It's been a long time comin'

I can't believe I am so behind.... I haven't posted in over a month!

Here is a quick run down of everything that happened in the last month:

Jonny got sick and was out from work on a Thursday and Friday. We think he had food poisoning or something. He started feeling better by Saturday but then Cale got sick. He had a fever and was just plain uncomfortable. It was really sad but I could handle it... until I got sick too. Same thing, fever, sore throat, coughing. Ugh, it was no fun. Next day, Jonny gets sick AGAIN! Now he has what we have. Well, a sick mommy and daddy can't do a very good job at taking care of a sick baby that is up all night so we finally called my mom to come stay up with him. We had tried everything at that point. I put him in the moby wrap and walked around until he fell asleep then climbed into bed with him attached to me. Well I was just so uncomfortable so that didn't work. Let's just say that was a VERY long week! We used echinacea with elderberry for Cale and he didn't get nearly as sick as we were. It is a liquid all natural immune system booster. It worked great! Anyways, we were finally all feeling better and I was out working in the yard the first chance I got!

Hmm... what else?! Oh yes, Jonny's birthday party! He turned 25 so we had a party for him and Julie at our house. He wanted a bounce house so of course, we got a bounce house. It was a lot of fun. After the party, Candace, Kyla, and Trevor came over with Megan and Lane. That LOVED the bounce house. It was the cutest thing ever! We decided we are going to have to rent one for the neighborhood every once in a while just for fun!

The day of the party Cale cut 2 more teeth! It was his top front left tooth and the one on the outside of that. He has since gotten his other top tooth also! He has 5 teeth!!! I am pretty sure I see 3 more coming in too.

Okay, I can't think of anything else that interesting that has happened so fast forward to recently...

Starting on Saturday Cale was coughing and his nose was pouring snot. eeeeew. I am pretty sure his worst enemy is the nasal aspirator. So Monday morning I call the doctor and tell them that I think it is allergies because he doesn't have a fever or anything. They wanted me to bring him in so I did. Mommy was right! Allergies. His ears and throat looked clear and no fever. We have been giving him the echinacea again plus colloidal silver also. I hope he feels better soon. He seems to be doing better today. He was SOOO clingy yesterday. I had to hold him while I got dressed and brushed my teeth. Yes, it was extremely difficult. That's love. :) Anyways, he weighed 17 pounds and was 27 inches long. He is growing so fast. Last night when I was rocking him to sleep Jonny said, "He is huge!". hehe.

We watched The Cove last night with Julie and Steven. It was really good but also very sad. I cried. Save the dolphins!

I will try to not wait a month before the next blog...

For now, I am off to work on dinner.
