Eli's Birthday

Eli's actual birthday ended up being rather eventful. I had gotten up at 1:30 to check on him, and he was still running a fever, so I gave him some Tylenol.

Then he was on TV :) You can send in your 1-year old's picture to our local news station, and they will wish them a happy 1st birthday :) I taped it on the VCR too (No...we don't have TIVO...) and Edgar's dad said he'd put it on a DVD for me...so we'll have it forever :)

Jennifer came over and brought Eli his birthday breakfast. He liked the donut, but wasn't really very hungry. His appetite hasn't been great since he's been sick...He DID eat some of the donut (and finished what I left for him today...) He did NOT drink the coffee. That was mine. I don't share my coffee. I do, however, make it look like my son drinks it...(Thanks Jennifer for breakfast!)

Then we played with toys, and went for a walk in Eli's wagon.

As we were coming back Abuela & Abuelo pulled in. They were coming over to get a couple of things, so they got to see Eli on his big day! Eli was wearing a shirt that Abuela got him-it said 'Mi primo cumpleano'. It was pretty cute!

I had called the doctor on Monday to see if I should take Eli in, and they said to wait one more day. So when he woke up with a fever on Tuesday, I called and made an appointment for 11:20. I put him down for his nap at 10, and when I went to wake him up at 11 he looked like this:

He was SOAKED! Yes, his fever had broken. I debated whether to take him to the doctor or not, but figured I had the appointment, so I might as well keep it, just to be sure.

He was in such a good mood at the office! It's a good thing, because we waited for over an hour before we got to see the doctor.

He's fine. The doctor said it is just a virus, and it needed to run its course.

(As of 10:00 tonight he's been fever free since last night...so I think he's over it!)

We spent the rest of the afternoon doing stuff around the house.

We went over to see Abuela & Abuelo for dinner. Eli lost his other shoe somewhere...

Eli was the only one that got a chair :) Quite fitting...it WAS his birthday, after all...

Still no cake...I'm waiting until I'm SURE he feels good. Maybe tomorrow night. I'm determined to get the picture :)
