Santa and more!


This past few days have been busy for baby M! On Friday, Michael went back to the doctor since his bronchiolitis has been lingering for several weeks now. Auntie Amanda came with us! Thank goodness because we had so much to carry out after the appointment. Michael received another breathing treatment at the office and this time it helped with his wheezing and congestion in his chest. They gave us a pump and a prescription for albuteral. She also checked his ears and found the beginnings of an infection in his left ear so we also got a script for amoxicilion. Poor little guy. Just can't seem to shake this cold. He is still taking his C-Phen drops to help with the congestion. He did so incredibly well though. Dr. Park had a difficult time getting to look in his ear because he was so obsessed with looking at himself in the mirror, sticking his tongue out and smiling :) Since it wasn't his 4 month check up, they only weighed the little man... 17 lbs! (Daddy just measured him... 26 inches.) After the appointment, mommy and auntie Amanda dropped little man off at Daycare.

Later that night, Mommy and Michael traveled down to Oxford for auntie Amanda's bridal shower. He was a little fussy due to his cold but did well! He never cried but had a difficult time getting his food down because of the phlegm. Overall, the trip was a success! He had a blast watching auntie Amanda open all her gifts.




On Saturday morning, Daddy got Michael ready to go meet Santa!! After everyone was ready, we hopped in the car and headed to the mall. We got there early so we wouldn't have to wait long. Michael was sleeping upon arrival but woke up when we were in line, just before his visit with Santa. Daddy did such a great job getting Michael to look at him and smile. Michael didn't seem to care too much for Santa. He looked at everything but Santa! :) The trip was a success though and Mommy and Daddy were also good... we only bought one thing, the Snowmen singing thingy from Hallmark since Michael was so captivated by it. Mommy found Michael's Xmas gift next year, a FL Gator light weight stroller :)







Today, we have been relaxing, enjoying the weekend before a hectic week of work. Michael has spent the morning watching cartoons and playing with the musical Snowmen thing Daddy bought yesterday. We are almost ready for Xmas!



Hope everyone is well and enjoying the holiday season! Love Kim, Mike, and Michael :)

Yeah, we love the reaction of everyone when we tell them he's only 3 1/2 months old! It must've been that Texas water I had when I lived there... He's a big ol' boy :)
