sick little baby

Other than a few running or stuffy noses, Gordy has been a relatively healthy baby - until today.  He spent the better part of his morning throwing up, sleeping and laying limp in my arms.  Finally at lunchtime, he had his last puke and then we both slept for two hours.  No vomiting since, but a 100+ fever and a hot body to the touch.

There were moments when it appeared as though he'd forgotten that he was sick, so he would slide off the couch to go get a book and was quickly reminded how much his body hurts.  So, he'd stop all movement, look for one of us, and whimper to be picked up.  
His swing seemed to be the only place (other than in our arms) that he was happy to spend any amount of time...
Mostly, he just slept.
It's crazy how small being sick makes him seem - our poor little baby!
