It's been a crazy summer

So sorry we haven't posted anything new in a long time. We have been busy! Between both Jacks I am a busy lady. If you don't know already Jack (big Jack) has been struck with many Staph infections in the past 10 months. TO be exact he is on number 5. Why you ask, we dont know either and constantly wonder the same thing.
Once that fiasco was taken care of, our little man came down with a really high fever. It was the worst. All he had was a fever. After 3 days of that and freaking me out in the middle of the night with it up to 104 we finally went to the dr ( I was ready to go to the ER at 1am). It wasn't an ear infection or a sore throat. Wasn't a stomach bug, no vomitosis in our house. It could only be a couple of things... a virus, uti (yes kids get them too), or the Rosiola Virus. Good thing a fellow mom and teacher at school had told me about this. The Rosiola virus consists of a high fever for 3-4 days, no other symptoms, and once the fever has ended a day or two later they break out into a rash all over their tummies and back. Sure enough on Friday morning as I was changing him, there were some light, red, bumps all over his tummy. In a day they were gone and our man is back to normal.
Oh wait, just kidding can we throw some teething in there too. It hasn't popped through yet, but you can see it right under the gum, a big molar is about to join his eight other teeth. To be honest it could be there and I don't know it. I'm afraid to stick my fingers in that mouth. He bites hard and doesn't let go when you yell. To him it's hilarious and he laughs while he's still biting you. Gotta love teeth.
Besides all of this crazy stuff we have been having fun. The weather has cooled off so we haven't been to the beach as much. We are now members of Sea World and love going. There is a fun kids area for him to run around at with other little munchkins his size. He would run up to all of them and give them hugs if they would let him. He's improving in using a fork. It's a lot of fun to watch him eat b/c ever other bite is followed by "uh oh!" If it falls off the fork he's looking for it in his high chair and saying, "uh oh" the whole time. He is also starting to shake his head no when he doesn't want something. I'm going to have to figure out who taught him that one. In the past couple of days he has been saying "mama" and hopefully it's not just a coincidence. I was trying to get a picture of him the other day helping me walk Kona, everytime I would take the picture he would let go of the leash. He leans over the edge of his stroller, as far as he can, and grabs onto the leash. It looks like he is taking Kona for a walk, it's the cutest.
There are so many things to share, but I would be here all night. We have his 15 month appt tomorrow. Yes he is turning 15 months tomorrow. Still can't believe how big he is. I was looking back at pictures from his 1st birthday and he has already changed soooo much in the 3 months. Time flies when you are loving every day of it.
