10 months old...and a new friend!

Ahh...little man....is 10 months old. He has been with us now longer than I was pregnant, which is baffling, seeing as I felt preggo forever. He is absolutely adorable and makes my life so much better than I could have ever imagined. He now has 2 top teeth, and 2 bottom teeth! Little man has now decided that he doesn't really prefer to sleep during the night! He wakes up around 2 and 4 some nights, and others he just wakes up one time. I'm hoping it just all the teething and crud....because everyone feels better with sleep!! He is crawling like a mad-man now and pulls up on anything. He also loves to pull himself up, and let go with one (or sometimes) both hands. He also loves walking with daddy holding his arms. I can see the future of him walking now...and it will be crazy! He loves playing with his sign each month, but this month I also had to pick the paper out of his mouth, because with one turn of my head...it was in the mouth!!

And now to our new friend....

This past weekend little man was coughing and sneezing, but Joe and I just figured that he was having a typical day care cold! WRONG...Sunday night we noticed him wheezing, and breathing a bit faster than usual, so Monday morning I called the doctor. After two hours in the doctors office, we left with a nebulizer, a prescription for steroids, and were told to give little man breathing treatments 4 times a day. He was wheezing and the doctor said..."Let's give him 4 treatments a day, just to keep him out of the hospital"...WOW that won't make a mama nervous at all. But after one day of treatments we can tell such a huge difference, and he actually doesn't cry and scream the entire time of the treatment. I know he doesn't like them, and neither do I...but anything to make him feel better...or "keep him out of the hospital!"

Oh well...off to bed..gotta get some sleep before the sleeping munchkin wakes up...

Until next time...

Hello, my name is Joseph...

Hello, my name is Joseph....and I'm a swing-aholic! Yes it's true, we do sometimes pull out the swing, and at times it's the only thing that gets this little man to sleep. I am shocked that he doesn't exceed the weight limit, and it still moves...but it does, and he's SO comfortable in it! His feet hang off the end, and he's head takes up the whole pillow...but doesn't he just look so peaceful?? Ahh...sweet baby, how I love you!! Until next time...

Trashy Baby...

So the other night while cleaning, I toss this empty trash bag box towards the trashcan, and guess who found it! He loved it, and played with it for 30 minutes. Again I'll ask myself...why do we spend tons of money on toys?!?! We are trying hard now to eat dinner at the table, all at the same time, as a family! Apparently this just wears little man out. I promise we did wipe his mouth off right after the picture, but I wanted to get him before he moved! HA!!

And this is little man's new thing. He pulls up on anything right now! I cannot believe he is growing up so fast...I really need to find a way to slow it down!

We went to the doctor this week for his check up. His measurements are...

• Weight: 20 lbs, 14 ounces (50%)
• Height: 30 Inches long (84%)
• ((and just to make things funny, I am only 60 inches tall..so he is half the height of me!!)

Until next time...
