The Face That I Love!!
My smiling boy! My excited boy! My scowling boy! He gives these looks quite often - especially to strangers! Ha!Health Update
Here are a few pictures of Jack getting one of his many at-home breathing treatments this past week! He wasn't a big fan of the mask - even if it had fish eyes and gills...we ended up just holding the hose in front of his face and that seemed to still do the trick!
I took Jack for a follow up appointment with Dr. Mijares Friday morning; His lungs are clear, his right ear was clear, but the left was still a bit red she said but it wasn't sucked up like it was on Monday! She said to do the breathing treatments as needed if he started wheezing or anything and to just finish out his antibiotics for his ears and he should be good to go! What a relief!
On a side note - I'm now sick! I went to Urgent Care Friday after I dropped Jack off at daycare and ended up being diagnosed with Bronchitis and a bad sinus infection! Yuck! I got a steroid shot in my butt - a first for me I might add! Two antibiotics and an inhaler to help with my breathing! I think the steroid shot really helped over all and I've been feeling pretty good for the most part!
But now I think Chris is coming down with a touch of something and he has to be gone traveling all week for work - which will suck for him, but might be good for Jack and me so that we don't get his germs!

Mommy's Birthday and The Sick Boy...
That's right! Today is the day I turn the big 2-7...ugh! Christopher got me a "Mother's Ring" with Jack's birthstone (emerald)! I love it! Pictures to come! Jack got Momma a North Face fleece pullover! How sweet of him! I think he still owes Daddy some money though!
On a negative note - Jack is S.I.C.K!! He has Bronchitis and a Double Ear Infection! Poor Baby! He has to have breathing treatments every 4-6 hours and is on antibiotics for his ears! He isn't sleeping well so it looks to be a L.O.N.G night! He has the cutest little fish facemask for his breathing machine, but he doesn't like it so we just use the open tube and hold it in front of his face - he does good like that! Hopefully he starts to feel better soon! I did manage to snap a couple pics of him with the mask, but they aren't cute - he was M.A.D! I just put him to bed so we'll see how long he stays down! He has to have another treatment around midnight so I'm sure that will wake him up! Grr...
I'll post pics when I have more time! Oh...he nows weighs 18 pounds 11.5 ounces and is 26 inches long - I know...he is still a shorty!

Jack Is Movin' On Up!
That's right! I ordered Jack's BIG BOY CAR SEAT this morning! It should be here next week sometime! I was going to wait about another month or so, but I noticed that the seat I've been drooling over went on sale and just couldn't resist! Here is a picture of it!
I liked this particular seat b/c the headrest is removable in the rear facing position up to 22 lbs. so it won't take up as much room in the backseat! Also it rear faces to 35 lbs. with the headrest! And up to 65 lbs forward facing! This seat should last Jack up until he is like 5 years old and ready for a booster! And of course I got black because we all know how much I love black! Ha!

Development Update
We had our monthly Parents as Teachers meeting this past Thursday and she did a screening on Jack to see where he is at developmentally. She said he is right on track and gave us a few "what's coming next" things to work on. So we are focusing on getting him to wave hi/bye, playing patty cake/clapping, getting him to practice his pincher grasp, pulling up, and start to get him to relate his sounds to certain things (like when he says dada he knows that Chris or when he says baba that he means his bottle; things like that).
He is getting stronger and stronger in the legs arena - he will stand for a few seconds on his own, but I'm right there to catch him when he falls! But thank goodness he is finally standing and putting weight on his legs - that was my biggest worry!

M.I.A
So yeah, I've been M.I.A again lately. Work has become all encompassing for me - December and January are my busiest, most stressful months of the year! Ugh! And now that Chris got his new job he is busier then ever too! This leaves little time for blogging!
Here is a quick update on the Family!
Darci - I am progressively become less tired and starting to finally get my energy back since I had my Thyroid removed in mid-October. My hormone dose has been increased from 25 mcg to 125 mcg; you can imagine how tired I've been! I don't get my levels tested again for 8 weeks, but I'm assuming my labs last week must have been close b/c we had been testing every 4 weeks. I can tell I'm not as tired, lets hope this last jump up will really help!
Chris - As I mentioned in an earlier post he got a promotion at work and has been working all day and most evenings at home and traveling on top of that. We both started a diet this week and also a workout program. We are both trying to get back in shape for the summer!
Jack - He is growing like a weed! I can't wait to take him to the doctor and see how big he has gotten, but we unfortunately don't go back until the end of February - pending Jack doesn't catch a cold or anything between then and now! Fingers crossed! He is finally standing on his own without me holding him at all - which is awesome, especially since the doctor totally freaked me out at his 6 month appointment b/c he wasn't really putting weight on his legs, but since then we work on it every night and he has improved tremendously. He is starting to try to figure out crawling and can wiggle his way all over the floor on his belly. When he tries to get his knees under him he always ends up pushing backwards! But at least he is catching on! He is still sleeping like a champ for the most part! No teeth yet and I don't see any coming anytime soon, but I can tell he has teething pain every once in awhile. Jack also loves daycare! He loves the kids and he is really fond of Tonya - which I might be a tad bit jealous of - he does spend way more time awake each week with her then me, but I know I'm still Momma and he knows that!
That's a quick update. I know tons more has been going on, but at this point my brain is drained!
Until next time...xoxo

Congratulations...
To my wonderful husband! Chris got a promotion at work - he is now a Regional HR Manager! Yea! He got a pay raise, more responsibility, and a company vehicle (a super cute Charger)! This will be a great opportunity and I'm so proud of him! This does mean more travel for him, but since he is in the Central Region and most of the locations right now are in Kansas and Oklahoma most of the time it can be day trips so he can be home at night, which is a major plus!
Congrats Again Chris. Jack and I are so proud of you! We love you! xoxo
-Darci and Jack
