SHE THINKS MY TRACTOR'S SEXY

When Charley and I got home David was working on the tractor. Of course David couldn't resist giving Charley a ride. Charley liked it til the tractor started moving and then he started crying. It was so pretty outside we walked out to the pasture to see Freckles, Charley's pony. I can't wait til he gets big enough to enjoy being outside playing!!

Sick Baby

On February 10th I took Charley to the doctor because he had been coughing and it was getting worse. We got to the doctor at 3:30 and he wasn't running fever, but his breathing was labored and he was weasing and raddling in his chest. By 4:00 his fever went up t0 102. He had a double ear infection and bronchitis. The doctor gave him a rosephin shot and a very strong antibiotic and sent us home. I took off work the next day to stay home with him and he did not get any better or worse. Friday morning school was called off because of snow and Charley had gotten worse over night so I took him back to the doctor. This time the doctor told us he had developed bronchilitus and his breathing was so rapid that he may have to be hospitalized. They gave him two albuteral breathing treatments before his breathing slowed down (from 83 breaths per minute to 45 breaths per minute). We went home with an inhaler and continued antibiotics. That night we had to go to the ER because his breathing got bad again. A respiratory therapist came in and sucked everything out of his nose and throat. The doctor sent us home with continued breathing treatments. By Monday Charley was much better and he went back to Dawn's house on Tuesday. This was his second double ear infection so we will be seeing and ENT soon. He has been healthy since this episode of sickness, just a little cough her and there :)

Super Bowl

We went to Josh and Erica's house to watch the super bowl with some friends. Charley enjoyed watching his first supper bowl game!!

Time to eat

On February 6, 2010 Charley got to eat from a spoon for the first time. He didn't know what to think about it at first and he didn't like the cereal. On February 8 we gave him green beans for the first time and he loved them. He would open his mouth every time the spoon came close and would grunt between mouth fulls. We introduced vegtables first and he loved, green beans, sweet potatos, squash, and carrots. The only vegtable he did not like was sweet peas and he gagged the entire time I tried to feed him, I finally gave up and decided to save them for another day. We started fruits on February 28 and so far he has not liked bananas or prunes. We are trying pears tonight so we will have to see how it goes. I gues since we started vegtables first he will have to aquire a taste for the fruits. I can't believe my little man is growing so fast.
