SO sweet!!!

The top pic is Weston at 4 weeks and the bottom one is Malakai at 4 weeks. I think Weston is winning in the weight department! Look at those rolls on his side! He's got cheeks like Malakai's too....and we think they're both going to have curly hair! It's going to be so much fun to watch them grow up together!!! If we all just lived closer.....!!!!

The baby is Weston again...my brother and sister-n-law's PRECIOUS little boy!

Spencer & Brianna

I thought I should re-post Spencer & Brianna's preview images from their E-session since I am deleting my other blog in a couple of days. These were taken at the Ballpark in Arlington and it ended up being a really great location since they were hosting a H.S. All-Star game and we were able to get in for free! I like free stuff! Brianna and Spencer were super fun to photograph and I think we were able to get some really cool shots. Here are some of my favorites:

Catching up on some recent pics...

That is my new nephew, Weston in the pics with Kai. He's SOOOOO cute!!! Seriously, why do kids always go for the eyes??? I've seen other kids do it and now it's MY CHILD that's doing it!!! I did not teach him that! : )
Look how cute my mom is in the pics below!

FEELING BETTER...even though I don't look it!

Thanks to all of you who were praying for my little guy! I finally decided that even though the doctor did not find anything, I am FOR SURE that it's his ears. Last night I gave him drops before I fed him and put him to bed and he did great. He fell asleep on my lap sitting up with his back against me. I felt so relieved to finally have an answer....even though he's still not feeling well, it's just good to know what it is and be able to some-what help him!

Look at this sad picture from a day or two ago when he was feeling so horrible and he just stood up in his crib and cried. : ( Poor little guy!

NOT TEETHING.....

OK, so nevermind about the teething.  I think we finally had a breakthrough today! First of all, this morning when I put him down for a nap he ended up screaming for about 45 min. at which point, I couldn't take anymore, so I loaded him up in the car to go for a drive. I opened the garage door, turned on the car, realized that I had no shoes on and no gas in my car, so I ran back inside to get shoes, a sippy cup and cash, and when I got back to the garage Kai was asleep!!! So, I turned off the car, closed the garage, pulled out the extension cord and attached it to his fan for some air, and brought his sound machine out to the car as well.  I left the door between the house and the garage open and put his monitor right there so I could hear him.  He slept for 3 hours straight! Finally, some relief! SOOOO.......he was great after he woke up, but then he wouldn't eat and was pulling on his ears and his hair again and the screaming cycle started up again when I layed him down for another nap three hours later.  So, then we tried these ear numbing drops that I had gotten from the doctor several months ago and I folded up a blanket and laid it in his crib to prop him up on, and he went to sleep and didn't scream.  Praise the Lord!  Even though he has an ear infection.  But what's frustrating is that we had it checked twice and I was almost sure it was his ears, and they didn't find anything.  Has anyone else heard of this happening? We've actually been through this before and I thought it was his ears and ended up having to prop his mattress up at an angle, but they still didn't find anything.  So weird.  I'm just praying that those drops work tonight!!!

TEETHING!!!!!!!!

The past few days, I have been MIA.  The reason is because my son will NOT go to sleep!!!! We've been to the doctor twice in the past 5 days and I have made another 4 or 5 calls to them as well.  I don't know of much worse than when your child will not go to sleep...or eat...

Every time I lay him down, he screams, tears and all.....it's terrible.  I thought it was his ears for many reasons, but today they looked fine at the doctor's office.  Last night we were up till midnight with him (normally his bedtime is about 8:45) then he woke up screaming again at 1:30, and again at 6:00 and NEVER went back to sleep after that, except for two 30 min. catnaps in his carseat.  Tonight he did the same thing....screamed and screamed....wouldn't lay down to eat or to go to sleep. He stands right back up and goes into hysterics. I've heard when they're getting their molars in, it hurts pretty bad like this, so that could be it.  He's on an antibiotic, tylenol, motrin, and teething tablets.  I'm at the end of my rope! I don't know what to do.  We finally put him in the carseat and drove for about 45 minutes.  When we got home, Jason carefully took him out of the car, in his seat, and put him in his room.....he's still in his carseat....and it's sitting on the floor in his room.  I made a pallet on the floor next to him and I'm going to sleep in there with him.  

So I lied....

I'm going to stay here for now and try to work with this FREE blog to get it to look like what I want. So for now, I'm still going to be posting here.

Does anyone know of someone who does book-keeping? I'm looking to hire someone to come in once every other week and keep up my Quickbooks for me.
Let me know if you do!
