8mon

Hes now 8mon..........he has 2teeth coming in on top. His personality is just like daddy, silly. Angel loves to scare people, he will randomly just growl at you if he knows you well. He giggles when he drops his snacks on the kitchen floor and the dogs eat it =) yes he feeds them his animal crackers its cute.

When hes on the floor and his sister and cousin are running around in the hall he tries to go with them but gets upset when they out run him, hell yell "ey!" meaning "wait for me!" lol.

When he wants your attention hell grunt.......when hes tired he wont tell you hell just rub his eyes and try to keep playing so he can avoid sleep. I mainly put him down for his nap (in the afternoon) and when its bed time, I do this by rocking him, OH BOY~ when you sit in that rocking chair he will start to fuss, he knows the routine. Speaking of routine, his sleep is better. He is back in his bed, we wont put him in ours until I'm about to go to work.

Food wise he eats better, he loves fresh banana, I started giving it to him again and I'm monitoring how he is with it, as long as hes not backed up hes ok. He enjoys eating white rice and pieces of bread.He has also started to enjoy a Popsicle with daddy or sister when its hot outside .

He loves to still kiss you, again only if he knows you well, hes starting to be aware of strangers. Hes teething so his kisses start off sweet then you will be bitten =/ ouch!! he will squeeze your face , his smile melts you.

When were in the kitchen he sits in his highchair and will chat with you, while playing with his spoon or any tupperware small enough for him.

I cant wait for him to be running around, I'm ready for him.........He loves his sisters to pieces, he wont pull Akiras hair, he likes for her to feed him, sometimes shell be the only one hell eat with (yes I love that and she does also...sometimes)

As for Gena, she's gentle with him, doesn't hold him hes a wiggle worm, but he LOVES to pull her hair.....she wont be upset she softly tells him "no papa don't pull my hair k?" shes so sweet.........he smiles when he sees them and screeches out of excitement with both of them.

I love my kids......they all complete a piece of me...the girls, the girlie part I really don't have ...they get me to paint their nails and think about doing their hair and noticing how I can be a better example......

for angel, he brings out the tomboy I've been hiding....(since having girls) I like to play rough (gently) with him...I cant wait to run around with him with trucks <3 God knew what I needed.......and now I have them

thanks for cking up on him =)

Angels first ER visit.

This past Saturday Angel was sick, he had a fever of 101.5 which was the highest it got. I gave him Tylenol and it didn't really budge. He seemed fine and wasn't very fussy, I gave him a bath and even put a cold cloth on his forehead while Oni had the fans near him....nothing. We decided to call the nurse hotline and once I got ahold of someone they recommended we go to the ER at Children's, mainly because I told them his urine had a strong smell and I was worried it was a urine infection.

Once we got to the ER he was seen right away, there wasn't many ppl there. His temp was still 101.5 they weighed him and let me know we can give him Children's Motrin 1tbsp............he was extremely fussy by this time it was already 12am and he hasn't slept or ate much plus they cked his blood pressure on his ankle and he was not happy. Once we went to the back and the Dr came he checked his ears and so on and then his throat, and that's when

1)Angel screamed and cried 2) they discovered he had red spots in his throat.

Yup.......handfootmouth disease or herpangina.......its common in small kids..they can get it from anywhere that isn't very clean, that morning I took him with me to get some groceries and for the FIRST time I put him in the cart like a big boy, yes I cleaned it...but he kept grabbing the belt of the seat next to him which I didn't clean that well, I'm not saying he got sick from that exact situation but its a possibility....yes I felt awful although I know it wasn't done on purpose as a mother I felt responsible for it. They also cked his urine and while that happened I wanted to cry..I kept kissing his forehead telling him it will be over soon and that I'm sorry.....I felt helpless....Im sure he did also.

I left the ER within 1hr of being there....we went home without meds, we could only give him Motrin. The nights were restless, he didn't eat much or sleep or even drink much. Today hes ALOT better his spots are gone and hes now sleeping more . As for food not much, turns out hes afraid that it will hurt =(

Im writing this to let you know what happened now that hes better, I haven't had much sleep and its been hard to do much, since hes been sick hes been VERY attached to me. I mean...he cries when I leave the room while Oni holds him and throws himself on me when I'm near.....he sleeps when I hold him but wont with daddy... he will cry and fuss until I get him. This was his first major illness.=(

thanks for cking on him
