First high fever....38.6 = 101 and Mamma

I guess these were a few more memorable days. Matteo had his first high fever where his body temperature hovered around 38...at his highest from when I measured it was about 38.6. The doctor didn't think it was his teeth because it lasted over a day and instead felt it was a virus. Though his canine teeth are sprouting and one definitely has cut through the gums.I know Matteo will go through a few viruses over the next few years as his little body builds its immunity, but it was very scary as I did not get much sleep on Thursday night as I checked on him regularly worrying that it would go up instead of down. The tylenol just brought it down to 38,3 ...

This morning, Saturday, he work up and his body temperature felt normal. I checked his temperature at noon and it was normal. He had little energy in the morning and was very clingy not wanting me to put him down but by the afternoon he was energetic, and playing on his own, and giving me lots of smiles.

At dinner he surprised me by calling "mamma" and pointing to the cheese, instead of just making noise and pointing to the cheese. He has been saying mamma for a few weeks now but not really using it to call me though when someone asks him who is his mamma he did look at me. Yet calling me mamma to get my attention was very special and he was very proud of himself when I enjoyed the moment so much!...Technically it is his first word. He sort of says bus with a loud "uh" when a bus goes by, but he does that for big trucks too!!...so not sure if he is saying bus but I think he is only he thinks it means large vehicles. So a few days to remember, the not so great fever days but the great mamma day today!!
