A miserable week for little bud!

Since last Friday little Lindon has been sick. Lord, my nerves are being pushed and tested to the max.. At first he was just whiney on Friday and Saturday. Saturday night he screamed holy mary all night long. If I put him down, he screamed. If I layed down with him in my arms, he screamed and kicked. If I sat and rocked him, he screamed. He would only settle down when I stood up and rocked and swayed him. We all know that in the middle of the night that just isn't going to work. I knew something serious was wrong with my child because he was satin that night. :o) I couldn't let him "cry it out" because I knew he wasn't feeling good and it wasn't for attention. He is never like this. On Sunday he was still whiney all day and he did the same scenario on Sunday night. He was running a temp Saturday night as well of 102. I gave him some pediatric tylenol and it went down so I didn't take him into the doctor since his fever broke. His fever was up and down all Sunday day and night as well. Monday morning I thought he would be fine to go to his day care provider since his fever went down and seemed to stay down for a while. I let Ms. Katie know that if it went back up or he seemed to whiney to call me and I would take him to the Dr's. Well when Lindon's Mom picked him up on Monday he had a rectal temp. of 102.8. Well I decided he needed to go into the Dr.'s. I took him to urgent care and the Dr. assured me that his fever is peaking and it should be over in a couple of days. Just keep giving him tylenol and he will be good to go. So every day little bud has been cranky. Lindon stayed home with him the past few days. Every night has been long and horrible. Finally his fever broke and stayed down last night. Well, I am not sure if little Lindon got used to the extra attention or what, but I was cuddling with him in my bed and we both fell asleep. At about 10 he woke up out of a dead sleep and started screaming holy mary again. I tried everything and couldn't get him to stop. His temp. was good, he had eaten, his diaper was clean so after about an hour and a half of trying everything that didn't work I decided to let him cry it out. It took that boy 30 minutes of screaming bloody murder to fall asleep and then all night he kept waking up every hour crying and whining. 5:20 he woke up, I gave him a bottle and he knocked out hard. Then didn't want to wake up when I had to get him dressed to go to Ms.Katie's. We will see how tonight goes. I can't wait. It has been soooo hard. I haven't had any sleep hardly for almost a week and the constant crying is really getting old. No more babies.:o)

Misc pics

I see you!!!

Thing are moving along, including Lindon!

Hey guys,
Just thought I would give you an update with no pics. I will be getting more on here soon. I misplaced my camera cord temp.. He He.
Our house is under roof with shingles on, windows and door in, and that papery stuff that goes between your osb and siding is on. Me, Lindon, baby lindon, and his Dad went to the house this past weekend to put the boxes in for the electrical work and we are going to pull the wire and put the siding on the house this weekend. Exciting! I have some good pics to share with you as soon as I get my stuff together.
Baby Lindon is getting sooo close to crawling. He is now on his hands and knees he just has to figure out how to put one hand before the other and keep his strength up. He rolls great though, from one side of the room to the other. He gets sooo happy when one of us comes home from work. He has been expressing himself a lot more lately. Maybe the past few weeks to a month. He would always smile when he saw us, but now he just lights up. The other day I went to pick him up at Ms. Katies (his child care provider) and he was on the floor playing. I called his name and he looked up. He wasn't facing me so he was trying to figure out where my voice came from. I grap his side and turned him over on his back and he went crazy. Smiling and giggling hard. It was the funniest thing. He was flappiing his arms up and down and kicking his legs tightening them up like he was stretching them out. He was the happiest thing. I picked him up and gave him a huge hug and wrapped his arms around my neck and squeezed real tight. All the while, still smiling and screeching. Then he leaned back from my neck and opened up his hands grabbed my face and put his mouth over mine to give me a kiss. It was the absolute best feeling in the world. It made my day x 100. You can tell he loves his Momma.

Our House!!!!! Yeah!!!

This is our house in the works!! My Mom and step-dad are building us a house and we are sooo excited. This week they are going to be laying the slab and then the frame goes up. Our group photo is of us standing on our front porch. We look a little busted and the wind didn't help. You get the jist.
:o)

Mommy and Little Bud

Lindon loves to play the piano! Grandma S. showed him how and now he loves it. Sooo cute to watch.

Lindons October 31st weigh in!!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't been able to work on my site that much, but Lindon and I are living with his parents so it is a little harder to add pics. I am working on it though. I have some cute ones to share. Lindon's appt. went really well. He now weighs 19 lbs. 10 oz.. Less than what I thought he would weigh. He is also 28 inches long. What a big little baby. He is trying sooo hard to crawl. He is pushing his little booty in the air with his back legs, but hasn't realized that he has to pick up the front end. So he scoots with his butt in the air and face down then rolls himself over. He has gotten really good at rollling his body back and forth (Back to belly and belly to back). He is soooo funny. The other night Lindon was at work and Gramps Southerland was banging and shuffling his hand on the back of the couch and Lindon thought it was the funniest thing. It was sooo cute cause he was squealing and giggling more than I have ever heard him squeal.

Sometimes it takes Gramps to get the job done!

The other day Lindy was soooo tired and cranky, he has been sick with a cold. Me, Lindy, and G-ma Southerland tried to rock him and it just wasn't working. He didn't want any of us. Well, Gramps tried and this was the result. What a little stinker!:o)

"Our Love"

My little bud!

He just finished coughing. That is why he is teary. Isn't he the cutest baby in the world!?!

What a mess!

Okay, Lindon and I are moving out THIS WEEKEND to live with Grandma and Gramps Southerland for a couple of months while our house is being built. I was going through my dresser to get rid of all the clothes I no longer want and little Lindy was the greatest help. His job was to drool on them and not cry. He did pretty good. Soooo, messy picture-cute baby! :o)

"L-train" for short!

This morning while I was getting ready for work Lindy was playing in his jumperoo. He was jumping like crazy and talkin up a storm. Having a good ole time. I picked him up to give him a bath, which is normally done the night before, but something told me to wait until morning since he was crabby and tired. Good thing I did! I sat on the edge of the tub to fill his little bath tub and just as I reached down to test the water I noticed a huge glob of poo on my arm. What a pleasant surprise! Remember I was dressed and ready for work. Of course I had to turn to plan B for the days attire,but first I looked at him puzzled trying to piece together what in the world all this was and where else was it covering. I was trying to clean him in the tub and he thinks this is just great. Tub time means spring into action time and play! I gave him some butternut squash for the first time yesterday and I think that may have something to do with it. For the second time Daddy managed to escape the poo! :o)

My little muscle men!

Look at me! I am just learning how to sit!

Hey Guys! Jill has one of these and I love to go on and see how her babies are doing all the time. I actually look forward to it and I learn from hers and get good ideas, but it is also a good way for my family that is far away to keep in touch with Lindon Grant. So we will try it out and see how it goes. I will be adding pictures shortly.
