went up to Montana around the middle of May.  The last week in May my sisters, brother and parents all got together in SLC to see the play Les Miserable. It was really fun because Mom didn't know we girls were all going to be there.  We haven't all been together, alone since Adam was two months old.

Earlier this month we were excited to take a trip to MD to be with Andrew's parents.  (I need to upload photos to my computer to add.  There were some cute ones.)  We spent just over a week there and unfortunately Drew got sick after a couple of days and was sick most of the time.  It was too bad because he really wasn't himself at all.  It was a blessing though to have him sleeping well at night and he traveled great on the plane.
 This was on the way out...he really fought going to sleep...finally he gave in. (So did Mom.)
 We went to a minor league baseball game.  Unfortunately, there was a rain delay...yet no rain.  (strange)  Anyway, Mom Long, Drew and I left early because this boy here was SO tired.
One night we were able to go to a nearby park.  I think I caught him doing the Funky Chicken.

Drew finally started scooting around.  We try to put him up on his knees and show him how to crawl that way, however that is usually followed by a little tantrum.  Which leads me to connect to the title of this post:ATTITUDE.  Drew is getting an attitude for sure.  He throws little tantrums over things that he didn't used to.  Oh man.  I didn't realize that we would be dealing with this so young.  Hopefully, we'll all learn how to deal with this.  Anyway, he is still a sweetheart, he's just keeping us all on our toes.
