101.6

Will and Alex managed to make fast friends with a cold bug this week.  Their steady decline really picked up speed Wednesday night when they decided to wake up every hour on the hour after midnight.  By Thursday evening, Alex was running a temperature of 101.6 degrees.  We propped up crib mattresses, refilled the humidifier and battened down the hatches.

After a few steamy nights of rolling around their cribs like bowling pins, they have managed to make a little bit of progress.  There are still plenty of tears, coughing and snot bubbles but overall, they are smiling more and crying less.  I am looking forward to kicking this bug to the curb (they shared it with me too) so that we can start making more memories and less laundry.

Don't let these pictures fool you, they are only napping for ten minutes at the most right now and rarely at the same time.  For those of you that are keeping track, Will is wearing frogs and Alex is wearing dogs...
