Day 109- lots of pictures

Jackson took 6 naps today. 4 of them were 1 hour and 2 were 30 minutes. That medicine is really wearing him out, I'm glad we only have to give it one more day! I'm going to let today's pictures with captions be my post because I was pretty happy with the expressions in the pictures today and I think they tell a pretty good story of our day when Jackson was actually awake.

Good morning Joe Dog

Let me tell you about my night

Please?

Mom, Joe won't play with me :(

I'll get him then!

What? I'm helping you with the diapers!

See I'm a good helper!

Haha- evil face

What? I'm innocent

Mom, Bernie won't play with me either :(

Please, Bernie- I'll be gentle!

He gave me a kiss when he went by

I know you're trying to entice me to crawl with puffs, but this sucks!

Jackson's dinner

Jackson's appetizer- yes he ate the entire can and I didn't get any fruit for dinner

Working on eating rice, though he wore a lot, he did eat quite a bit

Yummy hamburger :)

Way to win some cool stuff

I just wanted to share with you a fun way to win some stuff online. This week there is an online Easter egg hunt. I've already won a bib for Jackson :) For more information and to register go here: http://www.mamaandruby.com/

I was able to complete the hunt in one day- can you beat that? Good luck and let me know if you win anything!

Day 108- Road to Recovery

Jackson's not sleeping well tonight, so it's another short one. He's had a decent day, but has been very cuddly- which isn't like him. So I know he's still not feeling well. The medicine is helping his breathing though- I just wish I could get a few more smiles and laughs out of him. I have been really spoiled by how happy he is all the time.

Tomorrow I have big plans to get things cleaned and done so that I can have fun when my family comes to visit and not feel like I have a million things to do when school starts back up. So Jackson and I will be cleaning machines tomorrow :)

Finally got a smile today

How he spent most of the day :(

Day 107- Back from the ER :(

Jackson started the day fussy and a little hoarse, we just got back from the ER. He has croup and bronchiolitis which is a fancy term for a bad viral respiratory infection. He fell asleep on me this afternoon after lots of short naps and woke up struggling to breathe very well and a 102 fever- so off we went. They got us right in and got him some albuterol and oxygen. His pulse ox was down to 85, but we kept it comfortably above 95 after the steroid and albuterol treatments. He did have to have 2 steroid treatments b/c he puked the first one up all over me. I hate seeing him so sick, but once he was all medicated up and we were home, he was a much happier baby and has been asleep for an hour.

I don't really have a good picture for tonight b/c he was not a happy camper today. So here is what I have from his naked butt time this morning to help with his rash- which is looking way better!

munching on some egg during our picnic breakfast

Day 106- Ready for Easter

We had a pretty good day today despite the bad weather. I can't complain though b/c many people had it way worse than us- praying for them tonight.

Here are a couple of pictures from breakfast and dinner tonight. Jackson had some crazy hair :) Still trying to convince Russell that he's ready for a hair cut.

Attacking his hard boiled Easter egg

feeding himself some oatmeal

holding on tight to the spoon

chewing on the spoon, ready for new teeth

This is at dinner, he continues to shove his mouth so full of food that when he chews it starts to fall out. He was working on a piece of fruit, some noodles, and shark steak all at the same time

Day 105- SPRING BREAK!

It's spring break and Jackson's in bed early, so I'm going to bed early too. Here are some of my favorite pictures from today.

Good morning! Check out that bed head

How Jackson likes to chill in his stroller, watching through the mesh

Still reclining

One of our peach tree has blossoms

Picking grass

Studying the grass

Surviving tummy time

over it

Day 104- 1 more day!

Today is short b/c I'm soooo worn out. Egg coloring went fantastic today, the kids will take them home tomorrow. 1 more day until spring break, no alarm clock, no lesson plans, no extended day. I can't wait to hang out at the park, go for walks, and play with Jackson.

happy baby

love this smile, bummed I cut the top of his head off while trying to make him smile

that train is one of his favorite toys

reaching for things during tummy time- this is progress

what happens after every tummy time

mad face when his train rolled out of reach

over it, he found a new toy
