Lets play catch up shall we?

Man so much has gone on since ive been on here last, hence the reason why i havent been writing. Plus these 10 hr shifts are kicking my ass. Well lets see where do i start? My car is still in the shop.. apparently my rear end was completly gone and everything back there had to be replaced. what everything back there is, i have no idea. all i know is this man has had my car for almost a month...im ready to get my car back!!

somehow over the past two weeks, ive developed shingles. And even though its a 2nd round of chicken pox in adults that is only in one spot on you body, this shit hurt worse than anything i could think of. Hell id rather have a baby again than have shingles. that junk felt like a million needles poking you, or like prickly heat. all i can say is that im glad this episode is almost over. i was concerned because i know that both chicken pox and shingles are contagious and i didnt want the baby to get them this soon. the dr said that he still has my chicken pox antibodies in his system that i shouldnt worry about it. and praise God he hasnt had any show up, so im greatful for that.

We took jr to the dr friday and he is now 24 lbs,  29 1/2 inches long, and has a 18 1/2 inch head, and he is in the 75% range of kids his age. the dr was suprised at how solid he is. what an i say this kid has been moving around in his walker since he was 4 months, of course hes gonna be solid. hell his thighs alone have more definition than mine. lol we built a fort a couple of sundays ago for us to hang out and watch movies in. everyone got in on the fun. but someone couldnt hang. lol droolin all on my pillow.

big boy food now...

i know that when this little boy gets older i am going to have to have 3 jobs just to feed him and buy shoes. lol he really hasnt been eating the gerber jar foods too much here when hes home with me.  Hmm lets see last week he was eating some great northern beans, he ate those for a few days just like we did. (gotta get him used to those leftovers) earlier this weekend he was tearing up some curry chicken..well not the chicken so much but the curry sauce and the rice. And tonight he killed some spaghetti and garlic  bread. well i think he licked more of the garlic off of the bread than he did eat it but hes getting the idea of how to do this eating big boy foods. he makes me so proud. thats my baby!!!

Its a photoshoot!

 Hanging out with mom sometimes produces a photoshoot. Good thing hes always ready...

 and smiling...

 But the photoshoot can wear a brotha out quickly.. lol

Ammoxicillin = No bueno

So Sr took Jr to the dr because he was running some serious fevers, and when I say serious I mean like 104.3. Which Tylenol was bringing down but it wasn't bringing it down low enough, so we took him to the dr. They determined thar he is both teething and has a sinus infection. So they gave him some ammoxicillin to help clear that up. Even though he only got it for maybe a day every 12 hours he broke out in a red rash all over hid body. :( and even though it wasn't effecting him he still broke out. So when I finally called the dr, they told me to not give anymore doses and see if it clears up.. It never did, so thy told me to give him some benedryll. With giving him benedryll I've learned that even a 1/2tsp makes him sleepy and extremely cranky. :-/ thank god it's only taken two days to clear up this rash and now I shouldn't have to give him much more benedryll. I'm just praying that once I stop the benedryll that he will continue to sleep thru the night. keeping my fingers crossed.

Getting real old real fast....

I swear I have to be thee only mom whose kid isn't sleeping thru the night. It's 209a I've been up with Jr since 1235. It's a good thing I don't have to work tomorrow otherwise I'd be 38hot. I just don't understand why it is some nights he'll sleep til 530-600 and then I get nights like this. He had him a bottle and then just decided to act anass tonight, he's been up screaming like someones beatin him ever sincehe finished his bottle. I'm trying my best not to get aggrivated since I know he can tell when I'm getting pissd, but comeon man this shit is getting real old real fast. I just don't understand why A.) he can't sleep thru the night all the time and B.) why he always has to act out on my night. It's times like this that shows me my patience level isn't where it's supposed to be. My nephew said it gets better after the get a little bit older.. How old is a little bit older? Cuz his up all night ish is for the birds.. Ooh lord please give me the patience.

long time not blog...

i know, shame on me... ive only blogged once this month. but the sad thing about it is that ive started like 3 blogs this month and just never finished them. smh. oh well...

i figure id blog while Sr is changing the oil on his work truck and Jr is sleep. Im pretty proud of myself, Jr will be 9 months on the 4th and he is just now catching a little cold, and really it isnt even a cold, more of a sinus infection. Sr took him to the dr today, and they said other than the sinus infection, he is growing very well. as of right now hes 21 lbs... can we say heavy!!! especially when i have to carry him in the car seat! whew! but at the same time, im getting some good exercise when i carry him. well my right arm is getting some good exercise. i keep saying my right arm is going to look like popeyes and the left one will be oliveoils. lol 

Other than Jr being sick, things are going really well. he is clapping his hands and waving byebye, he says dada (of course) and mama--from what im told.. he never says it when im around, he always smiles or laughs when i tell him to say mama. im thinking of changing his daycare provider.. nothing is wrong with where he is at, i just want him to be around other kids and start getting some education. they say the first 5 years are critical, so im trying to get an early start on things. oh well, we shall see how that process goes...

to be continued..

welcome to the new year!

7 days into the new year and i have yet to make a post. smh sorry world, ive just been kinda busy. My baby boy is now 8 months!! my how time flys. Hes getting bigger everyday, hes been walking around the house in his walker but now he knows how to get to where he wants to go. he chases pachino all around the house until pachino goes into the corner that he cant get into. lol its so funny. 
we had a new years eve party at out house, and surprisingly jr slept thru the whole thing. I was shocked but very greatful. lol we had a good time. only bad thing about new years now is that you cant get fubar because you have to take care of a little person the next morning, and that little person doesnt care what happened the previous night, hes still going to get up at the ass crack of dawn. lol needless to say i didnt drink much new years.
mama t said that he said mama the other day while he was there so you already know we were mamama in the car on the way home. do you know it took him til the next day to finally say mama to me. hes waving bye now and it even sounds like he said byebye the other day. were now on the road to him talking.. and if hes anything like his daddy, hes gonna be talking all day, everyday, about everything and nothing all at the same time. lol well thats all for now, i gotta get in motion to work. be blessed. p.e.a.c.e
