Silas had a high temp for a few days, getting as high as 104.5! It freaked me out, but it turned out that it was most likely roseola. Roseola is characterized by a high fever for 4-5 days, followed by a rash that lasts a couple of hours or a day or so. He had a rash on and off for one day, a couple of hours on his face, on his belly, on his neck, etc. Then he was back to normal! He was miserable during his fever though, and it made me so sad to see him so tired and unhappy.

With goofy daddy!

Silas - Listen up folks!!



Here is Silas in the pool, giving his speech. He likes to be in the front yard, and yell at all the neighbors, waving his arms like he is giving some very impassioned political speech. Hysterical.

Si, 11 months -- Silas saying "cat"



Hello French Family! I thought it was time for an update on Silas. Here is a video of Silas saying "cat". He is saying some words now, like "hot" (when he sees a coffee cup), "mama", "papa", "dada", "hi", "bus" and "bye-bye". He also barks like a dog when he hears or sees a dog. Whenever he hears an airplane in the sky he looks directly up to find it (my dad likes to show Silas the planes). He is so funny! I am sure his french words will be coming soon, Pierre is very good at speaking only french to Si. :)

Silas has started to walk, although he still doesn't really take off on his own yet. He walked halfway across our living room the night that Faby left...it was a great goodbye present! We were all so excited. He also loves his books and listening to music. His new favorite thing to eat is cheerios and milk.

Silas was very happy to see his grandmere Faby, and they had lots of fun together. He misses her already. We do too!

Well, we miss you all tons and hope to see you soon!

PS- Felicitations Lolo! Nous sommes tres fiers de toi! Quand vas-tu commencer?
