because that means spring is on the way. Thank goodness! Don't get me wrong, this winter has been mild for us Nebraskans, but the teasing of 60 degree temperatures is just too much! :)
I am at home today with little Emmett. He has croup, AGAIN. It was bad last night. His wheezing just got worse and worse no matter what I did; I tried going out in the cold and then the hot steam. So, I took him to the ER where they gave him two breathing treatments and some steroids. Once we got home and into bed, it was about 1.5 hours later when he woke me up wheezing. This time the hot steam helped it subside so I was comfortable putting him back to bed. I did not sleep much myself though, as I was constantly listening for him and going to check on him. Today I took him to his pediatrician's office because his seal-like bark was still there. We have more steroids to give him today and tomorrow. We are both tired but at least he will be okay. It was scary getting in the car to go to the ER... I've never had to do that before with either child. The below picture is of him when I went to wake him up for his appointment after a morning catnap.
Cael's class had show and tell yesterday for the first time. He chose to take his 'I-Screamer' monster truck.
Emmett's shirt says "Play date? Text me." Cutie!
Emmett is still army crawling but he gets where he wants to go- all over the house.

It is about time for bigger car seat. He has been waving for about a month now and still has only 8 teeth, which is plenty. Mommy and Emmett still avoid dairy products but Mommy now enjoys some soy and we are on track with introducing the solids.
I know, I know. One day Cael will kill me when he sees this picture. I think he is adorable. He is my Baby Jaguar! :)

A couple of weekends ago the boys and I waited in the car for Mark to run into the store. To keep the boys entertained we took turns trying on Mommy's glasses and taking pictures.
Self portrait... man, my smile is crooked!
Word up Easy - E?! :)
This same say we went to the mall for a short while. Daddy rode with Cael on the carousel. Cael is wearing his 'braska' hat and Daddy's in his Gator gear.
Every time they came around where Cael could see me he would yell 'mommy.' Everyone around enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Emmett patiently waited for his brother. He was asleep when we first got there or he would have had his first carousel ride.
This same day we stopped at the park but it was too windy for Emmett to swing. We did not get to stay long... that's when we went to the mall.
You guys look so happy and fab and your boys are beautiful and are growing so fast...love that even though you are all far away, we can still keep up with your sweet family from your blog !
ReplyDeleteI am so glad it's March, too! We've been eating "picnics" on our balcony all week. I don't think the heat or air has been on in almost a month!! Gonna save some $$ that way!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you can get your boys feeling better. It's no fun to have sick kids!!
Kevin thinks that Cael looks so much like the two of you did as kids! Every time he sees a picture of him he says something like that.
Give me a call sometime. I have mutual tonight, but maybe sometime after your kids go to sleep? I'm home no later than 9pm my time!!
The baby Jacquar is the funniest thing I have ever seen! You are right, he will probably hate there is a picture of him in that get up, but you remind him, you did not dress him up he did that himself! Love the sneeky boy under the high chair. Was he cleaning the floor? The sunglasses on Emmett are hilarious too. Sweet, sweet boys! And Cael looks huge on the horse! Unbelievable! Mom and Dad look pretty good too. Love to all XOXOXOXO
