Sick Baby :(

It seems like Jack waits to get sick until it is the middle of the night or on the weekend. This time, it was on the weekend. He started getting sick Thursday of last week, but me, being the queen of "oh he'll get over it" didn't really worry about it. Then Friday he started running a fever of 101.6, and Tylenol only brought it down to 101.4. Not much improvement. So by Saturday afternoon, he was a complete disaster with a temp of 101.9. We called the doctor and they said to bring him on in. We spent 3 hours in Urgent Care where they subjected my poor baby to chest x-rays and catheters, only to determine it was a sinus infection. So they've got him on anti-biotics and things he's been feeling much better!! Unfortunately, this funk has been passed on to me, so now I'm the one wanting to sleep and be held. Oh well!!

Turn on your speakers!!

David Cook's version of "Always Be My Baby" is my new favorite song. Mariah's version has always been a favorite, but HOLY COW. I'm now a die hard David Cook fan which is funny because I've been pretty anti of him from the begining. But since he sang this version, I think I can overlook the emo hair and tight jeans. He's got my vote!! So turn up your speakers and enjoy!

Braves vs. Dodgers

Jack went to his first Braves game Saturday. We were 5 rows from the top (and I mean the top top) behind home plate. We were in the shade and had a perfect view. We had the pleasure of sitting behind some drunk college kids (always) whom I had to politely ask to stop smoking. Hello!?!?! No smoking zone people! I felt like such a mother. But Braves won and it was a great game and we even got to see ol' Andruw Jones playing again too. Too bad he was playing for the other team. Anyway, here's some pictures of our outing!
Jack's outfit says "play ball". Too cute I know. :)

Life lately...

So it's been a while, so thought I'd just report what has been happening in the Rusch house lately.

Jack has started laughing and rolls around like a mad man. He loves having his pants off and chews on his toes all day long. We've just started him on rice cereal and he acts like we're poisoning him. I just bought to book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child", in hopes of getting this baby to sleep at night, and during the day for that matter. If any of you moms have any advice, or things that worked for you in this area, PLEASE let me know!

Jon and I have a few house project we want to do. Ok, I just want to do them and Jon is protesting. He's still studying hard for the LSAT and is planning to take it in June.

Boring I know, but that's our lives as of late!
