Wouldn't you know that little man is sick in both these pictures? Two Fridays ago I updated and Beckham had just gotten sick with a fever. He ended up with an ear infection. Over that weekend he was tired and puny. As the week went on he started having a lot of drainage and congestion. Then on Mother's Day he ended up with a lot of goop in his eyes. As the day went on it got worse so we ended up taking him to the Express Care and womp womp...double pink eye. We got eye drops and started them that night. The next day his eyes were already getting better though he was still snotty and wimpy. That evening he started having a really bad cough. Several times in the middle of the night he woke up with a croupy bark like cough, which we are familiar with since Parker has had croup several times. So we did the shower steam first and then in the early morning I sat with him outside. The next morning he had a fever again and was just dripping green snot! So we went back to the doctor and he had another ear infection :( The doctor said that if he gets another we may have to think about doing tubes since he's had 4 ear infections since January...well 5 if count the double one.
Today I think we are finally starting to get better. His nose is still runny but so much less than even yesterday. He hasn't had a fever in a couple of days and his eyes haven't had any drainage. I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes that we are finished with sickness in this house for a while!

In the past 2-3 weeks Beckham has had 4 goose eggs from standing or pulling up and then falling. He is such a(n innocent) troublemaker that I swear I'm always hovering over him so he doesn't crash and hurt his head again...so I bought one of these funny foam helmets. Parker is obsessed with making sure he's wearing it and Beckham could care less that it's on. So it's pretty much a win win all around - as long as he's wearing it. Because of course on Mother's Day, as soon as we got home from breakfast he bit the dust in the driveway and got a huge goose egg.
Likes: throwing his toys on the floor (from his car seat, the stroller, the shopping cart, everywhere!), feeding the dog his food, getting into mischief, petting the dog, trying to pet the cat, bouncing, crawling after people, talking to people on the phone
Dislikes: being held very much, still doesn't like eggs
What's New in the Last Week: Well he developed another fever - 102.2 :( I ended up bring Parker to the doctor because his ear hurt and of course, another ear infection. He checked Beckham's ears and no infection yet. He gave me a prescription in case he gets worse this weekend, so I have my fingers crossed! **Well I wrote that this morning and then his fever went up to 103* so I called the doctor and he told me to go ahead and fill the prescription. So he started that tonight and still has a fever. Hopefully he'll start the upward swing tomorrow!
Other than that, he's just been exploring the entire house, chasing after Parker and trying to get everything he has! Parker is pretty good about that most of the time!
poor little sick sickie
so much sleeping this week
But there's a smile!
Drop it like it's hot!
Baby dino rain coat...that we've had to use so much this week!
Parker is really into "Man Against the Machine" by Garth Brooks, so he had to introduce Beckham to the song...clearly he liked it because he was gettin down!
We were all laying in bed resting due to being sick...so we were playing peekaboo! He kept pulling the blanket up but I couldn't really catch it on video.
Well this week has been eventful. Parker started running a fever in the middle of the night Friday and just more sick as the days went on. By Tuesday Beckham was running a fever and had a runny nose and cough. So by late afternoon we decided to head to the doctor with both kids. Parker ended up having a double ear infection and luckily Beckham's ear were fine. He is still sick but hopefully it is getting better not worse. He has been pretty fussy at times and still somewhat happy at others.
Likes: playing with Parker, musical toys, food
Dislikes: being sick
What's New in the Last Week: He got his first cold :(
What a week! Parker started the week out being sick with a really runny nose which then turned into a cough. I also have had parent conferences after school all week so we are a little behind in the blog department! I know his fans are waiting ;) On the plus side Clint has gotten in quite a bit of daddy time!
Likes: he has finally war,ed up to the whole food idea, snuggling, tickles, waving his toys around, banging his brush on the wall when getting his diaper changed
Dislikes: being sick
What's New in the Last Week: he has eaten oatmeal, pears, and applesauce in addition to sweet potatoes bananas and avocado. I also have given him steamed carrots and he gnawed on those for a while but I don't think they were soft enough to get any bits off.
