Fun Friday. Kind of.

Fun Friday started off not so fun. Not bad but definitely not fun. Davis and I went off to his 2 month check up which was more like 2 1/2 months due to scheduling. The boys stayed at home with Gram. It's kind of nice not ever having to worry about getting a sitter for my older 2 anymore. I used to worry about Max but he's proven he can do just fine with Gram watching him. Usually they get to hang out downstairs watching Nick Jr. and have juice (which I pretty much never get), and other treats. Not a bad deal for all involved.

Davis did really well, he's growing like a weed and measures in the 91% for height and 93% for weight, it was like 15.5lbs or something. And 75% for head. He was a trooper even though he had to wait around naked for quite a while and then get shots.

As you can see he still hasn't quite taken a liking to the pacifier.....
After that we came home, ate quickly and headed off to Pump it Up to burn off some energy. I brought Davis' carrier and used it for a longer period of time for the first time. He just has always seemed kind of small in it but he doesn't seem to mind. I keep wondering if I'm wearing it right because he ends up sucking on the arm straps. If he would only suck on a binkie like that.
The boys had a blast of course. This one (it's the Pump it Up Jr.) is almost getting to be a little too 'kiddy' for them though they had a pretty dang good time. I think next time though we'll go to the one for bigger kids.



















It took a little bit of convincing, mostly because he just wanted to look around, but Davis finally gave in and fell asleep. It was nice because I never really rock him to sleep, when he sleeps he sleeps in his bassinett and seems to like it that way so it was nice to get some extra cuddles in, though I'm sure it wasn't as comfortable as his own bed. You should have seen the sleep wrinkles in his face when he woke up.
 And of course the boys had to check out the fun house mirrors as we were leaving. 
 
After that another quick trip home, a short cat nap for Davis and then Levi, Davis and I were back to the Dr. for Levi this time.

A few weeks before Christmas Levi got a cold like everyone else around here. By the time he was headed off to California with Grandma and Grandpa he still had a bit of a cough but I figured it would soon go away. Well, when he came back it was still there and did not sound pretty  so the first thing I did before sending him to school was getting it checked out. He didn't have any other real symptoms except the caugh. Turns out he had a sinus infection so we went on antibiotics. Well, we did that for a week and a half and it was still there so while I was at Davis appointment we made one for Levi that day to get it checked out again by our doctor (the one before was just who was on call).

So she did some tests and we checked for asthma and it turns out the cold might have caused some asthmatic symptoms so we got an inhaler along with another round of antibiotics just to be safe. He doesn't necessarily have asthma since he doesn't have the classic symptoms but it could have just been triggered by the cold. He's been on both meds since and the cough is almost gone, yea! And she said he can stop with the inhaler once the cough was gone and if it continued we would have to go back but it looks like were in the clear, for now. Jason had it pretty bad as a kid I hear, which would not be fun to deal will.

All's well that ends well I suppose.
