Took Dru to the doc yesterday...

He was just acting really fussy ALL THE TIME. So, I took him in for a sick appointment. Turned out the kid was in a lot of pain. His ear infections never went away which means he's had the same double ear infection since mid-February! Poor lil dude. Plus he's getting all of his back teeth. There isn't even a spot of gums where I can't feel a Baby Dru Tooth trying to pop through. Going from 6 teeth to all of his teeth in sixty seconds.
And to top it off he woke up with a fever this morning. He's not eating much for me and he's got sick baby written all over him. The clingy, the exhausted and the lazy little booger.

Yesterday I was running late to pick up Dru from daycare. It costs a dollar a minute for every minute past 6 so I was speeding trying to get there from downtown. Totally didn't make it. Got there at 6:04. He was the sad little dude waiting all alone. I felt so bad. But she didn't end up charging us the fee. We had a pretty rough day & we treated ourselves to some mexican food. Dru ate very little. He would put 10% of what we have him in his mouth. Then, he would drop 50% of the tortillas, chips and chicken on the floor. Would anyone like to know where the other 40% of the food was going? UP HIS NOSE! Yes, new thing. Kinda weird. He's attempting to put just about everything (food wise) up his nose. The first time it happened I didn't see it. Nope. About a half hour after dinner was done and he was bathed I went to pick his nose for him. I thought I saw a booger up there. When the booger turned out to be a whole macaroni noodle I was astounded. I found the humor in it and twittered "Well, Dru isn't allowed to have anything that can fit up his nose anymore. Thank God that macaroni noodle was hollow!" But we have now learned that it doesn't have to necessarily be able fit up his nose. He was trying to put a whole chip up there last night. I have warned his father to watch closely while he eats this weekend. Pray we don't have an ER visit due to food up the nose!

Come on already!

Today is Monday...

Friday Dru walked. Three steps! But I was in another room, and since babies don't do things on demand he couldn't get him to do it again :( Then Saturday I got a text from Billy saying that he walked 3 or 4 steps for him. Yesterday, I was ready. His momma was ready to see him walk all by himself! AND, he did! He took three-ish steps right smack dab in front of me! I was thinking, 'come on already!' A few minutes before he finally did it. It was cute.
He went on to impress his daycare teacher, Christie today. She said he took FOUR steps! It happened while they were outside. SO PROUD!

Dinner Time

So I just gave Dru some chicken, applesauce and string cheese. (We'll have a vegetable later when Mommy has dinner.) I took some shots cuz I haven't in a while :(



I don't give him spoons very often. Because he bites onto it and never lets go. Doesn't use it for it's intended use either. Booger.



This one just looks evil. And look at his hand... It's like he's saying, "Come to the dark side." I love my evil baby.

Just regular ole updates...

I almost pulled Dru out of daycare. Nothing happened there it was for financial reasons. But now I think we'll be okay. I don't want to pull him anyways. He likes it there, and I love the teachers. I also worried that if I took him out and wanted to put him back in someday his spot wouldn't be there :( I wouldn't want to take him to a different place and have him meet a whole new group of kids and new teachers. I like his place, AwesomeDaycare*
I'm off to breakfast... Yep, 11 o clock and I haven't yet had breakfast.
