Mother's Day was a little stressful this year, but still a blessed one none the less. We started our day going out to breakfast with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tata</span>. Miles was fantastic, because he always is when food is involved, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>! Eli on the other hand had started running a fever. He just wanted to be held by me, so eating my breakfast wasn't going to happen. We had to leave sooner than expected due to his melt down. (Which is very out of character for Eli!) After sleeping for 4 HOURS, Eli woke up, screaming like crazy until he was in my arms. This is how I spent much of my day:</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S_c4pyi7deI/AAAAAAAAes4/UPq6K_uytaM/s1600/DSC_0287-1.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473906162686195170" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S_c4pyi7deI/AAAAAAAAes4/UPq6K_uytaM/s400/DSC_0287-1.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"> Grammy LOVED her pictures that we did!

He is FINALLY sleeping through the night, napping, AND putting himself to sleep! I cannot explain how good it feels to finally have my hands free when he's asleep. He's cruising everywhere, and just started taking steps! I'm not ready for my little man to walk yet. He is a fantastic eater, and such a happy little man. He loves to play ball, peek-a-boo, do "so big", and babble like a mad man. Mama is his most used word, and I don't mind that one bit! ;) Miles, you're a joy to have in our family, and our lives would be so empty without you!

We all came down with the most horrible stomach bug. Miles even had to go to the ER for some fluids and some Zofran to help settle his little tummy. He couldn't even hold his head up or keep his eyes open, it was so scary! It's so horrible seeing your little ones in so much misery, and it's even worse when you have it too and can't take care of them. Here are my poor little men at the very end of it, finally starting to feel better. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S8Xk0ACR2eI/AAAAAAAAb10/7QXLtUwMI78/s1600/DSC_0756.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460021705270483426" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S8Xk0ACR2eI/AAAAAAAAb10/7QXLtUwMI78/s400/DSC_0756.JPG" /></span></a>The Salem Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02462155714458311236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273772814407249103.post-84139226931536761912010-03-28T22:34:00.000-04:002010-04-01T08:11:07.790-04:00Happy Birthday and Congrats Aunt Lynn!!<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Today we had a double celebration...my Aunt Lynn's birthday AND her retirement!

We went to the doctor and the peanut is starting to grow finally. He weighed 18lbs 6oz, (25%) and was in the 75% for height. He is crawling EVERYWHERE now, as well as pulling up and walking around furniture. I'm sooo not ready for him to walk! He's a fantastic eater, and is completely on table foods. It's amazing watching how much food he can pack away, seeing how small he is.

Today, we sadly had to put Armani down. She had gotten sick, and we didn't want her to be in any more pain. Eli doesn't quite understand where she went, but he notices that Armani is no longer there. As well as being a buddy to Eli, Armani also LOVED Miles, which says a lot, lol. She was a wonderful addition to our family, and we'll miss her spunky attitude! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69UH-_jI8I/AAAAAAAAaeM/QKDvFofdEP0/s1600/armani2"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453670169914319810" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69UH-_jI8I/AAAAAAAAaeM/QKDvFofdEP0/s400/armani2" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69UHssCNWI/AAAAAAAAaeE/O5PWe79HOrY/s1600/DSC_0561.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453670165000631650" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69UHssCNWI/AAAAAAAAaeE/O5PWe79HOrY/s400/DSC_0561.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69LRBFFXaI/AAAAAAAAac8/RMCXqT4ujFA/s1600/armani"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 390px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453660429488577954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jHadQjmafOM/S69LRBFFXaI/AAAAAAAAac8/RMCXqT4ujFA/s400/armani" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">We love and miss you Armani!</span></div></div></div>The Salem Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02462155714458311236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273772814407249103.post-20641075659351994602010-03-21T22:37:00.001-04:002010-03-25T23:09:34.738-04:00Trees falling, and crawling!<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">We spent the day at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grammy's</span> today, where the boys always have such a blast!
