Anson - SICK

Anson - SICK
Originally uploaded by lacychenault

Anson had his first sickness over the weekend. Saturday morning he woke up with a fever. 102 degree was the highest, I called the doctor and they told me only to bring him in if it got to 105 - I can't imagine having a fever like that.

He was miserable. He wouldn't let us put him down - ever, even when he was sleeping he had to be held - he spent the whole day in just his diaper to keep his temperature down. He was getting baby Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours. He even slept in our bed that night. The next morning he improved - no more fever. But - I got it.

My temperature got to 102 degrees on Sunday - I was miserable. I wanted to just lay down and sleep all day. Today it gradually got better, but I am still coughing like crazy, so is Anson.

So Mark had to deal with a sick family on his super daddy weekend. He was such a sweety, taking care of Anson and I - I love him so much.

I simply cannot resist taking pictures of Ansons baby butt. I love every little bit of him. Even though I know he will eventually hate these pictures, I can't resist. Maybe once he has his own children he will understand why, and appreciate them a bit more.

We purchased his stroller last weekend at toys-r-us - and guess what....I breastfed in public. Well, almost. I did it in a dressing room. I refused to go into a nasty restroom, then I saw the dressing rooms and a little light bulb lit up over my head. I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner - dressing rooms.

Anson is babbling all of the time now - to me, his daddy, to his toys, the fish, whatever and whoever will listen. Sometimes it's a squeal, other times it's a gentle coo. It is always heart meltingly sweet.

I can't wait for him to start saying mama and dada. I imagine the first time he says mama will be mid-cry. Dada will probably some one day when Mark comes home from work. I think this because when Mark walks through the door I almost always bring Anson to him saying - dada's home! Yay! He gets so excited. Him crying mama, I think that because when he wakes from his nap and starts to whine I always say mamas coming - mamas here. So those are my guesses.

Real talking seems so far off, but then again it seems he was a little newborn just yesterday - so I bet it will get here before I know it.....Then he will be off to college....oh the thought of him growing old makes me sad in a way. I love my little baby boy.
