Teething?

It's been a rough couple of days although you wouldn't know it from looking at this video:
VB has been home from daycare for two days now.  My wife has been taking most of the responsibility by taking time off work to be at home.
   VB was running a high fever Sunday night and wakes up pretty miserable with a hacking cough that scares me into thinking she's going to vomit all over the world.  Every hack I squint my eyes dreading what might come up.  So far, though, she's managed to calm back down before it gets to that point.
   The temperature is normal now and based on the stuffy nose, runny stool and jamming her fist down the back of her throat, I am assuming that those 2-year molars are the cause of all our torment.  I looked in there with a flashlight today but sadly, there is no sign of enamel.  I think this means we have a long way to go.  Ibuprofen to the rescue!  She reliably perks back up for a few hours after administering a dose.  Maybe I'll try to get a video of her waking up so we can compare and contrast.
   I love that the ball swishes right through her legs at the end of this video.

Almost 2!

So I decided something a while back.  I decided that a good way to not be an ass is to stop feeling guilty about not writing any blog entries in what feels like forever.  I decided that if I forced myself to spend 15-30 extra minutes each day writing something here, that's 15-30 minutes less time that I could be spending with my daughter and/or wife.  So sorry about your luck... whoever you are.
   That said, here I am now writing at 9:30pm on a Sunday night.  Both wife and daughter are asleep and I probably should be, too.  But I finally thought it would be a good time to say something here.  Especially now that VonBebe is almost 2 YEARS OLD!  (in 4 days)  Seriously, how did that even happen?
   As much as I wanted to keep up with regular entries, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  I made lots of excuses for myself but in the end, I just chose other priorities above this.
   And here are some of those priorities:



Fatherhood has been the best thing ever to happen to me and I think it suits me well.  That and I helped make a pretty stinkin' cute kid.
