Slap cheek is a funny name for it! He was covered in red spots. We have a photo of him with it on his site. And yes it is contagious - around the time they have the fever is apparently the most contagious time. I don't know who he caught it from. But it is common only between the age of 6 mnths and 2 years.

Al is all over the place here now...he is no longer where I last saw him. He is commando crawling and rolling around everywhere. And trying to get into everything. I have a job to do with childproofing here. Al can sit on his own too, but this has only happened a few days ago. Before that he couldn't balance very long on his own.

I am still BF, seems like around the clock! But I hope now we're back home, we can get into a bit more of a routine and finally start to ween him off. I am over the leaking boobs!
