Baby's first cold

Vroom vroom

The mouse is sick :(

Twice before now he had a bit of a runny nose, but this is the real deal - he's had a proper cough since Tuesday. He's been such a trouper and is napping extra and hydrating extra and he's just about better now. I've been trying to click a picture of him looking sick all week, but he keeps smiling and giggling at the camera.

So instead of a sick picture, here is a picture of the best ten bucks I ever spent. Since Brandt enjoys being walked around so much, I found a walker on craigslist and he loves loves loves it. I keep meaning to sneak into the slick-floored community center with it since most of our house is carpeted. But for the meantime, he's quite enjoying himself confined to the kitchen, chasing the dogs around (the dogs aren't enjoying it much, though).

Much to my surprise, two days ago Dan showed me that the walker works on the carpet, too! Brandt can't go in reverse as easily on the carpet and he can turn corners just fine and follows us all over the house. It's so fun!

And holy cow, those two top teeth have poked through! They're the teeth next to the main front teeth so I think he might be doing things out of sequence.
