6 Months Old!


Only six short months ago, my husband and I were blessed to have Tayson brought into our lives. We appreciate him and all the smiles he brings to us. He is such a good boy and such a happy baby and I can't believe how lucky we are to have him. We must have done something right in order to deserve such a wonderful little boy. He makes me smile and laugh hundreds of times every day.



Ok, so I get excited about all things birthday, and also all things Tayson. I realize that it's not his real birthday, but it is a huge milestone for him! 1/2 year old! Such a big boy.



There is a slideshow of ALOT my favorite pictures at the bottom,and I do mean ALOT. There are 60-something.

Cookie Night!

I love watching my nieces, and they came over the other night while their mom went to a party for her friend. Savanna, Kira & I made mac & cheese for dinner (Savanna's favorite), watched Alvin & The Chipmunks, played Aggrivation & made cookies! Here are some pictures from our cookie making.

Poor Little Boy

Here are some pictures from when Tayson was sick. Poor little boy, but I am the luckiest mom in the world because even though he was sick with an ear infection, cough and fever, he was still smiling and happy all night.

... and yes, we still have our Christmas tree up. How sad is that? I've just been too lazy to get the boxes out.

Poor Tayson :*(

So this morning Tayson started coughing. No big deal, I thought he was just choking on his spit a little. Then he did it again. I started to wonder, but not too concerned. So by about 3:30, he had about 5-10 coughing fits, and you couldn't really even call them fits, they were just about 5 coughs at a time. They were dry coughs too, not much to them. Well I called the Dr just to see what they suggested. They said to keep an eye on it, and if it got worse, if he got a fever or started acting lathargic, to bring him in.

I figured I would keep an eye on it until morning, then decide whether I wanted to take him in. Well, when I was talking to the Dr, Tayson was taking a nap. When he woke up from his nap I heard this noise. I wasn't sure it was him. Then I went in, and I heard it again. It sounded like a seal. My poor little boy sounded like he had croupe. All in about an hours time.

So I called the Dr and they scheduled an appt for today at 5:30 (luckily my dr is open that late). I had a Girls' Night planned with some friends and decided to let Shane take him in while I went out and enjoyed myself. The entire time I was hoping he was ok and wishing I had stayed home. Turns out, Dr says he has an ear infection in his left ear, and the cough was from the drainage. So he has a sore throat and an ear infection, but my poor little boy can hardly breath now without wheezing.

Dr gave us antibiotics, said to prop up the mattress, keep an eye on him throughout the night & use a cold air humidifier. Well, we propped up the mattress, gave him a dose of antibiotics & infant's tylenol for the 100.6 fever he had developed and put him to bed. Now Shane & I get to take turns staying up with him throughout the night.

My poor little boy can hardly sleep because he can hardly breathe.

Poor Tayson.

But, I am the luckiest person in the world to have a baby, that through all of this, kept smiling the entire time. Which makes it even harder to deal with him being sick. He's such a happy kid.
