Landon's Pictures

Here is are some of the pictures that Landon took a few days ago. They are actually pretty cute the little stinker.

WHATS THAT????

So as I was uploading the video I took of Tannen I discovered that Landon had taken my camera a few days ago and took a ton of pictures with it. More to post of those later. But as I was going through the pictures I found this.



Yes tragically it looks like he took a picture of him peeing!!! I can't believe he did that. But it has to be him. You can see his shadow, and the water that is pouring out is yellow and shooting straight out - in the middle of the day. We live in an apartment complex with tons of people around. He even took pictures of random people - so it is a good chance somebody besides his sister saw him. And he PEED right on the sidewalk. I should be embarrassed but I am not. It seems like such a boy thing to take a picture of your own pee... sigh oh well - I guess I am one of those moms who lets there six year old boys take their cameras and pee in broad daylight with the camera going.

Like Father Like Son

Marcus took this picture of Tannen and thought it was cute and reminded him of himself.

"Hum let me think about that........zzzzzzzzz."

Tannen - oh the drama

Let me just say I hate the ER. Almost two weeks ago on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning Tannen was really cranking and crying so much Marcus couldn't settle him down. He took his temperature and it was 100.7 under the arm. Tannen was just a couple days over three months old. I know if they are three months old or younger and there temperature gets that high they need to be seen. I call the on call doctor, and he told me I need to take him into the ER that night. So off I went 1:00am in the morning - first feeding him to help him settle down. We didn't even give him Tylenol - because we didn't have any infant ones.

I got there and the nurse said his rectal temperature was 100 even. And for them to diagnose for a high fever it would have to be 100.4. His breathing was fine and so were his ears. He looked great. He had been smiling for her and everything. But the doctor wanted to to a complete blood panel on him and a urinalysis on him because of his age. I said fine. The nurse poked him in the arm for his blood draw, and then started digging. Now I have really crappy veins and I hate it when they dig. It hurts bad. He was sobbing and she had the neddle all the way in still digging. I was shaking holding his little legs down. Then the blood vessle broke and she pulled the needle out. I asked if we had to do this. On of the nurses said I could refuse. They put a bandaid on him, and I took him to help him settle down, and sobbed. The nurses left me alone for a little bit. Then the Dr. came back we talked and I told them they could still to the urinalysis but they weren't poking him again. My thought was they had one chance and blew it. He came back clean, and then released him.

Marcus stayed up waiting for me. I went to Walmart for some tylenol and took him home. We got back at 3:30 am. Marcus stayed home the next day so I could sleep - I was so tired. Then he went to work that afternoon. He was cranky all week, and it took awhile for the fever to go away. It has been gone for a week, and then he had it again yesterday. No other signs or symptoms. Poor guy. But he is doing fine today.

On a happier note about a month ago he started laughing. Just this last week I have been getting some belly laughs. He loves kisses on his neck, and zuberts (that's what we call them) on his belly. He also discovered his hands last week and would clasp them together. Marcus kept thinking of Mr. Burns off of Simpsons and would say excellent anytime he did it. I love our little Tannen.

My Babysitter

My boys watching a movie

I gotta say I love my babysitter. Lately in the mornings when I need to take a shower I ask Landon if he will watch Tannen for me. (If he doesn't Kylie is delighted to.) He is usually at the table eating breakfast, and Tannen is hanging out in the high chair. In the past I have done this and when Tannen started crying it really stressed out Landon and he couldn't handle it. So the rule is if he can't handle it just put him in the bassinet that is in my room and make sure the kitty isn't in there, and shut the door. Safe - even if Tannen doesn't like it.

Well I left to take my shower, reminded Landon what he could do. When I came out ten minutes later feeling much refreshed and enjoyed my ten minute break I found high chair tracks all over the hall and front room. Apparently Landon had given him a ride. Then Landon was getting a Baby Einstein movie ready for him and Tannen to watch. I thought it was so cute.
