The past two weeks have been interesting to say the least. We had the whole North Korea threat hanging over us for a bit and I was worried about it until I read that it's a regular thing for Guam. According to the locals anytime tension increases between the U.S. and North Korea, Guam gets threatened because of our proximity to them. So that alleviated a lot of my fears - still wasn't happy about Trump handling it like a bull in a China shop but at least it has blown over for now.
Carlton came home after that whole thing and we were very happy to see him!
Unfortunately the second night Carlton was home, Gavin got sick. He was super fussy and wouldn't go to bed. We couldn't figure out what was wrong until he threw up on my and the bed. Then we realized the problem! He proceeded to throw up three more times in about 30 minutes and had a mild fever. Giving him Tylenol was not fun...most of it ended up on is pajamas! He ended up sleeping in bed with Mommy and Daddy because very time we put him in his bassinet, he woke up and cried. He just needed some snuggles. Luckily the fever only lasted about 36 hours and the vomiting never returned. He just needed lots of sleep and cuddles!

Gavin recovered quickly and is back to his regular activities! He has become proficient at getting his toes into his mouth. He is also getting better at pulling his socks off.

This past weekend we decided to go check out the new museum - we have been admiring its architecture for the past year but haven't actually gone to see what is inside. The exhibit was a bit disappointing but the museum itself is a very cool building and has great views from the second floor.
Gavin hit five months old on August 18th!! He is not crawling or sitting up yet (which is fine by me) but he is getting better at pushing up on his hands when he is on his tummy. He is also much more aware of his surroundings and grabs at anything within close proximity.
Thanks so much for the updates! So glad you are feeling a little bit more safe regarding North Korea.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the pictures and videos of Gavin (and you and Carlton too).
Your son is absolutely precious!!!
Love and kisses to all of you!
