Ready for the Holidays!!!

So far so good this season, other than some aggervating sinus infections Seth has been doing really well and is steady growing and learning. Having him in "big boy school" has just been blowing my mind. He is learning things so quickly, like counting backwards!! I can barely do that! He just impresses me more and more every day. And he is very ready for Christmas, everytime a commercial comes on he's yelling OOO I WANT THAT! He has quite a list, Santa will be very busy and very broke:-)

Another Sinus Infection

We went back to the doctor yesterday for a little check up and to get SHOTS!!!!! First things first his PFT's were 108% so we were doing our high numbers dance. But somebody tell me how him growing an inch and losing a pound takes his BMI from 54% to 32%??? He was coming in for a check up from his last two week antibiotic treatment for a sinus infection and it turns out he's gonna be on another antibiotic because we just can't seem to clear his little head up.
So here comes the shot, he knows it's coming because we've been talking about it all morning, and he's gotten to where he really hates shots and acts a complete fool to try an avoid it. So the nurse comes in and he lets his body go limp and starts sweating and crying immediately. He's waiving his hands and saying "wait wait can't we talk abou this". I try to comfort him and talk his down but he's being so rediculous that me mom and two nurses hold him down. He's setting on the edge of the bed with mom holding his legs I'm setting to one side of him holding his arm and keeping his head turned away from the needle and the nurses are on the other side holding his skinny little arm still (to be in the 32% BMI percentile he's REALLY strong). So we're telling him he's gonna get an ice cream and what will make this better, how can I make you happy and just as the nurse sticks the needle in he yells A TOY! We giggle and start putting on the band aides and all and he shrugs his shoulders and says, "that didn't even hurt". This child is just too much for me!

Happy Halloween!

We hope ya'll had a wonderful Halloween I know we did! Since we have such a large family and lots of little ones we thought we would try something new this year so I had Seth and Dylan help me decorate their dads trailer and we went hay ride style! We had such a blast and were able to hit up so many houses without the kids getting overly tired (last year dad and Kevin had to take turns carrying Seth cause he tired out so early!). We had 16 people total plus one very cute dog! And my baby gets so excited and wants to be the first of the kids to get to each door that on three different occassions he ate the dirt! Two ditches and one time I think his own foot!! However neither one phased him, he just jumped up and kept going! Gotta love little boys ;)
