So Lukey-man will be 9 months old this Saturday. I can't even believe it. You hear parents say it often but it really is totally surreal. It's going by so fast. I mean, it really does feel like just yesterday I brought him home from the hospital and now he has 4 teeth, and is pulling up on everything, trying to walk, and babbles all the time. He's not a newborn anymore. But I really still feel like I just had a baby.
He had a fever today. All day. It started a little last night before bed. Sucks really bad because he's never been sick. He only had a fever once after shots. And he hasn't shown any symptoms of being sick. Just teething...which can cause the fever. And throughout the night he will cough like 4 times in a row and then go back to sleep. BUT it's not a sick cough. From what I researched, it could be the extra saliva from teething draining down his throat. It's crazy. And stressful. I barely slept last night because I was watching him and worried about him. And he practically slept all day. Had lots of long naps. We went to the movies to see Finding Dory. It was a long time coming. I've been waiting years for this movie. And it was pretty great. Luke was very interested in the trailers but fell asleep before the movie started and he probably only woke up when it ended because I moved him (I had to go pee so bad but couldn't risk waking him during the movie)
Finding Dory was rather humerous. And really nostalgic in some parts. It was really beautiful like the first one. And I'm so glad I got to see it in the theaters. I never saw Finding Nemo in theaters and I bet it looked awesome, so I'm pleased I got to see this one.
Great kids movie. Would recommend it to anyone. Seeing Dory as a baby was so fun. She was sweet. The movie made me want to cry in a few places. Especially as a mother now it made me think about a whole lot of other things so I tried not dwelling on it too much or I'd be sobbing. Lol
But yea, really great. Can't wait to buy it. Maybe I'll try to make Luke watch that all the time instead of Toy Story.
Luke's not very interested in television. He glances at it occasionally but not much. BUT I put Toy Story on the iPad for him to try to make car rides easier. Because he cries in his seat a lot and my family lives about an hour away. So often we would travel home at night and a few times it's been just he and I ,and he cries and it's a really rough trip home. Especially considering I'm driving through the country and can't stop anywhere in the dark and he's just so upset. So the iPad works. I prop it up at the end of his carseat and he watches it til he falls asleep. Sometimes he doesn't fall asleep at all. Lol
But he LOVES Toy Story. He smiles at it. It's adorable! It's definitely been a life saver. He would even cry when he first got put into the car seat so I'll set it up before sitting him in it now and he's happy. He loves it so much.
I'll probably definitely be getting him a Woody and Buzz for his birthday.
We considered doing a Toy Story theme for his first birthday but since it's so soon and he will be so young I want to save that for when he's a little older and can enjoy it more.
I'm planning on doing base ball themed. I already got a round cake plate to make an actual baseball shape. I'm so excited. Have the whole thing pretty much planned minus buying everything. I wanted to go simple and easy but still nice. And not breaking the bank!
I plan to blog and share pics of it whenever that happens.
But yea just a few random thoughts from me at 5 in the morning. So ta-ta for now
