Back In The Land of the Living!

Landon is feeling much better now and we are starting to function normally except for the fact that he's teething and getting up at 5 am. At least he's not coughing all night any more! These are the few pictures I've taken in the last month.

My boys helping me with laundry!

Very helpful, indeed!

This was the spectacular view from the entrance of our subdivision after our brief snow.

It was just too beautiful to pass up getting a picture!

One more view!!

And last, but certainly not least...... During Landon's most recent bout of sickness, he decided that he no longer liked to eat carrots, which is evident in this video. All the books say to keep trying to feed them foods they refuse to eat, so I did.....rather unsuccessfully, I might add! Please note the dramatic gagging.

Sickness, Yet Again

I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day, where the poor man keeps re-living the same day over and over......I hated that movie. It drove me crazy because I never knew when it would end. That's kind of like the sickness that has descended on our home. We're going on week number 3 now, and I'm so over it!! Landon got it first, the coughing, sneezing, misery, etc. He was better the following week. Then at some point Mike and I both got it (and are still trying to get completely over the coughing portion)...and as luck would have it, Landon now has it- or something else AGAIN!! For a couple of days, we put Bailey in charge because he was the only one who wasn't sick! I have completely disinfected every stationary surface in my home with Lysol. Yesterday, Landon and I spent 2 hours at the pediatrician's office and left with 3 prescriptions...one for pink eye (oh yeah!), one for an ear infection, and one for the croup! That doesn't include anything for the diarrhea he had for over a week. The doctor seemed to think the pink eye, ear infection, cough, and diarrhea were caused by the same bug. His pink eye doesn't really look like traditional pink eye, but that's what we're treating it as. Unfortunately for my faithful blog followers, I have no cute pictures or videos to share, just a prayer request for good health and a little extra sanity. Oh my, summer can't possibly come soon enough!

SNOW!!!!

Sunday we finally had some snow in Georgia. I had given up hope of Landon actually seeing some snow before his first birthday. Our family and friends north of us who have had more than their fair share of snow this winter may laugh at our piddly little amount. To that I say, it's white and frozen, so it counts even if it was just a dusting and stuck around for all of 45 minutes !!! As you can see, my boys thoroughly enjoyed watching it come down from their perch in my kitchen window.

More Snow watching

The best hideout in the house!! Landon has invaded

Bailey's command post. This is where Bailey

"observes" my parenting skills during the

day. Now, it's their version of

Mike's "man cave". Please note the messy pile of

books next to them on the floor. This was neatly stacked

before Landon got a hold of it, which is usually the

first order of business when he crawls under the table for a visit!

And finally, Landon's first snow song and dance.

Please note that the temperature inside our house was a

balmy 76 degrees while my sniffling, sick child was sockless.

His pants are rolled up for the flood because he's wearing

12 month clothes now due to his height. His waist is still

small (wish I had that problem!) and the pants fall down

when he crawls, causing a slip and slide hazard on the hardwood

kitchen floor. I need some baby suspenders!
