Buh-bye Daycare!

Wow, what a crazy, overwhelming 2 weeks its been!! Where do I start? Let's see...Jackson's had high fevers, severe wheezing, RSV/bronchiolitis, croup-like coughing & an ear infection in a matter of 14 days. He is back to his old self now, but we have finally faced the fact that he picks up every little thing he is exposed to. Dr. Jones has suggested we reduce his exposure to other children...and the most logical way to do this is to take him out of daycare (although he was only going 3 mornings a week.) When he gets sick, he gets really sick and digresses developmentally (like refusing solids because he thinks they are medicine or refusing to nurse). So we are trying to either find a nanny to watch him while I work 3 mornings a week or else I will give up the job I love to stay home and raise our son. We are letting God lead our decision in this & thankfully we have 3 sets of grandparents & several friends that are more than willing to help us with childcare during this transition. So needless to say...Bye-Bye Daycare!

In the meantime, Bella will be watching him :)

Prior to the 2 weeks of sick babyness, we went to Georgia to welcome Oma & Opa back to the east coast! We had lots of fun helping them move into their home in Brunswick & Jackson did fairly well on the 5 1/2 hour car-ride (except for the 1 hour of screaming on the way down).

Hangin' out with Oma & Opa - so glad you've moved closer!

On a more fun note, Jackson has 2 (very sharp) bottom teeth & tries to put EVERYTHING in his mouth...toys, fingers, my face. He is also is reaching & grabbing on everything he can get his hands on, especially my earrings & necklaces. He is so wanting to get mobile & I swear he'll be creeping soon. He's started eating solids (thankfully) but will only do so while watching tv (the distraction makes him forget he's eating). We are working on weaning him from the tv while eating.
