Rhett's birthday present

Today was my 30th birthday, or as my brother Larry says, I have entered my 4th decade. I pointed out that at least I was just starting my 4th decade while he's now on the far side of it. :)

Rhett started running a fever Wednesday afternoon, so Donnie stayed home with yesterday and took him into the doctor once the fever wouldn't go down. It turns out that Rhett has his first ear infection, but the doctor said you wouldn't know it by how happy he was acting!

They gave him some antibiotics and we kept him home from daycare today, since he was still running a fever. I worked from home, and we had such a nice day together! After getting some work done in the morning, Rhett and I met Larry, Chris, and Jenn for lunch at Chuy's since his fever had started to go down. It was so nice to hang out with them. Thanks again for lunch, guys!

After lunch, Rhett and I came back to the house so he could nap while I worked some more. Once he got up from his nap, Rhett wanted to show me my birthday present....

He can sit now!!

He's been sitting with some help for about 3 weeks, but today he sat all by himself for several minutes! According to my books, babies don't normally sit this well until 7-8 months, so he was pretty proud of himself :)

Playing with the catapillar he got for Christmas. He loves the songs it plays...

And laughing at his best friend Jasmine...

When Donnie got home from work, he took us out to dinner and then we hurried home so we could get Rhett to bed. It was such a nice birthday and I feel so blessed to have Donnie and Rhett in my life. I can't wait to experience my 30's! :)
