Sick baby

So little b-man is sick. Fever started Tuesday after his pm nap and spikes whenever the tylenol or motrin wears off. He is nursing lots and drinking juice, so that is good. Not so interested in eating, which is not surprising. We took him to the dr this morning since it had been over 36 hours with a fever (it is hovering between 100-102). He was not overly concerned since he is taking in liquids and has wet diapers. He checked his ears, throat, and looked him over - just thinks it is a virus, but asked us to keep watching him (obviously). He mentioned he could break out in a rash when the fever breaks or it could end up being an ear infection, but as of this morning, it was just a fever with no other symptoms. We are glad about that, though it is hard to see the little guy not feeling well. He wants us to hold him and he just kinda hangs out - yesterday he played a lot - today not so much.

His big birthday bash is Sunday, so good we'll hope all is well sooner rather than later!

Wordless Wednesday - My Haircut (before and after)

Playing Ball

So our new fun game is playing with the ball. I am not sure if Brennan realizes it, or maybe he does, but he likes to "throw" the ball at us! We sat in a circle tonight and bounced the big red bouncy ball around. Brennan was lift it high up and then RELEASE! And it would come toward me and I would throw it to PJ and he would roll it to Brennan and then we would start over. It was so cute. I noticed it for the first time the other night when he was playing with a little ball and he would throw it at me, and when I passed it back, he kept tossing it to me. I love it - such a little athlete!

Good Weekend!

Such a fun weekend -
Went to a first birthday party - alll B wanted to do was eat tamales and climb up the hill then scoot down! Then he volunttered w/ mom at the "Lactation Station" @ the state fair. Dad met us after our shift and we enjoyed seeing the horses, pigs, and sheep. B-man was totally into it! Of course he loved the funnel cake!

My first haircut

Last night mom and dad trimmed my hair - it was about time! My bangs were in my eyes and finally we all had enough. They didn't want to pay for a haircut this time, so we tried it at home. I was a wiggly worm, as usual - and mom and dad spent over an hour trying to trim my bangs - from the bathtub to my crib to someone holding me to sitting on the floor - we sang songs, recited books, and tried to keep me still. No such luck. Mom did a little more in the tub tonight. They did a great job on my first cut - maybe next time they'll take me somewhere...

Taking steps soon

Brennan will be walking soon - PJ saw him stand up without assistance last night - that is amazing! And now he can push his push toy all over the house while walking! I did finally decide that maybe wearing shoes more often should be the case, so he wears his Robeez to daycare now - which is good b/c they spend a lot of time outside and Brennan doesn't really like the feel of the grass, but he LOVES to crawl and stand and walk around and pick things up.

I can't believe he is going to be one in just a few weeks - where has the past year gone? We are going to have a little family party for him in Evansville - the STL crowd will be coming which is so wonderful. Mema is making Brennan his own little cake so that he can DESTROY it with his chubby little hands (chocolate of course - at least that's what Brennan requested!).

Wordless Wed - on Tuesday!
