Another reason to breastfeed

We're sick. It started with natalya. She has a cough that has been lingering for ages. I finally took her to the dr last week and they diagnosed her with bronchitis and gave her an inhaler and albuterol. Meanwhile, Doug picked up a cough, but he seems to be better now.
Then Zachary started with the runny nose, but no cough.

Now I have a horrible cough and congestion. I feel like i am coughing up junk from my lungs, not just out of my sinuses.

I am thrilled that Zachary has only got a runny nose. I am so thankful for breastfeeding, as I know he would have gotten all this other crap if he wasn't getting the immunities from me.

*whew*

We're crawling and sick

Well, it was bound to happen. Once he started crawling he wants down. Everywhere. Trying to keep him off of nasty, filthy, germ-covered floors is just about nearly impossible. So we've been sick a bit.
Actually, Natalya is the one sick right now. She's got a horrid cough that is just really hanging in there- now it's congestion-filled. Poor kid.

Zachary is a crawling fiend. He is FAST too!! When he puts something in his mouth he's not supposed to (which would be ANYTHING he finds on the floor), he will crawl as fast as he can (picture warp speed) in the opposite direction, laughing the whole time you're after him.
He loves balls. Any balls. And he can throw pretty well already! He will throw you the ball if you ask him to. He is getting pretty big. He was at the dr a few weeks ago for his 9 month well baby (had to be postponed b/c he had a fever and rash- random kid bug). And he was 20.5lb and 28" long! My tall kiddos.

(How a 5'3" woman and 5'9" man had two such tall kids is beyond me).

Overall we're doing great. Sorry for the delay in posting. I'll try to have some pics up soon. :)
