HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Yay! Happy Halloween everyone.

So finding a costume the night before halloween went exactly as planned. NO COSTUMES. lol. For those of you who let your babes watch tv, Bradley is going to be Linny from the Wonder Pets. Basically hes a gerbil with a cape.

Don't I just look adorable even though I don't quite understand why I'm wearing this?

* ~ Bradley vs. Meatball grinder ~ *

First I must analyze ...

Then I must disect...

It never had a chance! You might as well just start running the bath water now...

Guess why I was able to tear that baby apart? Check these out!

Its Curious George!

Its currently Curious George time so Bradley is glued to the tv. Its a nice quiet half hour usually. I have taken some time to upload videos from yesterday.

Not much is new lately. I just found out last night that we have plans for Halloween. I was planning on staying home and doing nothing. Going out shopping for a costume the day after, buy one for 70% off and take a bunch of pictures lol. I figured why pay full price if i'm not actually going to do anything. Well those plans are ruined. hah. I guess we are going out to the Mystic Aquarium and The Olde Mystic Village. I can not remember how many people are going but there will be at least two other babies. His best friend Evie(1) and cousin Nate(2). I guess it should be fun. I will take photos, hopefully we will be able to find a costume in time.

okay, video time!

The first video is from last night. It was about 10pm and Bradley was doing his nightly ritual. I swear he can not go to bed anymore without chasing the dog for at least a half hour straight before bedtime. It wears them both out at least. http://s307.photobucket.com/albums/nn309/bradleyjaye/?action=view&current=chasedoggie.flv

The next one is also from yesterday, it is not common that I can catch him sighing at me on the camera. I told him to not eat his truck. http://s307.photobucket.com/albums/nn309/bradleyjaye/?action=view&current=sigh.flv

well, enjoy! I hope everyone has a great Halloween!!! :)

Well the weekends over and here I am trying to make yet another appointment for Bradley! He keeps going back and forth between sick. I'm really tired of the screaming. His chest has a ton of fluid and he keeps pulling at his ears... the phone line keeps being busy. grrrr.

Bradleys birthday is in TWO WEEKS. I can NOT believe that. He wanted to be a show off for his birthday obviously. He is a full time walker now, only crawls when hes upset. He really can wander the house for 5 minutes straight before tripping or falling now. Its crazy! Hes so quick now too. Hes just so active now and the things he gets into is amazing lol. He currently is ripping out all of his diapers from the baggy they come in. He then will start "organizing" them. I think I need to get a video of him doing that. Its pretty funny.

Time to call the doctor again and deal with poop.

Friday again!

Looks like Bradley and I are finally not sick anymore. He is just coughing a little bit now. Thankfully he did not get as sick as I. I of course was throwing up and had a fever. Oh Joy! It was tough taking care of him while I was sick though.

The leaves are finally falling. I am not sure how long they have been changed, I had not left the house all week. Maybe I just didn't notice them last week.

Bradleys walking is amazing. Its all he wants to do. His recent favorite thing is to jump on the couch. I'm not sure where it came from actually. He also had a very tough week with bonking his head. He manged to pull a kitchen chair down ontop of him TWICE in the same day. Those babys need to be cemented down. The picture actually looks better than his big ol bump did!

Heres another of him having fun with his grandfather

Also looking oh so cute in his eagles hat :)

Have a good weekend everyone. Do some fun things for me while I'm at work!!!

I wish I had a weekend.

Well hes slowly getting better. He still can't breathe through his nose, which makes it tough to eat or use his Binky. We have him sleeping at night again, but I can't figure out how to get him TO sleep in the first place. He was up until midnight partying again. Both Brandon and I kept dozing off while trying to keep an eye on him. He only had one nap yesterday so I thought he would go to sleep early actually.... oh well.

I don't know what happened this morning but I woke up to a loud crash. The coffee somehow fell off the fridge and broke open on the floor. There was coffee everywhere. The kitchen smelt pretty good, but I get no coffee. :( How sad for tired mommy!

I wish this was a "Friday" for us. I miss having the weekend off with Brandon and Bradley to have fun. I'm sick of working all day Sat and Sun then working in the evenings when hes home on weekdays. I'm so tired of being alone. Hopefully things will smooth out soon enough.

Brandon's hoping to win, $100,000 from McDonald's. lol yea we'll see how that goes. I think he just wants to eat McDonald's.

Wednesday already?

Well last night was another sleepless night. I was right, hes very sick today. Sadly I'm feeling it too. I don't know where he picked it up.

This morning Dr. Wolf, his Dermatologist called because he got the test results back from his culture. He believes that the staph originates in the nose, so he tested it and he was right. Bradley's nose tested positive.

We also had a checkup on his lymph node, its still about the same size. The doctor was more concerned about him being sick though, his eyes are all swollen, he can't breath, hes coughing, hooray! He also has fluid in his left ear, were hoping it won't turn into an ear infection. I wouldn't be surprised if it did. He is the infection king.

Nothing else new here. I could use a nap.

Hello......

Hello everyone. I feel I should have done this a long time ago. Life has been hectic and I suppose this would be an easy way to keep everyone updated! This also is a good way for me to blow off some steam or brag about something Bradley is up to.

Up until now life seems to be a constant flow of appointments. Maybe one of these days I will attempt on backtracking.

Tomorrow we have yet again another follow up appointment to check up on his Lymph Node which has been inflamed for at least 5 weeks now. He is also teething and VERY unhappy. None of us have slept in at least 5 days now. All three of us are exhausted. I am beginning to wonder if he is sick. We now are at the point where he refuses to sleep and would rather scream 24 hours a day. We are currently on nap #3 for today, all of which have been 30 minutes or less. Trust me, that's not enough time for me to regain my sanity or him to get enough rest. He usually gets 1 or 2 naps during the day, usually ranging 1-2 hours each.

I have decided to stay home from work tonight. Hopefully having both Brandon and I home will create a happy baby.

On a lighter note, I can not believe how much Bradley is walking. He can almost make it across our entire living room in one shot! For those of you who know how small my living room is... I still think its pretty impressive! He even knows how to slow down and change directions while walking. Pretty soon not only the floor will be destroyed, but the entire house. Hes only been walking for a little over a week now so my guess is at the 2 week mark he will be running!

I have decided to include a picture of Bradley from last week, when he was still happy. Bradley, I can't wait to see that happy face again. Please go easy on mommy.
