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!

Promise and crawling

I promise I'm going to sit down and do a whole blog post, maybe even this evening after the boys go to bed, but this has been one crazy week! Both boys have been sick and I just haven't made my way downstairs to my computer. Photos have been taken and will be blogged ASAP, I promise.

For now, I leave you with this sweet, sweet video. My littlest man "crawling" to me :)

Spring is getting closer

 

Last Thursday, the weather was super warm! Jon came home early and we played outside with Gav, B was napping. No jackets! Gav got out his pedal tractor. We had fun!

Friday, I had a newborn session :) So much fun! I’ve shared them on FB.

Saturday, B and I were in Columbus for the day and went to Sara’s baby shower. I only have a few photos of Sara opening gifts. But, I did take some pictures!

Sunday, I stayed home with the boys while Jon went to some farm show. That night, Gav finally came home after a weekend with his Papa and we read Horton Hears A Who and let him sleep with us. I only have a cell photo because I didn’t want to ruin the moment.

Monday, the boys and I went to Target :) We love that place. Brock just rode in the cart like a big boy and Gav got a new pair of shoes for $4.48!!! Amazing, huh?

Tuesday, I had just bragged about how B’s skin was getting better thanks to Mary Kay’s Extra Emollient Night cream. Then he woke up from his nap with a rash all over his face. He still looked cute, so I took a few photos of him.

Gav watched TV and used the Boppy pillow to get comfy. Like his tattoos? Oh, and his gorgeous blue eyes?

My serious little guy :)

Later, Gav was a little stinker. He got in B’s swing… not a good thing. Then, he decided to try to lick my cup and drink my water!

That night, B fell asleep in the swing after bath. Just a short nap ;) I was reminded of when we first got the swing and he was a month old. Here’s the photo for comparison. Can’t believe it’s been 6 months since that first photo in the swing! He’s grown sooooo much!

After his little cat nap, he wanted to play with Boss. Boss was not interested.

Gav thought I needed a photo with all 3 of them. Ignore the living room.

Third change of clothes for the day ;) Love those blue eyes!

He told me he wanted to hug Brocky, so I got ready with the camera. Just in time for him to tackle Brock. Brock’s face is HILARIOUS!

When Gav woke up Wednesday, he had some CRAZY hair! (Yes, he’s still wearing the shirt from the day before. It’s new and it’s Spiderman. He wants to live in it).

Wednesday was a fairly nice day out, so Gav got dressed to go out. Notice the different boots both on the wrong feet. Dork.

Some of my favorite photos are bath time photos. So fun! So, Thursday night, I took some. I plan to frame these and put them in the bathroom. I have an old photo of Gav in his bathroom that needs replaced.

I love bath time eyelashes :)

Look at my baby, sitting up in the tub!

After bath, it was bottle time. I thought B looked so sweet with his bottle.

Wednesday night, we went to Jon’s coworker’s house. They let B have this Munchkin mesh feeder/teether. He liked it with apples, so today we tried it with mangos. He liked it for a bit, then he wasn’t liking them too much.

We’ve got a busy weekend coming up! I’ve also got some fun ideas for a photo session with B :) Maybe we’ll do that, too!
