I've been MIA....

sorry about that! My little bug man has been battling an ear infection on top of getting teeth. That equals one crabby little boy. He is doing better now, thank goodness! I don't know how much more I could have handled. He has still been waking up, just not as often and for shorter periods. I stayed home with him yesterday and I'm glad I did. I think he needed to just run around the house for the day. He sure is fun these days. I can't seem to tie him down, and that's all right. It is fun seeing him investigating things. His new thing now is climbing. He climbs on everything. Our sitter has a 2 year old and I think that he is just watching and imitating her. It's funny to see him climbing like a monkey boy. Turns out the little peanut is asthmatic like his mom and dad. We had to use a nebulizer on him. He is still horse from it, but sounds better than he did. He is on Amoxicillin for his ear infection. He hates the stuff....I have to practically shove it down his little throat. Here is a pic from his x-ray he got on Monday. Since he is wheezing they wanted to rule out him swallowing something, like a penny. His x-ray tech was a cute blonde and he noticed her the minute we walked in. Go figure. I think that he is going to be a roller coaster enthusiast. Fine by me, Daddy won't ride them with me.

New mastercard commercial....

Bottle of tylenol = $6
Diet Pepsi with Lime 2L = $2
Ability for Momma bear to not bite off someone's head = priceless

That about says it all today. We were up again most of the night because tooth #6 is on it's way. Upper right side is trying to poke it's ugly head through. Poor little man! Mommy needs a mental health day.......



He has cuteness on his side..... lucky lucky boy! =-]

Late christmas presents.....

The month of January has been a little bit busy for me. I'm happy to see that it's gone, just because I worked too many days and didn't spend enough time with my little guy. Boy is he growing too fast. Yesterday he just wasn't himself and I just chalked it up to not getting enough sleep. All he wanted to do was eat and drink. He was waking constantly from his sleep, crying and wanting to be comforted. Last night was no different. He was a pistol from about 2 am until 7 this morning when our daily routine began. I joked with Ryan's mom this morning when I dropped Philip off, that is was Grandma's job to not let him sleep today because he didn't let me sleep last night. Well, what I didn't know is that my baby was popping another tooth. Yep, that's right! Tooth number 5 has made it's appearance, upper left side. I was holding him upside down while tickling him and noticed something white. I took him by grandma's stove and asked her to look in his mouth and sure enough, she said number 5 had poked completely through the skin. I guess my baby had a right to be mad after all! Now I feel bad for not giving him Tylenol when he didn't feel good last night. It's ok if he takes a nap now grandma!

We finally got to pick up the gifts that Aunt Heidi and Uncle Troy sent back in December. Nothing like taking forever to pick stuff up. Philip got some really cute stuff. Here are a few pics of him opening his stuff.


It was hard trying to get him to sit still for me on the couch!


He didn't know what to do, it's like he forgot how to open up gifts!


The music toy was a hit. The clothes he just shoved out of the way to get to the toy that was playing!


I finally got him to hold still long enough for this pic!

Thanks for the cool gifts Aunt Heidi and Uncle Troy. We'll post pics of the clothes soon....they are in the wash right now!
