Brushin' his teeth so they *SHINE*

Zayne LOVES brushing his teeth SO much! If you go into the bathroom or even just into the laundry room you know he is RIGHT behind you and before you can get the door shut he is already pulling his stool up to the sink. It is a cute thing, but can get annoying, Haha. Here are some pictures I took yesterday of him. ENJOY!

Croup

So my baby boy got his 1st real time being sick last week... broke my heart! He had been kinda feeling sick the day before, but figured it was him teething, so when he woke up at 6:30 a.m. miserable and unable to breath unless he was held upright I knew he was sick, I gave him some medicine and he feel back asleep. Well when he woke back up at 11 wheezing and coughing that sounded like a dog bark I knew he was sick. The doctor told me to bring him in, so I did. I started crying while waiting in the room for the doctor, cause he was just wheezing and his oxygen level was low, all I could think about was how I knew how he felt, growing up with asthma I remember the feeling of not getting enough air to function, broke my heart. I just held him while he laid there thinking about how I wish I could take this from him. The doctor came in and said it was croup and gave Zayne a shot of a steroid to help the swelling in his throat go down so he could breath. By that night he was the energizer bunny! He had slept all day so of course at night when he started feeling better he was wanting to play. Let's just say the next morning he was better. Zayne is such a healthy baby. He never gets sick and when he does it only last a day or two, I am so lucky!

1st Happy Meal

So our day at the park got rained out the other day, so to make the day somewhat special I got Zayne his 1st Happy Meal from McDonalds! Growing up I remember loving Happy Meals and going to McDonalds, so this was a special day. Plus Zayne is in LOVE with Shrek right now so the fact that the box and toy were Shrek made it that much better...

So we came home and had an indoor picnic eating his Shrek Happy Meal and watching Shrek... It was a GREAT day!

(Ya, Courtney had to throw herself in this picture haha, typical middle child syndrome!)

Finally a nice WARM day!!

Today was so NICE and WARM! I loved it. I put sunscreen on Zayne and we went out to play. Zayne did his outside chore 1st, which is watering the flowers, he LOVES that chore. Haha. Then it was play time, trying to CLIMB trees, sliding down the slide and playing in the dirt. Can't wait for more Warm days outside with my boy!

Scary Morning...

So today while I was showering and Zayne was playing in his jumper I heard him gagging, so I looked out and saw him with a mouth full of Gel. So I jumped out of the shower and scooped the gel out of his mouth and rinsed out his mouth, mind you I was naked with shampoo still in my hair, haha. I was freaking out so I looked at the package and it said to contact poison control immediately, of course, why wouldn't it?! So I ran downstairs and called and the man said to take him to the E.R. cause the Lidocain can cause seizures if ingested. Lovely. So called my mom and we took him in. The most embarrassing part, it was Bikini Zone Gel, haha. Well they hooked him up to the monitor to make sure he was having heart problems from it, he was fine. So we headed home.

I guess it is time to really kick it into gear and child proof the whole house. Better safe than sorry. I feel horrible about the whole thing, but I gotta remember, it was bound to happen, all kids get into things they aren't suppose to, thank God it wasn't something more serious, I am just thankful my little boy is safe.

^MoHaWk^

So I finally cut Zayne's hair into a Mohawk. I have been wanting to do this forever! Here is a picture of him in the morning when the hawk isn't done........

And here is a picture of him with it done. Gotta love his blue eyes in this picture. He looks so cute with it done. He was a big hit a church on Sunday!

So Zayne went on a walk with his Grandma and I decided to join them so I started running towards them from behind and Zayne looked back and lost his balance, resulting in his first big owie... poor kid....

Luckly he walked it off like a big boys and continued on with his day....Don't ya just love this picture...
