Well, according to the calendar, Brendon isn't due for a Wonder Week yet, but it may as well have been for all the new things he is doing. For a few weeks now he has been doing baby sign language for Eency Weency Spider but has just started signing Five Little Ducks as well. The big excitement this week was when he started signing 'milk'.
He has also started dancing, jiggling along to any tunes on the radio or to Mum and Dad's singing. At times he looks like he is trying to clap.
Mathew has taught Brendon how to do High 5's.
I looked in Brendon's mouth yesterday and it looks like he is cutting a tooth.
On Thursday last week, Brendon woke up not his usual happy self. He was off his solids, thirsty, hot, grizzly, sleepy and appeared to have a stomach ache. I took him to the doctors and they said he had a virus. That night I had diarrhoea and the next morning Brendon did too. I took him to the hospital to get him checked out, but they said the same thing... just a virus and to keep an eye on it. He had a fever for three days and the virus has now shown itself to be a cold. He has a runny nose and throaty sounding cough. The fever is over and his appetite has resumed. Brendon spent two nights sleeping in our room in his car seat (in the bassinet position) as sleeping flat on his back made breathing too difficult for him. Last night he slept in his own bed and only woke once for a feed.
With Brendon's fever making him thirsty, being able to sign for milk was a bonus, as he was able to let me know when he wanted some especially as it wasn't usually at a
time I would offer it to him.
