18 month pic! what big boy!

Crazy hair after his bath

Taelin has all of a sudden LOVED to read Dalin's Marine Magazines! it's quite cute!



the last couple of days we have watched our family video about 25 times because Taelin misses his daddy so much!!

another hard day

well, good news....taelin had a blessing last night from my dad and next door neighbor and he has done much better today. no soup diapers and no throw up. so keep the faith that his sickness has left his body!
well after work i came home to take Taelin to his 18 month checkup. i hate these checkups because i feel like the worse mom ever who has to hold down their screaming child while the nurse injects them with needles:( well he got a toy story sticker and a bouncy ball afterward, which made him very happy1:) so here are his 18 month stats
weight:20.2 lbs (-5%)
length:31.25 (25%)
head: 46.5 (25%)
o because he is dropping in the charts with his height and weight we had the great time of going over to st. lukes to get some blood drawn for some test:( Taelin was of course all smiles and flirting before we get called to go back...then the worse began. He had to get blood drawn from his tiny little vein:( I of course had to hold him, which was very hard for me. From the moment they got that needle in his vein to the time it got pulled out he was SCREAMING AND CRYING. It was very difficult. I hope they got enough blood so he doesn't have to go in again. They gave him a toy afterward that made him very happy!
Taelin took a great afternoon nap and is all smiles! He misses Daddy like crazy! Glad daddy comes home soon...and for a very long time!

So Sad

It all started 2 weeks ago when my little baby boy of 17 months old woke up with throw up all in his crib and all over his body. We gave him some pedialyte and some toast, and he was feeling much better. He then would have diarrhea after diarrhea diapers, and would still throw up in the middle of the night. Well, it went on for about a week, so I called the doctor to see if we should bring him in. During the week Taelin never had a fever and acted totally fine. He would run around, jump, play with his toys, go on walks...you would have never known that he was sick. Well the doctor told me to give him lots of pedialyte and to just make sure that he was having wet diapers still. She said that he had viral diarrhea and that he should stay away from other children. Saturday he was feeling much better. But then Sunday he woke up again with so much throw up in this crib and all over his body that we stayed home from church. He had the grossest diaper I had ever seen and he just felt so sick. I felt so bad for him. Sunday night he was not feeling good at all, and you could tell that he was sick, his face was much thinner too and his bum had the worse diaper rash that we couldn't even touch it! We did the brat diet for 48 hours and he was doing much better. So yesterday I gave him a little bit more food than yogurt, toast, bananas and applesauce. I was so happy because he even looked so much better! Well, this morning around 5:00 am I hear him throwing up in his crib, so I go in and get him and he had it all over him again. He had thrown up about 20 times this morning. So I called the doctor this morning at 8:00 and we have an appointment to go see her later today. I hope that they find out what is wrong with him and give him something for it because I hate seeing my baby boy this sick! It just makes me so sad! and he threw up in my hair too...so I'm ready for this to be over. WISH US LUCK!

hard day

Yesterday I woke up feeling pretty crappy, but decided to go to work. I wasn't feeling so hot at work, but made it till 12:00. I came home and had to go out to Gowen for something, then came home and started feeling HORRIBLE! i felt like I was going to throw up any minute. Annette was so kind to play with Taelin. Thank heavens it was Taelin's nap later so I could rest. I woke up and threw up hard core. FELT LIKE CRAP! I am so happy that I live at home so my sisters and mom can watch Taelin when I feel like this. I slept the rest of the night. My dad picked me up some Tylenol PM and I was out!!! I woke up this morning feeling a little bit better but still felt achy, so I didn't go to work. When I got Taelin out of his crib I saw that he had thrown up in the middle of the night! Throw up all over his bed and in his hair and on his clothes!:( poor little man!! I felt so bad for him! And he has had 3 really runny diapers today:( I hope this flu bug goes away soon! Cuz i hate feeling like this! But thank you family for helping with Taelin & Macie when all I feel like doing is sleeping! I will sure miss that while i'm in JAPAN!

We are moving to....

JAPAN!
here we come! We will move in March to Japan and be there for 3 years! We cannot wait! Bring on the adventure!!! :)
