When Daddy has the camera (Part 2)

Hmmm...it seems J is all about a posed picture.  Here's what he did with Sam this time:

I wonder what he's going to do next.

Our first trip to the Indy zoo! (Pic heavy!)

It was 80 degrees today.  The perfect day for a trip to the zoo with some mom friends from the message board I belong to.  Sam was a complete angel today with no crying AT ALL while we were out.  He even smiled for pictures and slept in his stroller.

Sam dozing when we first got to the zoo:

Time for lunch!

My favorites at the zoo...the giraffes! 

(Please take note of Sam's sun hat.)

Sam wasn't interested in the lions: 

He fell asleep by the time we got to the elephants:

What a great Sunday! 

I <3 my family!

Sam's naptime buddy

Sam likes to nap in my arms and not in his crib.  :-(  Sometimes I can get him to nap in his carseat.  Here's his most recent naptime buddy (gift from daddy):

The next two are pretty grainy b/c I didn't use the flash and I'm trying to convince J that I need a new camera.

Remember when this was Sam and his buddy?  (Can you believe how much he's changed?!)



When Daddy has the camera...

These are the pics of Sam that I get:

And we're moving on to veggies

Sam didn't enjoy the rice cereal so much and I thought about giving him oatmeal (and still might) but decided that we'd try some veggies b/c maybe my son, like me, enjoys delicious tasting foods and not bland cereals.

Sam ate his sweet potatoes up like a champ!  I tried rice and formula mixed together with some sweet potatoes but Sam prefers his sweet potatoes straight up and not mixed with anything.

First bite and Sam's not too sure:

By the end he's happy.  I'm not sure how he managed to get sweet potatoes on his forehead but whatev!

The Effing Virus! Ugh!

This virus is kicking Sam's butt and exhausting us all.  Yesterday, Sam was coughing up a storm and his breathing was just awful.  He was wheezing and breathing hard.  We were very concerned.  A trip to the immediate care center (which BTW, is apparently the hopping place to hang out on Friday nights if you're a parent) led to another breathing treatment that failed to make a difference in Sam's breathing.  We were then sent to the Children's Hospital's ER. 

Once there, Sam had basically had enough.  He was inconsolable and just cried and cried.  I know he was miserable and tired and hungry.  He got another breathing treatment that didn't work.  They put him on oxygen (so sad to watch) and he finally fell asleep in my arms.  The docs admitted him, we moved up to our room and J, Sam and I settled down for the night.  Sam didn't need any oxygen while he slept during the night (Yay!) and they finally released us around noon today. 

Everyone is exhausted.  Sam's been napping since we got home.  Hopefully this stupid, effing virus leaves our house very soon or I'm going to lose it.

Here's poor Sam looking just adorable in his hospital gown:

Napping on Mommy right before being discharged:





Sweet baby.

  
And here's a happy pic of Sam from earlier in the day yesterday:

Go away RSV!

Poor Sam is sick.  The doc thinks it is RSV.  Sam had to have a chest x-ray (which came back clear) and a nebulizer treatment.  There isn't anything we can do but monitor Sam and hopefully he'll feel better soon.

Here's our little bug getting his treatment.  He hated it but stopped screaming when he saw me taking a pic.  :-)
