Welcome!!!

I am so glad that you have made it to my blog. My name is Rian, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years. We welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby girl, in April 2009. In March 2011, we sadly lost our second child to a miscarriage at 10 weeks pregnant. Our son was born in March 2012. This is my blog....the journey through my life with the people that I love.

10 months stats


Weight:
22 pounds!!

Length:
Have no clue, too lazy to measure him. lol

looks like he is going to have dark brown hair like his dad. His eyes are still iffy. Some days they look really green, some days they look light brown to hazel. Guess we will see in time.

Clothing Size:
12 months

Diapers:
Size 5 all day every day.

Sleeping:
slowly getting better most nights. He is starting to get on a schedule as far as going to sleep every night around 10 or 10:30 and then has his set times he gets up, 2:30, 4:30, 6 & up for the day at 8. Yeah it still kinda sucks. lol

Eating:
He now eats three meals a day in addition to his breastfeeding. He still won't drink out of cup, he sees it only as a chew toy. 

New Developments:
Waving bye bye
blowing kisses
saying bye bye
one new tooth about to pop through the skin
loves to pull up and then let to just stand there
he has taken one independent step and then decided he didn't like and quickly sat on his butt!

Favorite Things:
eating clementines. The boy loves them!!
Playing with a toy truck he got for Christmas
His sister
And me.....we are definitely dealing with separation anxiety when it comes to me leaving the room. I leave the room he yells...not cries...yells!!!! And then the tears start and he sobs until I return. It is really sad. :-(

Hopefully I will be back later this week with some pictures! :-)

No 9 month pictures and RSV

On Sunday, January 6th, Kameron started running a fever and coughing. I didn't think much about it, just a cold I thought. I gave her motrin and a breathing treatment. As the day went on I noticed her lips would turn purple around them. At about 8:30pm I noticed she was burning up, her fever was 103! I called my mom and we made arrangements to take her to the ER. Once we got to the ER we learned that the wait would be at least 5 hours long. Uh...yeah....not cool. The next day I took her to her pediatrician and she was officially diagnosed with RSV. With each day that passed she got worse and then on Wednesday, January 9th, Landon officially caught it as well. That day Kameron got a steroid shot to help with her cough and breathing. The next day she officially experience "roid rage". Holy moly batman. What a hard day. She was angry, she was sad, she would cry about nothing, she would scream and cry. It was horrible. If you haven't ever seen roid rage this is what it looks like.


She was so upset!! And then around 7:30pm that night she started screaming and crying that her ear hurt and she did that non-stop for 2 hours. :-( Friday we were back at the doctor office, she was now diagnosed with an ear infection, put on antibiotics, and so we began our weekend. Our weekend was full of this....



Kameron slept a total of 33 hours between 10pm Friday night and 8:30am Sunday morning. And Landon was extra cuddly.


And then last night, last night Landon started screaming and wouldn't stop


He was so not happy. Nothing would calm him down except for me to pace the floors which I have never had to do with him. So for an hour, I paced the living room toting a 21 pound baby. For 4 hours I alternated between walking, rocking, singing, and nursing. He would dose off and then I would try to lay him down, he would immediately wake up. At 3:30am I gave up, and slept with him in the recliner. Back to the doctor we went today. In case you lost count, we have been to the doctor 4 times in a week. He was diagnosed with a severe ear infection, and was given 2 shots of rocephin. We have to go back tomorrow and Wednesday for more shots.

Because of their battle with RSV, I will not be taking pictures of Landon this month. He is now 9 1/2 months old and probably won't be up to pictures for another week, thus making him almost 10 months old which defeats the purpose. So in the mean time I will share some cell phone pictures from the past 2 weeks that I love! Enjoy!

Getting so big and looking much less like a baby now.

The children got a swing set for Christmas. Landon loves it.

I mean....he REALLY loves it!!

And he was apparently exhausted from eating his cookie. :0)


Until next time.....

so behind......

I'm so behind in reading and in posting. Shoot...I haven't even been able to take Landon's 9 month pictures yet. I was supposed to be relaxing while I had this time off. Well....I've sorta been relaxing but also trying to get my whole house in order before school starts back in 10 days (sob...I don't wanna go back). Getting my whole house in order has included going through everyone's clothes. :-/ I can't believe they have grown out of clothes so fast! Anyways...hopefully I will be back next week! :-)
