End of the Blog
I am no longer going to post in this blog... as I am sure you have already figured out.
Allen is a year old and doing everything that a young man his age should be doing... it has been an eventful first year and I am looking forward to his second year...

H1N1 and Allen
http://www.flu.gov/individualfamily/parents/index.html
Allen has H1N1 along with an ear infection and respiratory infection. He has a constant temp that goes down but not away with tylenol, his little nose is snotty, his eyes are watery and icky, he has a raspy cough and I feel so helpless...
I am worried...
I don't usually worry about the flu~ it is just the flu, right? But this one? This one is a doosey... Allen is just a baby~ a little guy and he has the respiratory infection that the CDC worries about with this strain...
My poor baby...

Odd sort of anniversary
Today is my son's father's birthday... he is not around for our son and our son will never celebrate one of his father's birthdays with him... but in this first year of my son's life, I thought that this was a day to document for him in his journal...
As I said, an odd aniversary~ so birthday greetings to baby's daddy~ since if he hadn't been born then my delightful little guy wouldn't have been born...

Happy 9th Month Birthday Baby Boy!
Saturday October 3, 2009 was my baby boys 9th month birthday~ time is flying by!
He is right on track for all developmental stuff~ he is crawling everywhere, pulls himself up to stand, will take a few unsteady steps when he is hanging on to the sofa, will take a few steps holding on to Mommy's hands...
He has discovered the joys of toys that do stuff~ cars that make popping noises when you roll them are a current favorite. He is still in the everything to the mouth stage and tastes everything he gets his little hands on.
I am joyful that we are still breastfeeding~ my little guy is also eating a variety of solids. He loves yogurt, peaches, apricots, pears, apples, honey dew, watermellon, cantaloup, grapes, chicken, green beans, peas, carrots, and COOKIES!
Cookies aren't just traditional cookies, when sister first offered him a ritz cracker, she called it a cookie and so it stuck~ cookies are cookies and crackers. He is our little cookie monster. Loves the chocolate chip cookies and ritz crackers best.
He turned his nose up at Mac and Cheese~ took a taste and was done. Tried it 3 times and no go. So now we wait until he is older to try it again. But he likes cheese by itself, especially cheddar cheese.
So that is about it for Allen's 9 month update... he is growing up big and strong just like we want him too!

Someone Sent
Today, the fragility of life came rushing home to me...
Allen was in the big bath with his sister, she was watching him play while I got the get out of bath stuff together. All of a sudden I hear a splash....
I turn around and my baby boy is totally submerged, his eyes wide, and in just that split second it took to make the two steps to the edge of the tub went from thrashing to still. I pulled him up out of the tub and he is not breathing. Although I am sure it was only seconds, it seemed a life time as I tried to remember what to do, my mind blank with fear as his little face went from crimson red to shades of purple. I yelled for my 22 year old. He came on the run...
Be it from first aid training or instinct I don't know, but he wrapped his arms around the baby and squeezed firmly but gently and Allen let out a sputter and then the sweetest wailing cry I think I have ever heard. He handed the baby back to me and stood there holding my baby, trembling and so grateful to God and my older son that a tragedy had been adverted.
