I’m a little late. Between Thanksgiving, having my family here, promoting Polished/Homemade and Eli getting sick it’s been a bit much to blog. But here I am, a day after Eli’s doctor appointment, more optimistic and energized. I spent most of the day washing linens and disinfecting pretty much everything. Poor baby boy. He’s got his 4th ear infection and the flu. I’m glad they finally referred us to to ENT surgeon to discuss tubes. I don’t know if we’ll do it or not, but like the doc said, we need to get the conversation started. He is SO much happier today than he has been, but he’s still whining a lot and is clearly still recovering based on his 3.5 hour nap and general lack of appetite. By the way, the doc said that she’s seen more flu cases in the past week than she has in 2 years- and- we all had the flu shot. Be careful out there!
It was so nice having family in town. I secretly love being a tourist. We went to ICE, which to be honest was a bit of a disappointment. Why is it so small?? I mean okay, be small, but be cheaper. We also went to the zoo, did a bit of Black Friday shopping- oh how I scored some 50% off clothes, and took a few pictures. I even had a little coffee and manicure date with my little 6 year old niece. She’s so funny! She got pink and gold sparkly nails that she was so proud of.
Now we’re getting back into the grove of things as much as we can. Josh started feeling better last night and took over so I could get some sleep. Coffee only does so much. I go back to work (tentatively) Friday. I’m still PRN but one of the staff members are out this week. I can’t wait to get back into my editing class. Here’s a few pics of Thanksgiving!
Don’t forget to enter our party give away! Today is the last day to enter. All you have to do is get your friends to like our facebook page. Whoever refers the most people gets our Glass Half Full package which includes
What we Bought: So many clothes, his first Christmas ornament, and a picture of him and Santa!
Most Awkward Moment: Welp, one day I had set Eli down in the landing where he generally plays while I pick up. Little did I know Josh left out a peanut M&M popcorn ball on the table- which Eli was eating when I came back into the room 2.5 seconds later. His face had chocolate all on it! I had a mini panic attack but he’s fine (and so is Josh ahha). OR- when our car was full and Eli desperately needed his diaper changed while we were in Home Depot. I decided to change him while standing up, something I often do at home since he’s so mobile. He subsequently peed all over his car seat and had to ride home in it. Boo!
Best Moment: Picking up my family at the airport! My nephew and nieces were so excited and Eli was very interested, but not ready to be held.
Invaluable purchases: TWO car seats. It’s so much easier not hauling it from car to car. Also this car seat protector actually preserves the leather in Josh’s car quite well.
How my life has changed: I’m not as easily grossed out. I will pick out his booger on the fly. Yep. I just said that.
Eli: Week 46
I like to help mom put toys and dishes away. I also think that toilet paper unraveling is about the most fun one can have. I wave and clap often, just to show my enthusiasm for life. I had my first Thanksgiving and ate turkey, rolls, green beans and pumpkin pie. I definitely liked the pie the most. I had so much fun with my cousins, uncle, and aunt. I found out that I love super hero action figures and have decided that when I grow up I want to be very much like my cousin Trevin. Mom and dad took me to the zoo for the second time, and I almost stayed awake for the whole thing. I also went to ICE and helped decorate my first Christmas tree. I weigh 21 lbs 11 oz and my head is too big for 12 month old shirts.
That’s it for now! Have a great week & stay healthy!
