Photos from Texas...

I didn't take very many photos in Texas - whoops!

Video dump!

I realized that I haven't uploaded videos in a while!

He says "momma" in this next one :)

Stuck...

Peyton has added another word to his vocabulary - "stuck". And he was indeed stuck when he said it - P managed to wedge himself in between the wall and our couch. P and I are headed to Texas for two weeks starting this coming Wednesday! Casey has a Criminology conference the week after next and thought he may be having an interview this coming week so I decided to head home to see family. I didn't want to be stuck in PA by myself for a while after the disastrous week we had when he left the last time!!!



"This is my head..."


As Liz Lemon would say, "Blerg".




"Oh Daddy, you're the funniest..."




Poop face!

My son is a spaz.

Peyton is becoming more verbal little by little. His favorite word is "hot" - he says it before he puts any food in his mouth and also runs up to the space heater and says it (and then touches it). He also tries to say "truck" quite frequently but it always comes out as "guck". He's starting to be able to point to things when you ask him to find something (he found his eyes and mouth today!) but it isn't always fail-proof!! Casey asked him where his penis was and he pointed to his nose....hahaha.







Funny bunny!

What a week!

Casey left this week for an interview at Purdue (which went well), but while he was gone I had a heck of a time! Peyton had a temperature of 102.4 on Tuesday night, so I made an appt. for him with the Pediatrician on Wednesday morning. At the appt., they diagnosed him as having an ear infection in both ears and prescribed Amoxicillin. Wednesday evening, Peyton's fever shot back up and I went in to check on him at about 10 PM. He was breathing very fast and very shallow so I took him out of his crib and checked his temperature (103 degrees). He was super lethargic and hard to awaken so I made the decision to take him to the ER. We got to the ER about 10:30 or so and were quickly ushered into a room. They put Peanut on oxygen (his oxygen levels were in the 70's range and they said they like it to be around 100) and he started to breathe more regularly. All of the commotion was freaking the little peanut out though so he began to cry and hyperventilate which lead him to throw up several times (on me, of course). They took blood and set him up with IV fluids (they had to strap his arm down to a board to keep him from bending his arm or pulling his IV port out). I laid down on the gurney so that he could lay on top of me and hopefully relax. He had a chest X-ray taken (he had to sit in this little chair while I held his arms up) and then we went back to our "room".

Anywho, Peanut was diagnosed with pneumonia and given an antibiotic through his IV (he slept for 20 minutes at some point in between all of the crying). We were sent home at 2:30 AM and the Peanut went back to sleep. It was quite the rollercoaster of a week!!!

We went back to the Pediatrician on Thursday and got a prescription for a new antibiotic. He spent the whole entire day in my lap or on the couch on Thursday (poor little guy felt so puny). He's definitely regaining his energy and is returning to his happy little self.

He's been rocking some crazy hair lately!
