Day 150: Belly!

10.17.2012

Last night was ROUGH. We put Max down at 7:00 since he was sick all day, didn't nap more than an hour total and was crashing in the highchair at dinner. When we came in for bed at 8:30 he woke up and was burning up with a fever. I decided to undress him and let him sleep with me, hoping he'd cool down and sleep. Not so much. He was so insanely hot and uncomfortable and we literally didn't sleep a wink until I put him back in the crib right at midnight. He slept for 45 minutes and woke up in a cold sweat since his fever finally broke. We did one more round of 45 minutes and by about 3:00 I just brought him downstairs to rock. He was keeping Carl up and wouldn't calm down at all when he tried. I hadn't slept at all so I figured I could at least watch TV. We ended up sleeping on the couch from 3:30-6:30 and I don't know how I'm functioning right now after the last two nights. I had a mini-meltdown on my mom last night because I felt sick from the lack of sleep!

He isn't back to normal today, has no appetite still and felt like he had a fever again a while ago. Ughhhhhhh!

We went back to the hospital today and Carson got his cast off for good. He still has to wear a splint for at least 6 more weeks, but it had made a lot more progress than I expected. I'm definitely paranoid though.....he has a legit broken arm and no cast on it.

These photos were all taken right after we sat down for a nap and Max proceeded to barf allllllll over both of us. Yummy. That's why he isn't wearing a shirt and why he looked so camera-worthy. I don't ever just let him roam around naked, only because it doesn't occur to me, but he is so dang cute naked!
 He's so congested that he's gagging constantly and it finally got the best of him. This is when I love having Carson at this age because he jumped right up to get me paper towels. Well, I asked for paper towels and he got a roll of toilet paper in his panic. LOL
Max loves to torment Carson when he lays down and they were laughing so hard at each other today. (Carson's under that blanket.)

Devastation face



We're deep in the "everything is a phone" phase.

Day 149: We'll sleep someday.

10.16.2012

These kids are seriously sick again. Carson started coughing overnight Friday and was bad through Tuesday morning. He seems to be on the upswing while Max went downhill yesterday morning. 

It took everything I had to get him to nap yesterday after a night of next-to-no sleep. I tried to get him down in his crib which worked for a minute when his eyes popped open and he got a second wind. Sigh.

And one of me and the goofball at bedtime Monday night. He is way into Spiderman all of a sudden so he loves his "new Spiderman spinny toothbrush".

Days 134-148: The big catch up

10.1.2012 - 10.15.2012

I am over two weeks behind on this so I'm going to do a big photo dump and hopefully get back on track! These may not be totally in order, but are all from the last two weeks.

Carson had his very first official school picture day. We didn't have a single shirt other than a t-shirt though. I grabbed this shirt over the weekend and about died at how cute he looked that day. I'm dying to see the actual final photo!

This is my "baby"...... :(


Max got a taste of his first Jamba Juice and I had to pry it away from him after he drank half of it. That straw didn't budge for at least 20 minutes straight!


One glove. LOL


Busted.

Max thinks it's hilarious to give kisses and then yell, "BLAH!" This was a dinner time catch when he was being funny.

Attack kisses.

Playing in the car while waiting for Daddy. CHEESE!!!!!!

I think he was tired.

Max got Daddy all to himself when Carl had Friday off and Carson went to preschool.

1.5-handed claw.

Playing at the mall, library and Little Monkey Bizness.

Up at the butt crack of dawn to go to a photo shoot yesterday. At least it was a gorgeous day!

Helping Daddy pick up all the apples our tree dropped in an instant.

Daddy pile!

Sick boys AGAIN.
 

And a crazy-cute shot from one of my two photos shoots yesterday!

Day 133: Lets go fly a kite

9.30.2012

Carl promised Carson he would take him to breakfast on Sunday morning. We got up and went early, since Carson still always wakes us up before 7am EVERY DAY, even on weekends. This was Max's first time getting to head to the little slide by himself and he thought he was the coolest. 

This McDonald's has two huge tables with Color Wonder paper and markers. So cool!

Grandma Susan got Carson this kite for his birthday and we just now got around to trying it out. Oops. It was quite a hit though and the perfectly windy day to fly a kite! These aren't too bad for shooting blindly into the sun with a cell phone..... I thought they were going to be a total bust.

Buggy's turn!

Day 132: Daddy's helper again.

9.29.2012

Another Saturday with Daddy at the shop, but we got to go help him out at the end of the day. Carson lives to hang out with his dad.

After work and dinner this was the view driving into our neighborhood. I almost didn't get it in time, but it was so pretty!

Day 131: Crazy Hair Day

9.28.2012

Carson's school had crazy hair day, but Carson doesn't have much hair. He requested "spiky hair". So here is the result of spiky hair.

Day 130

9.27.2012

Can't quite seem to find anything from day 130.....
