Forest River's Baby Blog

In the storm shelter at City Hall!

Last night at supper Forest said his first grace. We held hands and each said what we were grateful for. Forest said “Nana!” (banana).

Uncle Walter and Cousin Arthur are in town visiting. Today we are swimming at the YMCA (except Daddy, the appointed photographer). Forest, aided and abetted by his Mama and his Uncle, has been breaking the rules. The lifeguard has advised them that Forest is not to climb the slide or the wall!

Forest came down with the flu yesterday. After breakfast he just wanted to go back to bed. Not his usual self at all! When I changed his diaper he had a fever of 102.6° F! He slept through lunch, and then I took him in to the doctor. She confirmed the diagnosis with a nasal swab and prescribed Tamiflu and NSAIDs. He’s been up and down today. It’s frustrating for him that he can’t play for very long without getting tired. Hopefully he’ll be better in a couple of days!

Waiting to see the audiologist.

We celebrated Forest’s second birthday today at home. One of Forest’s favorite gifts was this tricycle! Forest helped his Mom bake a wacky cake.

Forest loves this disk and rarely listens to anything else. Lately he’s branched out into Dead can Dance, George Winston, and Buena Vista Social Club.
