First Antibiotics for both Maddie and Sebastian

We have all been struggling with sickness since the middle of January. Finally, Maddie, Sebastian, and myself were put on antibiotics. In addition, Maddie and Sebastian both had RSV and had to have nebulizer treatments. Sebastian had ear infections in both ears! Poor little guy. What was worse was that Sebastian had a reaction to the antibiotics which cause him to have bloody stools. Our doctor immediately took him off the antibiotics and I just went back for a check-up and all is fine.

All this makes you think, I nurse him and make/give him all organic food so he can have the best diet then I feed him this nasty pink medicine that makes him bleed. I guess you can't always protect your kids.

Maddie is doing fine now, she really liked her bubblegum flavored medicine even asked for more when it was all gone! :) It was pretty amazing that she went more than 3 years without any antibiotics, wish I could say the same for Sebastian. :(

Room Decorations

I had an idea for a craft project for Maddie's room and I am so pleased with the outcome! Maddie was too, she kept giving me great big hugs! It was super cute! Here is a picture of the almost completed project on her wall, above her bed.

Sebastian's First Tooth!

The very tip of Sebastian's first tooth appeared today! He woke up from his nap early and in an awful mood. Poor little guy. A dose of tylenol helped him A LOT!!

This ended up being a calcium deposit on his gum...guess we will keep waiting!

Sebastian's First Olympics

Happy Olympics Day!

Maybe Sebastian will be an athlete at the 2030 or 2032!

Five Year Anniversary

Today is our 5 year anniversary. With two kids it's hard to do a lot, but we are going to meet some friends at Flamestone to toast our wonderful marriage. Brad also surprised me with beautiful roses! Maddie asked him if she could give them to me! So sweet!

4 month and 3 year Check-up

Both Maddie and Sebastian had check ups today. Dr. Allison was pleased to see that Maddie was 63% in weight and 64% in height. Maddie was happy that the doctor didn't feel the need to take the pacifier away from her. Dr. A said that as long as she was just using it for sleeping she could have it until she was 4, unless the dentist said otherwise. She also said that Maddie is ahead of the curve for potty training.

Sebastian was 26% in height, 18% in weight and 19% for his head. She was a little concerned that he had dropped down in % in weight, so she encouraged us to feed him more solids. She said that Sebastian has conquered 6 month milestones and that sleeping through the night will come once his growth slows down. Since he was healthy for the moment we continued with his shot schedule. Next appointment is for the 6 month check-up.
