Oh Where Oh Where Has My Baby Gone?

It seems like not so long ago, I was showing you the boy’s new Bugaloo shoes….fast forward 8 months and here’s a pair that will actually see some wear!! You can’t really see the design–they are puppy dogs–the boy isn’t much for posing these days. He’s more of an on-the-go sort of boy…at least until we strap him in somewhere. He’s partial to the swing at the moment. He’s is all about cruising the house and climbing the stairs these days. I’m very glad that these shoes have a brown sole–could a boy like this really have any other color for more than five minutes? (Photo above, 11.5 mos old, below at 4.5 mos old)

Not the brightest jewel in the box…..

Have I mentioned Jr. is a big fan of sleep?? Or should I say that he prefers snacking to sleeping, given the choice??? After a brief stint at sleeping through the night (the only memory I have of it is the mention I give it on this blog, really), he’s been back to waking up at least once, if not twice a night. EVERY NIGHT. (note: he just turned 11 months old)

So anyway, I’m not a very bright light these days. The obvious is no long a given for me.

Last night, we went to a race party at “the Pink Tower”. A big tent, free food, free drinks, music on a gorgeous summer night. Heaven. But I noticed something: armed security. I found it strange that the valet parking guys were armed. The doorman into the jewelry store was armed. The security guys inside tent were armed. It took me a good 15 minutes to put it all together.

(if you haven’t figured it out yet, go take a nap and think on it. I’m going to try for mother/son nap time this afternoon myself…..)

There’s No Place Like Home

Baby boy was released this morning, and is currently napping with Daddy. Thankfully, he improved over his stay, and the doc said it will be a few more days before he’s 100%. Basically, babies can get these respitory viruses which are wicked because like any cold virus, you can’t really treat/attack the virus, it has to run it’s course. And when it’s in your lungs, it’s a little scary. But while he was there, they gave him no drugs whatsoever, and he was no worse than in the ER the day before where they gave him 3 treatments in 3 hours.

The other tidbit she shared with me today is the it’s not uncommon for kiddos to get a bacterial infection a week or two out after he gets better from this viral infection. With his immune system weakened from the virus, bacteria can then move in and cause ear infections, strep or pnuemonia.

AWESOME. Do they sell Clorox Anywhere by the gallon?
