Update

Lindon has starting eating baby food. He loves it and has taken to it a lot faster than Claire did. So far he's eaten rice cereal, apple sauce, bananas, and peas.

We're also house hunting. We've been casually looking for about 1.5 years but have really been looking at a bunch of houses these past few weeks. Hopefully we find a house soon. I don't think I can take much more stress and anxiety!

Here we go again...

So Lindon has Salmonella again, but since he's older than 3 months he won't have to go back into the hospital. They won't even treat me at all if he doesn't get really sick. He also has had a barking cough for a couple weeks. The doctor wasn't too worried, but when it turned croupy I got worried and brought him back to the doctor. It was determined that Lindon had RSV because he was wheezing really bad. So we had to spend money on a breathing machine and medicine for that.

To make things worse Claire has been having tee-tee accidents for a couple days and saying that it hurt to go so I took her to the doctor also. She has a UTI. When I called the pharmacy to get a quote on how much Lindon's medicine was they said that insurance covered half of it, but it was still $103! When I got to the pharmacy I discovered that it was Claire's UTI medicine that was $103. Are you kidding me?? $103 for UTI medicine!! They pharmacy was nice enough to call the doctor to see if they could prescribe something a little bit cheaper.

The breathing treatments are helping him a lot. He's still coughing quite a bit, but he's not wheezing as bad.

We've also been looking at buying a house. We found one we liked but found out yesterday that it sold. What a bummer! We'll just keep looking I guess.

My lil cousin, Ashley and Claire

Christmas was great. We spent the morning here at home opening gifts and enjoying each other's company. Then we drove to Odomville to have Christmas dinner with my family. Kev got a lot of accessories for his truck; a new CD player, Astros license plate covers, Astros floor mats and head rest covers, and some other things. I got a new scanner, copier, printer combo, a new camera, a book, and more other things. Claire got a Furreal Kitty Cat and a Disney Princess doll castle from Santa, some princess dolls, Whoopsie Doo baby doll from Gammy and Paw Paw, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs from Geezer and Awna D. Lindon got a play mat and some toys. Fun times...

UPDATE ON THE FAMILY

Lindon cut his first tooth a few days ago! I was in shock because Claire was over a year old before she cut her first one. He also has been able to roll over for a few weeks now. He has already had his first hair cut on Friday, and he's only 4 months. It was so long though. My good friend Ralane cut it for me and it looks great!

BEFORE (haircut)

AFTER

We have also started feeding him solids. He got the hand of it WAY faster than Claire did. He doesn't make much of a mess until he puts his fingers in his mouth then drags food all over his face.

He's a thumb sucker!
