HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAS!

Jonas (and I) haven't slept in 2 nights. His teeth are bothering him. He's getting one, possibly 2 on top. Unfortunately he also had a temperature last night of 102.7.

He doesn't seem like it's bothering him too much but he is drooling a lot more and playing with his tongue quite a bit. ( Read more... )
