First of all, I just have to show these pictures!
I was looking through old pics of Jack and found this old pic. He's so tiny!!
Then compared it to this pic from a few days ago w/ Jack in his jammies,
not ready to go "night night", and looking soo much like his daddy (and
also needs a haircut...badly)! So crazy how fast life goes when you
have a kid. Ugh, too fast.
So Jack and I had a bad week a few weeks ago.
He got really sick with a high fever out of nowhere, which I hated =-(. (It brings me back to when I was 12 and had to call 911 when my 2 year old brother, Nathan, had a feveral seizure. I just can't have that happen again.)
I was able to get the temp down after many cuddle sessions (The only positive when a child is sick, any mom would agree: the cuddling), tylenol, and a few luke warm baths. His main words that we communicate right now with are "Baba"-Sippy Cup, "Bebe"-Binky, "No", "Oh No" when he drops something, and "All Done". So we were able to communicate that way, which was hilarious when we had to take his temp with the little butt thermometer...I would stick it in real quick and he immediately said "All done, all done, all done, all done, all done" Over and over until we really were all done. Poor boy!
But then he turned into a super monster baby after his fever went down. He was still in pain somewhere but couldn't tell us where! He can't have been teething, because I swear he has more than enough teeth in there! Something was definitely wrong though, which is the worst feeling ever as a mommy - not being able to do anything =-(. We ended up taking him in to the doc and finding out he had an infection in his mouth and throat. So after 10 days of antibiotics he was FINALLY back to his sweet self, but during that 10 days...that was rough. Just a crabby 10 days for all of us.
So the point of the story is how amazingly in love I am with my little guy! I don't know if it's because we had a bad week which made me sad, and I feel bad about it now that he's back to normal (which is true), but he's just been a super amazing, laid back, sweet and funny little boy! I'm just seriously enjoying every minute, and I can speak for DJ too when I say that!
New thing: We're trying to venture out of Yo Gabba Gabba Land, and those with kids who watch it will understand why =-P. So we recorded some Pixar movies "Tangled" and "Toy Story 3" and he loves them!! Finally, something I don't mind listening to while I'm running around doing my cleaning! I just get Jack some snacks (He has a new word "cackoh" for cracker!), and fix him in his favorite chair ($3 chair Jack found at the grocery store...I knew we had to buy it when he sat in it and didn't want to leave! But he didn't understand that us carrying it the checkout meant that we were taking it home, so he was upset until we got home!), SO I put him in the chair with his "cackohs" so I could quick get some things done without worrying about him ransacking the house! I love hearing him laugh at certain parts, so it doesn't help me with my housework -- it just makes me want to come watch him watch the movie, and laugh with him! Can't get over it.
On another note: I got new things, yay!
I got my hair done! I needed a change sooo bad. Got my side bangs back (from high school) and did a little highlighting to my bottoms! Ps sorry for the toilet paper in the background...we gotta keep that stuff up high unless we want Jack to t.p. our whole house. Still getting used to it, but my hair was so blahh, it needed some umph.
~~K that's all for now!!
Things coming up: Wendover Trip with my Grandma Toni, DJ meeting deadlines and passing classes for his degree to graduate in January (yayyy!), and DJ and I's little getaway to Zions for some hiking!
