An ear infection and 3 day measles???

And just when I think everyone is getting better, poor Wyatt breaks out in a rash.  It freaked me out when the doctor said it was 3 day measles.  Having that can cause an ear infection, so that explains his fussiness over the past few days.  Nothing like an ear infection... I got one about a year or so ago and screamed and cried from the horrible pain!  Can't imagine what our babies feel like :(    Oh, and Waylon is still having his bout with poopie diapers.  Should have tests results soon.  I hope everything is okay.  2 1/2 weeks is too long for that to be going on!

This past weekend something happened that caught me way off guard.  Waylon loves playing with my phone, and out of the blue, he picked up my phone, put it to his ear and said "Whatcha doin?"  I had to think about what I had just heard, and tried to second guess myself, but he said it.  He'll be talking our ears off before you know it.  Half the things he says sounds like a cross between Chinese and Klingon (Star Trek lanugage), but I am starting to understand more and more each day.

I've decide that I would add a new segment to the blog each week called.......drumroll........ "picture of the week"!  Hmm... how will I decide?  Well, more than likely, it will be a moment that made me laugh, say "awe", or almost made me tear up.  In this case  AWWWWWE!!  Waylon loves his "baby" brother!  It always makes me so happy when Waylon pays Wyatt the least bit of attention.  Maybe I am easily amused :)

Eric had been wanting to take the boys to the Bass Pro Shops, so last week he took them there and to Cracker Barrell.  I am so impressed with my husband's ability to entertain the boys.  He doesn't seem to get stressed at all.  Sometimes I wish I could see what goes on when I'm not around, or do I???  I think they had a really good time on their little excursion.  I hate I missed out!

Just hanging out during the week....

Sunday, we all went to John John and Clee's house to visit.  They asked us earlier in the week if we would like to have Tanner and Tucker's (extremely nice) swing set that they have outgrown! We had such a good time visiting and the boys are going to love playing outside on their new swing set.  There will be many pictures taken on it I'm sure, so once it is all put back together, I will share.

Until next week....

A week of...

Poopie diapers!  Poor Waylon seemed to have a little stomach virus last weekend and it cleared up during the week, but came back again.  He was still eating like a horse, but had a bad diaper... after diaper.  Eric took him to the doctor this morning, and Dr. Lytlle told us to take him off milk and fried foods and to give him Gatorade and water.  If that doesn't help in the next couple of days we have to bring a stool sample in.  Noting discrete about this blog, huh?

I just can't believe how fast my boys are growing up!  Waylon sings all the time and does this thing with his hands.  I think it's the itsy bitsy spider, but I'm not sure.  He's so curious about everything, and tries to see how far he can go before he gets in trouble.  Wyatt is lunging forward, just ready to crawl and get his brother!  We are just having the best time with these little munchkins! I love having Fridays off to spend with them. Sometimes, to me, it feels like we do the same repetitive stuff every week, but I guess it doesn’t seem that way to them. They love playing in each other’s rooms. Waylon is starting to pay Wyatt a little more attention these days too. I actually caught Waylon gently rubbing Wyatt’s hand while they were in the buggy at Walmart. Too bad I didn’t have my camera that time! We went to Chick-fil-a on Saturday and let Waylon play in the play area. Our table was right by the window, so we just watched him to see what he would do. He loved climbing in this tunnel and he tried to do a little climbing, but decided that wasn’t for him yet.

I’m trying to get a little more creative with my blog posts and decided to try out collages. I figured out how to make them in photoshop last week. I think I am turning into a photoshop geek! Here are some I put together from this past week.

Decided to give Waylon a bath during the day because we skipped it the night before.  I may be biased, but such a cutie!!

Last week, Nana asked if I could bring Waylon’s rocking horse because she had some ideas for pictures. She still had Eric’s cowboy hat that he used to wear and I think it made for some great pictures. Wyatt is at the age where he is so easy going and LOVES getting his picture made. Waylon…well, not so much :)

Going to daycare

The boys started daycare this week in Oneonta. They will be going two days a week. They both really seemed to like it. Waylon immediately (within the first 30 seconds of being in the place) found a sponge bob toy in the toy box, so he was thrilled. They said he ran from one end of the room to the other, just as happy as could be. I think he likes being around other kids his age. Wyatt was very good and they said he just smiles and laughs. I'm looking forward to them interacting with other kids, but dread the sickness that comes along with daycare. Hopefully they will avoid it!
They are both teething right now... I can see two of Waylon's top teeth coming in, and Wyatt was running a low grade fever over the weekend. I have a feeling his top two teeth will be peeking through very soon.

For the first time, I did some shopping on the tax free weekend. Me, Lynn-z, and the boys went to Belk at the Galleria to look for Waylon some new shoes and then to Stride Rite, but we ended up getting these Stride Rite shoes at Belk. Thanks Lynn-z!

Nana took some really cute pictures of Waylon with him wearing her glasses.  When I saw these I just laughed and laughed.... he's such a silly boy!

FUNNY...

FUNNIER... 

and HILARIOUS!

Took some pictures of Waylon out in the front yard.  He found my old camera case, so I threw it around his neck and wouldn't take it off.  No, it's not a man purse :)

I was so excited on Sunday because aunt Krinny and Olivia came to visit.  Made my day, really.  Olivia and Waylon had fun together!

If you're wondering if we suddenly forgot about Wyatt, we didn't.  Next week will be your week little buddy :)

A week at the doctor's office

To begin, Waylon went to the doctor last week because his eczema behind his knee was looking really bad and infected. The doctor treated him with an antibiotic and some steroid cream. On Monday, he didn't seem like himself and when I got home from work he had a fever of 103. it kind of freaked us out because he was already on an antibiotic and had a fever... Motrin seemed to keep it down, but when I got home on Tuesday, it was 103 again. Ugh! I called and the nurse made us an appointment for Wednesday and when Eric took him in, he had a viral infection in his throat with tiny red bumps. Poor guy! He was not eating well and began to break out in a rash all over his body due to the viral infection. Friday he was scheduled for his 18 month visit (a little late, since he's 19 mo.), but he had dropped a whole pound since our first visit to the doctor with his eczema problem. He weighed 25.4 and was 33 1/4 inches. He is eating much better now, and in fact, pigging out, so that makes me happy. He seems to be feeling much better now. YEA!!!!!!!

Other than the doctors visits, this week has been pretty uneventful, just the usual... playing and our weekly visit to Walmart. Here are some pics to sum up our week :)

Waylon loves to pick on his little brother already, especially throwing his monkey blanket over his head.

Uh, oh, here he comes!

Wyatt, you must always watch your back :)

Poor thing can't see, so he fall's backwards...

Looks like Waylon's trying to help him out, but I doubt it :)

He loves the attention he gets from his big brother!

Oh, Waylon did not have fun at Walmart this week, he kept getting his hair pulled and slapped by you know who...

Now that's one helova buggy!

Last, but not least, are some pictures that Nana (Eric's mother) took a week ago.  Waylon is so busy running around, so it's hard to get still pictures of him.  Got some cute ones of him coming down the slide and the ones of Wyatt melt my heart.
