Double trouble

Well we are back home now. At the tail end of our visit in Seattle, Emmory started to get sick, and also his two front teeth started to work their way up and out of his gums. This has not made for a pleasant experience. The trip back to Greenville definitely did not go as well as the trip to Seattle, although it wasn't horrible. He just got pretty fussy in the middle of the flight to Atlanta. Since we've been back home, it's been more of the same. He seems fine during the day, but at night he is a different baby, very unhappy, we are both not getting very much sleep. I think I have the same thing as Emmory, as I have been feeling sick as well. To add to the teething and cold, E also got his shots yesterday at his 6 month checkup, and has had a low-grade fever as a result. It is definitely miserable when a baby is sick, there just isn't a lot you can do. I guess we'll just have to tough it out these next few days/weeks and hope things get better soon.
On a positive note, Emmory's 6 month check-up went well. The dr said he looks great and is doing everything she wants him to be doing developmentally. Since he's gotten more active with his jumperoo and rolling around on the floor, his weight gain has slowed down a tad bit. He is 18lbs, 13ozs, down to the 70th percentile. However he continues to grow longer at an incredible rate, and is up to the 95th percentile in length. I have no idea where he gets this from, but I'm sure it doesn't mean he's going to be tall later in life.
I'd like to get some recent pics up of Emmory eating solids for the first time (which at the moment he is completely disinterested in, hopefully just b/c of either teething or his cold and it will get back to normal soon), our trip to Seattle, Haloween, etc, but I don't have time for that right now.
All in all, I have so much to be thankful for even though things have been a little rough lately, and I need to choose to dwell on these things. My mom is here with us until November 13th, and it has been so great to have her here for her company and an extra set of hands.
We had a great visit in Seattle with family, one of the huge blessings of being able to stay home with Emmory is that I have the flexibility to be able to do that. I hope it is something we will get to do many more times, since my family lives so far away.
