Sick Evan

Poor Evan woke up on Friday with a fever of 100.5, so we had to skip the gym and have a morning of crafts at the house. 



And playing in a new sand box from Gigi! Thanks Gigi- they loved it (until they wouldn't share all the parts and had it taken away!). 
Saturday Evan woke up with a fever of 99.9. But he was in a good mood, and the fever was gone without any medicine by 11 am! We still took it pretty easy though! 
The boys cheers-ing their popsicles on the porch! 

LJ LOVES this picture of his red tongue! 
Evan does everything LJ does! Trying to show his purple tongue too!

Sunday morning (Mother's Day), we were still fever free - got to over 24 hours with a happy Evan! We still took it easy though- went for a walk and then headed to the mall for some strolling, shopping, and lunch! 
BUT then poor Evan woke up from his nap with a bad relapse :(  He had a fever of 100.9, and looked miserable! At dinner, he seemed to be getting worse and started asking to go to sleep around 6:45 (we usually go to bed around 7:30!). So we skipped bath and got him into bed. I took his temperature again before bed (and 2 hours after giving him Tylenol), and it had gone UP to 102.5!!! One of the highest Evan has ever had! Poor baby! Woke him up an hour later for some ibuprofen, and he finally cooled off.  
Even though Evan woke up on Monday happy again and fever free, I decided to get him to the doctor just to make sure I wasn't missing something. He was as happy as could be in the waiting room- rocking on horses, playing with LJ, etc...
But as soon as we walked back to the patient room, he started crying so hard! I guess he remembers the doctor's office! He was crying so hard and being so dramatic! I would get him all calmed down when it was just us in the room, he'd be playing and laughing with LJ, and then the doctor or nurse would come in, and he would start screaming and crying so loudly I could barely talk to them! Drama!! 
Evan laughing and happy with stickers.... 

And then someone would come in! 
LJ was such a great helper! He was trying to make Evan happy and self -entertained when needed! 

Doctor did a thorough check and found Evan's chest sounded fine, and ears, throat, and body all looked good. So she decided to get a blood test and found that he had an elevated level white blood cell count (19,000 when under 10,000 is normal). So she wanted to get an X-ray of his chest to check for pneumonia. This was also traumatic as I could not be with him during X-ray due to pregnancy! He was SCREAMING "Mama!! Mama!!" throughout! Only about 3 minutes I wasn't with him, but they were a long 3 minutes for both of us! 

LJ was very excited to see 'Evan's bones and even his teeth' in the X-ray! And turns out he was clear of pneumonia, but probably has a case of bronchitis. He is on antibiotics now, and back to his happy self! Thank God! 

The three of us had a little lunch date at Subway while waiting for his prescription. Apparently these boys LOVE Cheetos!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
