Our little Onyx has been sick. (For all of these pictures we had to wash the snot off of his face first.) Poor guy sounds like a little pug because he has congestion both in his chest and sinus so he can hardly breath. Nights have been restless with lots of coughing. To top things off I accidentally got him to close to the crock pot a few days ago and burned his little hand. Despite this all he has maintained good spirits and has not even been fussy. What a trooper! He is very fascinated with his hands right now and will stare and stare at them as he moves his fingers. He also is able to maintain a sitting position independently which makes me a little sad. I mostly just hold him still because I'm just not ready!
My mom got Onyx a little tuxedo off of ebay. He looks so so cute in it but we seldom have an occasion for him to wear it. Last night we decided we would all get dressed up and have a nice dinner somewhere. (Then I would also have somewhere to wear the gold necklace Leon got me for Christmas.) We tried several restaurant, but there was an hour wait at each which we didn't think was wise with a baby so we ended up at Perkins eating meatloaf. :) Neither Perkins or meatloaf are on my list of favorites, but surprisingly both were absolutely fantastic and we really had a good time.
