Sick Nick :(

My poor boy was sick last week :(  

He had his FIRST cold ...and I did not like it one bit!!

My friend who is a Nurse Practitioner told me that towards the end of a cold, it is VERY common for kids to get ear infections.  Nick did not seem uncomfortable at all nor had he been pulling on his ears or anything ...but I decided to take him to the Dr anyway just for a quick ear check.  I was literally SHOCKED when she said "Yep - he has a mild ear infection in his left ear!"  She said it was something that could go away on its own but since he was not quite 2 yet she thought it would be better to just treat it ...I agreed!  The last thing my little man needs is for it to get worse :(

These are his STATS at 19 Months!

Weight: 21.5lbs

Height: 32.5

My BOY!

Being sick does NOT keep this kid from playing  lol

Yep - I GREW!!!

WooHoo he GREW!!!  He had his biggest growth spurt since he was born!  He grew an inch and a half since his last well check on 8/8/12!!  He went from 14th percentile (he has never been more than 16th in height) to 34th percentile!!!  His weight however, has him back in 2nd percentile. Which considering he was sick is not bad at all ...he is never above 3rd anyways!  

So as soon as we left, he got his usual cheer up toy (I can't help but spoil him!) and some new pants!!  We are finally now in 12 month jeans!! (great for length but still big on the waist lol)

Vroom Vroom

LOVES his new RED CAR!

This boy is soooo LOVED!  His PopPop also got him something because he had not been feeling well :)  And nothing better than more new CARS!!  You wouldn't believe how many cars this kid has ..its insane lol

Marshfield Fair

We missed the fair last year (due to my surgery being the same week!!) so this year I was NOT going to miss it! :)  Lucky me ...we got VIP parking and passes to go!  My friends Dad is on the board for the fair and hooked us up =)

 

Just a few (of many) pics:

We LOVE the beach!  It has been such a HOT summer that the cool (and if you have ever been to the East coast you know I mean COLD) water felt great ....well for a little bit anyways!  :)

Another Year OLDER!

Happy 31st Birthday to ME!!!

I am just LOVING my 30s!!  Who knew getting older would be so much FUN!  I am married to my best friend, have the absolute cutest kid ever ...life is just going GREAT! :)

My day started off with lots of giggles from my boy ...he is just the happiest kid! Then Nick and I headed over to my friend Janelle's house and she made us lunch and we had so much fun hanging out and talking while the kids swam and played!  I also got to meet Fay, my friend Deirdre's little newborn girl :)  I really have such amazing friends!!

Then off to dinner Hubbs and I went!  We didn't end up where we planned (it was closed for renovations) so we went to Legacy Place in Dedham and ate at PF Chang's!  We thought about a movie, but honestly ..I would rather sleep :)  ...see, I'm getting old! lol

a few pics celebrating my day of birth :)

I was spoiled {as always!} and had a WONDERFUL birthday!!  I really am one LUCKY lady!

Until next year :)

XO
