Roads to recovery!

Video of my busy little 8 month old playing hard...

So Saturday Will starting showing signs of a cold by Monday is nose was running like a river and cough was even worse so daddy took off work and took him to the doc. She said to wait and it should get better soon. By Wednesday not only was Will worse worse worse, momma was not feeling so hot either. Gigi came over to help us get better and after contemplating all day that afternoon I took Will back to the doc. His one ear was getting worse than it was Monday and since he was not getting ANY better on his own she got us some antibiotics and advised us to begin the breathing treatments to help him get over this awful cough. He takes the meds twice a day like normal and has only had 3 rounds and I can already see a HUGE improvement. Thank goodness. It was literally breaking my heart watching this little boy cough so hard. I am trying to keep a log of when Will has gotten sick and his medicines, when I have time I am going to go through the blog and document all of this. I think this is his third time on antibiotics.

While Gigi was helping Wednesday I whipped up a double batch of homemade lasagna and took that, bread, and brownies over to Jackie and her family. I love helping people out and even more so when they are so appreciative. I cant tell you how many "thank yous" I have gotten from them. I cant imagine what she is going through with two kiddos around so anything we can do I know is a huge help to them!

8 month man

My little booger turned 8 months old last Friday! So to be technical William has been in my life for about the same amount of time I knew he was in my tummy! Kinda crazy huh!
Speaking of crazy, Will  is active as ever and trying so many new things daily... today it was eating dog food, wonder what tomorrow will bring! He is my life, he is the best parts of my day, and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I love him too much for words to express and his smile can melt away any bad day in an instant.
William is growing like a weed and when he got weighted to be fitted for his car seat he was almost 22 pounds! He is loving swimming and summer and so are we! Arnt some things just so much more fun now that you share them with a little one?!
Sometimes it seems like a new milestone happens everyday, I am still so thankful I keep up with the blog to be able to look back on these times. Like everyone says they go by in a blink of an eye... take TOO many pictures, give TOO many kisses, and of course Wills favorite: dance like no one is watching. When Luke and I dance around and act silly he thinks it is the funniest thing in the world and it is one of those special family moments I hold dear to my heart.
Happy eight months Mr. William... your the coolest kid I know.
