hey...

It's been a long time without pictures. I'm guessing this is why...
I was sick for a long time, 3 1/2 weeks. My mom took some video of me when I was sick, maybe that will make the blog. It started with a cold and my 1st earache, then I got a high fever for a couple of days. As soon as the fever stopped, a rash appeared all over my body and inside my mouth. Good news is that it didn't itch. Bad news is that it blistered on my hands, feet and inside my mouth. On our 3rd trip to the doctor, it was diagnosed as hand, foot and mouth. Makes sense! After the last visit, I came home and was even worse - not eating or drinking for 3 days, totally lethargic and quiet. All of you who know me, know that that is very UNusual for me! I love eating, drinking, yelling, crawling and playing. I'm really not much of a cuddler, but for about 2 or 3 days that's all I wanted to do and did. I even made it back into mom and dad's bed for those 3 nights. It was glorious! Oh, and I managed to score some popsicles too! Yum.
Anyway, now I'm better and mom is on break. I'm guessing there will be a lot of photos in my future. Until then...
love, Ben
