rishi has been doing acrobatic nursing poses lately, he can't stay still. he plants himself face down, puts his bottom in the air, sticks one leg up. i'm not quite sure what has inspired this, but it's great for laughs.

rishi hung out with baby derek today but also wasnt feeling too well. later this afternoon he started running a temp. he was very cuddly and while i am sad that he feels badly, i sure did enjoy all the wakey snuggles i got from him. he would switch from happy and playful, to sad and grumpy. he took a super long afternoon nap at home and then in the car. i'm hoping that he feels much better tomorrow. my poor sweet guy.

rishi's big brother decided that he wanted to bring his siblings for his 'sharing day' at school. so i brought rishi and sanji to dee's school at the end of the day. rishi was wiped out from a busy day of playing and teething so he slept thru the whole thing, in the ergo of course ( i could not live without my ergo, especially with a 30 lb 11 month old! ).

so far today, all we have done is taken sis to her ballet class. mostly, rishi isn't a fan. he wants to be in my arms the whole time. i wear him in to the building but then i unbuckle him once we get there, so that i can get sanji into her ballet shoes.

rishi is wearing big bro's beanie here.

rishi took ONE itty bitty step tonight!

tonight was the first evening that i wasn't home during rishi's bedtime. i had to go to sanji's preschool auction, and i was gone from about 5-9:45. both a long and late outing for me. daddy got the 3 littles to sleep without a hitch and just one phone call to check on how long i would be :)

rishi has 3 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom. it seems like he should be getting one on the bottom, with all the fussyness and gum rubbing and drool, but there is nothing in site yet.

today rishi played with baby derek. now that derek can sit up, they have fun facing one another. it won't be long before they are crawling together and then running around after their big siblings. we were blessed with sunshine pouring in our windows so we played in the living room in a little play nook area that we have in a corner near the windows. sanji and rishi are starting to play together with more intention these days. pushing balls back and forth, rishi will chase after her on his hands and knees. you can see how interested he is in everything she does. i love seeing how much my littles love one another, even when they are all driving each other bananas!
