Random Picture Challenge

Time again for a random picture challenge from 4 little men & girly twins! This week it is

APRIL 2008 or 13th folder

42nd picture or 4th if you don't have that many

Since I hardly ever took pictures before the little man was born here is the 4th picture from my 13th folder.

The Park

Once again my poor baby boy has an ear & eye infection. So, once again, he couldn't go to daycare. So, once again, we stayed home. (It was a little embarassing, when we went to the doctor we saw the same one we had seen last week. I guess it was a little vindicating to know that I was right about him having an ear infection, just a couple days early!)

So today we had a nice mommy-baby day together, the medicine started working so my baby was almost back to his normal self.

It was sunny this afternoon, and Dean was kind of cranky, so we decided to go to the park. (I thought the park had swings, it does not. What kind of silly park has no swings?) He has never really been outside & able to play in the grass, so he sat in the grass for a bit & I took pictures. He was a fan of pulling up the little flowers & trying to eat them!

Easter Morning!

Sleep

If I hear one more mattress commercial that claims you can "sleep like a baby" I might punch something. My darling baby boy is usually an "alright" sleeper, we still haven't managed to make it through the night, but 4-5 hours is usually doable.
Then we have nights like last night. I had Finally fallen asleep at around midnight, after feeding Dean so hopefully he would just sleep. So far, so good. Then at about 1:15 he wakes up crying, and crying, and crying. So he and I got up, we sat in the living room, I changed his diaper, we sat in the living room & watched TV. Each time I'd try to go back to bed the screaming started again. Finally around 3 we managed to go back to bed.
Now, fast forward to 11am and baby boy is fast asleep on my lap, dh (who got a great night's sleep) just left for fishing, and I am once again exhausted & awake. I thought it was supposed to get better!!

Friday off

I don't think I ever fully appreciated the beauty of having a day off work until all of the ridiculousness this year. So finally today was a Friday off, and it was lovely to be able to have a guilt free day with D.

I started off by sleeping in till 8:30, thank you son! Then when he was eating he was pulling on his ear an awful lot, so I figured "Great, another freaking ear infection!" & called the Dr. & made an appointment. I was not going to be a terrible mum (again) who didn't notice that her kid had an ear infection or RSV for a week! So...off to the Dr we went. He loves to look at himself in the mirror & play with the paper, so that was fun. We were also in the "space room" and he liked looking at the planets hanging from the ceiling. The Dr. came in and pronounced him to be 22 lbs 3 oz! of healthy boy (though he does have a cold). I breathed a sigh of overprotective relief, and off we went for lunch.

Since we were already near there we went to Chipotle for lunch (& picked up some for hubs). YUM!

Then off we went to get the "big boy" carseat. I had a great time trying to get the ridiculous box into my Civic, but as you can see it is a hit! Makes me sad that he's already too big for his baby seat, carrying him around gives me one heck of a workout.
