Busy Days

 Ready for the Baptism

Hey, Buddy!! It's been two whole weeks since your DeeDee has had time to post to our blog. I have worked every day for the last two weeks!! School is almost over and everyone seems to need help. There were several days when I could have worked two or three jobs in one day, if that were possible.

You are feeling much better. Your cough is gone...but now DeeDee has it...and your ears are no longer infected. However, last Thursday morning you woke up with a terrible rash. Your mama did not know what it was, so DeeDee stopped at your house on my way to work to look at it. We just couldn't figure out what it was. It looked sort of like early chicken pox, but you didn't have many marks on your stomach and back. They were mostly on your legs. I wondered if you had gotten into a nest of chiggers, but since you were not scratching much, that theory did not make sense either. Since you could not go to school, your mama got you a babysitter for the morning and then DeeDee came over after I was done with work. I took you to the Dr. after your nap. The Dr. said that your rash was a reaction to the Amoxicillin you had been on. No more penicillin products for you. I am so glad that we found out about your allergy before you had a really serious reaction.

 Spots!!

You were a very good boy at the Dr's office. You even grinned at the Dr. a time or two, which is a real breakthrough for you. You weighed 27 lbs and were 2' 8.5" tall (32.5"). You are getting so big!!

On Saturday, you spent most of the day with DeeDee and Papa. Your mama dropped you off at 8:30 because she had a school activity to go to. We ran errands. You fell asleep in the car on the way home, so DeeDee sat in the car and read her book while you slept for about an hour and a half. Then you were ready to play with Papa. You watched him cut the grass...you really wanted to go outside and help him, but DeeDee told you that it was dangerous to be out in the yard with the mower running, so you watched from the door. You ate several snacks and played and played. By 2:30 you were so tired that you were getting unsteady on your feet, so you went down for a nap...you didn't want to go to bed, but once you were in there, you were asleep in minutes.

15 months old...Me and Papa

Your mama came to pick you up to go to Lila's baptism. Mama let you sleep until 3:30 and then she dressed you in clean dress clothes for your big outing.

Papa and DeeDee just loved having you at our house on Saturday. We hope that we can have another special day together very soon.
