This week has been SO long. Even though I was home on Monday and Tuesday and then Stratton went to stay with Jarrod's parent's Wednesday it seems like it has been the longest week. I guess that has a lot to do with the fact that we have all been sick and are not sleeping well. I will be so glad when everyone is well and back to normal! Jarrod is still pretty congested, but he is getting better. And Stratton seems to be feeling much better, too. If the pictures that Margie has been sending me are any indication, he is all smiles! I think the cough suppressant/decongestant medicine that they gave him makes him hyper! Has anyone else had this happen?
The things we will do to keep a fussy baby happy, right?!
He will suck this medicine dispenser dry! He seems to really like the pink antibiotic. All I have to do is stick it in his mouth and he goes to town!
I don't know if I mentioned it before but Stratton as learned some new tricks! He can wave bye-bye (when he wants to. . .haha) and has learned to clap! I noticed Tuesday night we had Wheel of Fortune on and when the contestants clapped for each other, Stratton clapped, too! He is such a smartie!! You can just say "Yay! Stratton!" and he will clap for himself! This is all funny till he starts doing it in church, huh?! He is also stuck on the "B" sounds. He hasn't mumbled "momma" in weeks! He says "Baa" a lot. It makes since, we do use a lot of "b" words! Baby, bottle, bite, boy, book, bear, bug, bye-bye, boo", ect. . .He is just getting to big and so smart! In two weeks he will be 9 months old?! That's just crazy!!!
