Two little sicklies

This has been a super long week. Brock has been sick for what seems like FOREVER! Last Saturday, I ended up taking him to Children’s Mercy Urgent Care because his breathing was horrible. They found he had an ear infection in each ear and gave us antibiotics for that. They took a chest x-ray and all looked clear, so they had us continue with the breathing treatments with Albuterol. Joy. Thankfully, my dad came to spend the day with Gavin while I took B to the doc.

Let me rave about Urgent Care for a bit :) I love that place! This was the 2nd time we had to take B there for breathing issues. The nurses and docs are fabulous!! There is a nurse in the room every 15 minutes and the doc about every 30, if not more often! They were so busy that day and I still felt like they truly cared about Brocky :) I didn’t feel like they were just trying to get us out of there, like I’ve felt in the ER before. I don’t want to go back there ;) but if we ever need to, I know we are in the best hands.

Here are a few photos from Urgent Care. Doesn’t he look so pitiful in the 1st one?

Sunday, we had pancakes for dinner. B loved them, so I gave him one to chew on :) Look how happy he is!

Then, Gav was jealous of B. He wanted pictures, too.

Monday, we had to follow-up with our regular pediatrician about B. He was not feeling well at all that morning. Poor guy just kept crawling around and laying his sweet head down.

Well, we spent almost 3 hours at the doc and came home with two new meds, on top of the 2 we all ready had. More breathing treatments.

Look, someone got a new mask! This one’s a dinosaur!

Although B has been sick, you’d never know it. He’s been so happy and learning new things :) He’s now very mobile (see prev. post) and he can go from a crawling position to a sitting position and back! Here is how I found him Tuesday after his morning nap! I love this… boogers and all!

Silly Gav.

Wednesday, Gav woke up with a fever, cough and sore throat. Most of the morning, you couldn’t tell he didn’t feel well though. He was pretty crazy. That changed very quickly though.

Airbrush ;)

My miserable little guy. Look at those rosy cheeks :(

This makes me laugh. B was in the jumperoo and I was going to take his photo when he jumped! This is how it turned out! Peek-a-boo!!

Thursday, crashed on the floor.

Spiderman :) size 2T, actually.

Let’s pray that next week brings me healthy boys!

Warm weather and breathing treatments

 

Last Thursday, the weather was FABULOUS! Like, think 70ish degrees! In February!!! We went to “the airplane park” close to our house. There’s a small airport that has a  park by it ;) It was a little muddy, but we had a good time!

I turned around to see B laughing at the wind and sun! I turned him around ;)

Perfect size goal for Gav!

Friday, we spent most of the day shopping for birthday goodies and just getting ready for the big party. *See post below

Gav loves the self-timer on my camera. We played with it a bit. This was the best we got. I need a good tripod ;)

Papa came and stayed the night. B loves him. The weekend before, my dad came and B acted like he didn’t know him. Papa’s heart was broken. I think he made up for it this weekend :)

A new fave of Brock! I think it will be printed for the bathroom :)

Believe it or not, Gav can tell you almost every letter and their sounds! He’s so stinkin’ smart ;) Thank you Letter Factory! He’s a little obsessed. This toy is one of his new favorites.

Ignoring me

#1. Yes, that’s a hotdog in his hand.

#2. Yes, the train table is in our dining room.

B was a little under the weather, so I took him to the doc on Monday. Turns out it was just a virus that settled in his chest. Breathing treatments for 4 days. Good thing he’s happy about it ;)

My little fishy.

I can’t catch it on video (when I do, I’ll post it!) but B is a mover now! Eek!
