Swing N' Sit

4/19/10

FIRST TIME AT THE PARK
with Mom, Dad, and Stella

DAX loved to swing and watch the other kids play!


Dax is SITTING....all ALONE!

Dax loves to sit and play with his toys now. He will sit for a long time without falling over, so I can officially say he has learned how to sit. I enjoy watching Dax reach his milestones and experience the world. In fact, I look forward to it, but it is bittersweet at the same time.....my baby is growing up so fast!

Sick Boy :(

It's official Dax has RSV...Poor boy. He is SO congested and coughs and coughs with lots of wheezing. He started feeling sick last Monday. We just watched him and used the saline drops and sucked his nose out as needed. Luckily, I listened to his lungs everyday and they sounded great until Saturday....there were some extra noises in his lungs. He was also working pretty hard to breath. I decided he needed to be seen by a Dr. Of course, I was scheduled to work the next two nights. So Jason took Dax into the night clinic. He got a prescription to go to the outpatient bronchiolitis clinic and get suctioned as needed. I would meet Jason and Dax down at the clinic, but I had to refrain from holding Dax since I was working. ( It was VERY hard!) Dax is still all smiles even though he does not feel good. He even gives lots of smiles to respiratory when they are done suctioning him! I hope he gets over this sooner vs. later!

(Dax was weighed at the sick Dr. visit....he NOW weighs 16lbs @ 5months!) :)

Poor baby! Lots of secretions....

Lots of sneezes

So tired....yeah for naps

HAPPY boy

Loves to play still

April Excitment!

Thanks to the beautiful weather, we were able to take Dax swimming for the FIRST time. He even got to swim with his cousin Lincoln at Nanny and Papa's pool. Dax enjoyed the water...thanks to the temp being 89 degrees! He loved it so much he fell asleep. I am sure there will be MANY more swim days!

ALL ready to swim! ( Good thing Dax has 2 swimsuits so his cousin Lincoln could borrow one.)

So RELAXING...he EVEN fell asleep

Swimming is HARD work


FIVE MONTHS

Dax man is 5 months now! He is getting so fun! He is a little observer. He loves his feet now. He is always grabbing for them. He also likes to grab his binki. Which is not so great when it's in his mouth...it makes him mad. He talks up a storm now and makes all kinds of noises. He enjoys watching Stella...he would stare at her all day if she would stick around. Stella loves to give Dax kisses. I even caught Stella licking Dax's face when he got fussy during tummy time. She often licks his hands and feet too...it makes Dax giggle. Stella can always get Dax to laugh, usually it is his full on BELLY laugh...so cute! Dax is sleeping through the night now. He goes to bed by 9pm and wakes up around 7am. Sometimes he wakes up a few times and needs his binki, but he has surprised us many times and slept the entire night.

He HAS to sit up in the bath now...it makes bath time a little more complicated! (and he is ALWAYS pulling his bottom lip into his mouth)

Dax found his feet....

Finally crashed!

Nanny gets some loves from Dax

We enjoyed watching Dad wash the cars!

Five For Fighting at Tuachan was GREAT! We had 2nd row seats! ( I got a night out with Ma and Aunt Mur)

Cousin Time...POOLSIDE!

 

BUMBO n' GRASS

 

Easter FUN!

Easter was laid back since I was supposed to work, but ended up getting called off. So we didn't have anything planned. Jack and Steph were nice enough to have us over for dinner on short notice! Then we ventured to my parents for dessert and we were able to sit in the hot tub after! It was a very relaxing day....I even got to take a nap!


LOVES his jumparoo from Nanny and Papa!


The Easter bunny left him a "baby" sized basket!


Easter dinner with Grandpa Jack and Dad!


Getting better with tummy time...finally!

Few FOTOS from March!

Helping with laundry!


LOVES to drool...and YES this why he is always wearing a bib!





LOVES to suck on his fingers!


Happy boy in his crib!


Taking up more space on his changing table!


At his 4 month appt after his shots...POOR baby! (Still wearing size 2 diapers until we run out. 6-9 mo onesies and 6mo clothes!)

....JUST for MY record.....We DIDN'T give Dax the rotovirus vaccine this time....he felt SO much better after his shots! :) Atleast he got ONE dose!

BIGGEST "one" YET!

Dax was being a little more fussy than normal....I finally picked him up from his jumparoo and suddenly smelled and felt something warm on my arm. Here is why he was so fussy......yuck!


Yeah! Mom finally figured out I have a messy diaper....doesn't look so bad.


Seriously.....


Just playin' while Mom figures out her game plan....Dad was at the gym, he luckily missed this one.


Oh man...


Yeah we made it to the tub....much HAPPIER!


"Blowouts" are hard work....sleeping on Mom a short time later!
