Sick as a DOG

Our Dennis has caught another bug with a temperature of 100.9 and a constant stream of snot from his nose. On top of that he is probably getting some more teeth cause he has more drool than I have ever seen him have. Poor boy... 2 hours past his bed time and still struggling to fall asleep.


Our garden continues to grow and we LOVE it!

cruisin the worm way

I'm so excited that I found another way to upload videos onto the blog since blogspot is all of a sudden having trouble... Let me know if it works.


Check a couple of posts back to the one about paying dennis allowance... there is another video there.

Grandma's Therapy

So, my mom says that seeing pictures of Dennis is her daily therapy... So, here you go, mom... eat your heart out.

GREY

guess his eyes are going to stay grey...they sure are unique.

baby proofing

This morning I was blow drying my hair while Dennis was playing in his bedroom and just at the very last second I looked up to find Dennis reaching over the first basement step to try and grab a towel that was left there. I swear if I had looked up a second later... he would have been down those steps. I almost had a heart attack.

This afternoon we started baby proofing (since Dennis is quite the explorer now)/spring cleaning. We moved all chemicals on the top shelves instead of the bottom and washed the windows including the window sills (thank you mom for teaching me how to clean and the importance of it) and mopped the floor. Once again, Dennis was in the next room exploring and I heard a thud and immediately knew what it was... the bucket for mopping with chemicals in it. Luckily, I got there just in time so that he didn't pull it on top of himself... but it was close- he tried once. We are REALLY going to have to be more careful with things. yikes.

night-time is a bugger

Our whole family is just getting over a huge cold bug... that stuck around for over a week. And right before that Dennis had the runs for a week... and before that we had company several times... so we are finally making our way to having a schedule again and hoping that Dennis will then be able to sleep through the night like he used to. Instead of getting better, they were getting worse. I think one night I was up every hour... another I would go in and rock him until he fell asleep but when I would put him down he would immediately would wake up crying. I gave in and brought him to bed with me. I was starting to think that Dennis was just taking advantage of the fact that its hard for me to let him cry at all. Except that I thought his behavior was a little more extreme than that and he is really a good kid that likes to sleep. (I know my grammar is bad but I'm too lazy to fix anything because of lac of sleep) Today I picked him up at his babysitters to find him sleeping like a log. I moved him into his carseat without him waking up. Our totally awesome babysitter recognized the symptomes and sure enough here come 2 teeth. She put some gel on his gums and he could finally get some zzzz's. We will have to make a trip to walgreens. It's kinda hard to tell in the pics but you sure can feel them.

Allowance

I didn't think that I would have to start paying Dennis allowance at such an early age.
