Disgruntal Bunny

"Hmm. I don't have to leave the house like this, do I?

"I don't care if Laylah has outgrown this, and I am your last baby. Get me out of this thing or the bunny gets it"

Playing Around

I just thought that I would post a picture of Jayden playing around in his exersaucer.

Rainforest fun!

What a difference two months can make. When we went to the rain forest in November Jayden was not interest in much other than sleeping and looking at my face.When we went in January it was a whole new ballpark.Jayden was alert the whole time that we were there. Laughed at many of the animals and absolutely feel in love with the turtles. I think he really loves then. We met up with our friend Angela and her daughter Laila. Laylah was enthused to see little Laila and they spent the day together without a single power struggle, like last time.lol. We had a fab day---until we stepped back outside into the cold and my zipper broke off of my coat. I guess you can't win them all.lol

RSV!!!!

Okay so Jayden and Laylah both have RSV(it's a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory system) and it is suspected that Rey and I both had it also. Poor Jay was hospitalized Tues.-Wed. He was just having a hard time breathing. He seems to be improving but we are watching him closely. What seemed like just his first cold sure did take a sharp turn in the other direction. Laylah was saved by the bell. Because, like Rey and I, she has asthma, when a cold appeared we knew what difficulty she would be having and immediately treated her with albuterol and her normal nebulizer pulmicort treatments. Because of this she never had difficulty breathing and avoided being in the hospital. Her greatest discomfort was waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that her brother and father were not at home. She was shaken by this and very unhappy with me for not being able to pull them out of my pocket.

PC

Robbyn will probably have something to add or have or own post but I had to add my view. Last Friday 12/5/08 we got a wonderful call stating that the state has permanent custody of Jay and we can move forward with our adoption of him.

Turkey and Ham

So, If you know my family you more than likely know that our children are very affectionately known as Hammy Ham and Turkey Lurkey. Laylah is Ham because she is simply put, a big ham. When She sees a camera, a smiling stranger or a frowning parent, or a uninterested at the moment Godparent she turns it on. She has been known to create a spotlight if there isn't one and her favorite shows are idol, top model, dancing with the stars, etc. She is a smiling, dancing, singing fool----a total ham---a triple threat. Jayden is our Turkey. This is in reference to his robust love of food, and terrible squawking noises that are made when he doesn't get it fast enough. Even at just 1 day old weighing in at 5 lbs and 2 ounces, Jayden makes it known that he was a turkey, and now at 14 pounds having just turned 5 months old he is still a turkey---Oh course, the cloth diapers that I lovingly launder and use on him add to a turkey like physique. Well, what would any Thanksgiving meal be without a turkey or ham photograph. Laylah is the one with the potatoes and baster, Jayden is the one who can't fit in the dang roaster.LOL---no the stove was not on.

He's on a roll!

I thought that switching Jayden over to homemade, mostly organic baby food would pretty much be a bust but he has once again tricked me---Just like Laylah before him---he loves the food that mommy and daddy makes. Of course he is a turkey so he can't help but gobble, gobble, gobble it up. He's on a roll!
