Baby diary: 53 weeks
Dec. 18th, 2019 09:55 am Another week, another mystery fever. :P He was supposed to get vaccinated yesterday but that's now been bumped til Monday. I'll keep him home until he sees the doctor on Thursday morning, at which point there will probably be nothing to diagnose just like last week, but my mother is now demanding blood tests.
The birthday party went well! I baked an eggless 6" yogurt cake plus cupcakes (due to an allergy requirement), which frankly was not a success -- too dry even with fruit addition and over-baked -- but strawberry buttercream hides a multitude of sins. The yoga class kids came plus O. and S. with their parents. Alan was befuddled that there were so many people in the house and panicked if I was not in sight, but loosened up after a while and seemed to enjoy himself. Of course, perhaps a first birthday party is more for the parents than it is for the kids.
