We Are Working On The Solid Food Thing

Who wants to eat food, when you can squish it between your fingers and toes.

Dax woke up about twenty times last night having trouble breathing. So we are back to the breathing treatments. Which means Dax gets to watch lots of Baby Einstein. (We watch the videos to distract him while doing the treatments.) When he finally gets to sleep for a short period, I wake up in panic because I haven't heard him in thirty minutes. I'm exhausted.

Dax Sweats Profusely When He Sleeps...

Dax fell asleep on me here. He was dripping sweat from his head. Is this normal? He does it all the time!

Slowly Mastering The Sippy Cup

Notice I'm paying attention to something in the background. Mom would like to say she was showing me a stimulating array of historic art or the music to a symphony or even just those basic ABC flash cards, but no, I was in fact intently watching American Idol with Daddy - so much for getting into that exclusive preschool.

Dax Not Impressed With THe Dallas Art Museum

Yes - After we went to the doctor we went to the DMA. It's free the first Tuesday of every month. I'm not good at staying at home - you can imagine what our apartment looks like! We just spent an hour there before they closed and Dax slept through the whole thing. I figured that if a ceiling fan interests him, surely I could find something there that would grab his attention, but he slept. We'll try again next month. (I dont know how to email respond to the comments)

Oh - Yea - I'm up to 20lb 14.8 oz!

Yikes - no wonder momma's back is killing her!

Allergies Allergies.

So Dax decided we weren't staying too long at the Arboretum today - he was reeeaaallly fussy. He supposedly has allergies and this is the season. But I needed reassurance he wasn't sick before we leave town. So we made a quick trip to the doc this afternoon and she still says its only allergies. We are going to try Clarinex again for a few weeks and see how he does. I've never really dealt with the allergy stuff much myself - so I'm not really sure what to look for other than the congestion. Any experts out there reading my blog? We'll see how he does in Houston and Austin.

Pics From Houston.

My friend Emily gave me these pics from her camera if I promised not to crop myself out of them. I don't really see a need to watch myself age as Dax grows up. It's just depressing. So here are both versions just for you, Emily. You have to admit the cropped versions are better!!

Swinging

This ideo isn't too interesting, but we do the swing thing all the time. So I thought I'd take a video. Notice Dax's lovly comb over all falls to the middle while he's swinging.

Music Day

I am really impressed. I don't think I'm impressed easily, maybe I am. But we did a free trial music class that a friend recommended, www.musictogetherdallas.com , today and it was really good. We may try to join in the Summer session. I recommend checking it out if you've not done so before. Dax loved it. I got him a few musical toy instruments to play with at home.

Shoes

For the few moms that check out my blog (mostly my family just looks at it)...Im looking for recommendations on walking shoes. I found a brand called preschoolians that is supposed to better simulate bare feet. Has anyone tried those? Other brands? I'm not a Robeez fan.
