The Many Faces of Julian

Today was another eventful day!.. We woke up late( 8:30 ) and was already in houma for 10:40 to see the easter bunny at 11! We met aunt Kiki there... :)

We arrived there kinda early, and the mall had just opened so it was totally empty, so I let Julian run around the picture set up/common area while waiting for Mr. Peter Cottontail. Well, the lady told me that the bunny was on his way, so I was walking about 12 or so feet behind Julian when the bunny cut the corner. They were basically face to face & Julian turned around so fast and hot tailed it to his momma, prying himself inbetween my leggs & begging me to hold him. He was not so fond of the bunny. After letting a few people go before us, he kind of saw the he was our friend, and eased his grip on me. I sat him on the bunny's lap and he whined, cried a little but finally allowed one good picture.( it will be posted tomorrow)
After pictures we went eat Canes..yum. and headed straight home afterward, of course Julian crashed in the car, so he napped for another house and half after we got home.
When he woke, we got a surprise call from daddy!!!! It only lasted a few short minutes, but it was still such a delight to hear his voice say," hey baby" :).. Julian was happy to talk to him as well.. he gave daddy a kiss through the phone, and made sound effects so dada could hear, " mmmuuuuaaaahhhh" with a smack of the lips at the very end! :) how precious!

Tonight I was able to get a few snapshots of Julian in his big boy undies ( his diaper is under). We are tring to start taking small steps towards potty training!


&&& being the ham that he is, he had to show his face...are you ready?

When I put powder on his body i sqeeze it fast & say "poof" he loves it... so he wanted to try!

Rubbing his sleepy eyes.. after "poofing his chest & chin!

let the faces begin..

The one below is my person favorite!!! Look at mommy's sweetheart!!

&& thats all for today folks! :) Enjoy!

we did not get around to seeing peter cotton tail today..but did in fact get alot done.
We hung around the house until after Julians napp..then ate nuggets & macNcheese! Yum.
Once finished, we headed to the bank, then post office to mail daddy another package. At the post office, waiting for the lady to open back up after lunch..a lady heard me talking to Julian about sending a package to daddy. the lady asked to Julian, " you sending this to daddy?.." then asked me where his dad was. I told her he was deployed and Julian says, " dada, ship" Heee is sooooo smart! i mean, i tell him daily how daddy is at work, on a ship. making muulaa- or daddy will come home soon, daddy loves you. && today he showed me.. that he is actually listening.

after mailing off Josh's package.. we headed to the library, where we got Julian bookoo books! :)
then to walgreens to get new toothbrush && juice &milk!
then to mims to visit.

Then went to mawmaw & pawpaw's to visit.

then went to aunt connie's to get my book & saw Makhi was over next door visiting!.. i sware when they saw each other they ran to each other like long lost friends!.. & begun to play right away.

Today was a semi busy day for Julian & I. This morning we woke up & had to rush rush to get dressed and get everything together so i could bring him to my moms while I went to the dentist. My grandmother "watched him"- but not really.. because he fell asleep for nap before i even left and was still asleep when i returned, haha. that was a easy job! :P

Once I returned & he woke we headed to Kenner to eat lunch with mawmaw linda && get mommy's new camera daddy bought for ME! :)
Of course we came home so I could play with it.. && Julian loved that he was able to play outside

hahaha my kid is such a dare devil.

After playing with it, we headed back to mawmaw's so I could wash my car & put some clothes to wash.

Here is my monkey waiting to go back outside- LOOK AT those choppers!

Mail time MAil time MMAAILL timmeeee

&& yeah that was pretty much our day. We are hoping to have a picnic tomorrow && to see the easter bunny! :)

Our weekend..

Finally over the sickness! THANK YOU JESUS!!!..
Friday-Julian & I stayed home, to insure Julian was for sure getting better. Saturday, Julian was 100 % better... it was such a relief to wake up to a smiling baby! With the comformation that Julian was in deed better.. I threw some clothes on him & headed out the door to go get New Moon from walmart. On our way out the door, my mom called to tell me I had two boxes delievered from Target! YAY.. it was Julian's bathroom decor!.. It literally took me 2 weeks to decide what theme i wanted to go with in his bathroom!.. && here it is!..

I am so thrilled with it!..&& i got a little night light plug in that matches the monkeys!.. too freakin cute!!

After picking up the boxes, we went straight to walmart && i got my movie!!.. We went over to Melissa's. it was a beautiful day so we went most the day outside watching her concete get poured.

I also picked up some fabric to make Julian a blanket... this is one tabatha made him this past year for xmas. Julian still LOVES George or anything monkey themed.

This is the one i made him yesterday. they are so warm!.. he enjoys & appreciates them!

Here is a video that i took while we were sitting outside.. Julian talks so much lately. here is him jibber jabbin away!.. isnt my little man so handsome!

flu? virus? call it what u want.

Well the Saturday we were Gardening with Grandmaw Julian started to have a slightly red eye. well the slightly red eye did not get any better, so we were seen at the doctor on Monday. We stopped to get lunch at mcdonalds.. && i just love his excited face. hehe- like mommy like son.
This visit was pretty much also his 18 month check up. Julian was 35 1/2 inchs long && weighed 31 pounds.

after the visit, we stopped at Mim&Paw's while waiting for his medicine to be filled. Julian did in deed have pink eye- looovely.

while at mims julian played outside. he loveed hearing the fall leaves, crunch under his little feet.

he would grab a leaf, then run and give it to mim as a present!

When we went to pick up his meds at walgreens, Melissa was already off work so we swung by to see her new porch & pup. Julian liked their new puppy"co-co"

By tuesday, Julian's eye was already looking much better, yay finally in the clear, right?... WRONG!.. Tuesday night at 1am(technically wenesday) Julian began throwing his guts up. I was so nervous and didnt know what exactly i should do, so i went straight over to my moms to get her opinion. I ended up making a trip to walmart and then camping out there in their spare bedroom. Julian was up all night, every 30 minutes throwing up. && i did not sleep a wink. Julian would only sleep laying on me, with me in the sitting up position. the next morning he was seen at the doctor first thing. They gave him a shot to stop the vomiting, and told me he was mildly dehydrated, and he had already lost some weight since monday. he weighted 31 monday and at this visit he lost 13 oz.

We came home from his visit and basically slept til 3pm. and went back to sleep at 7 and slept til 10 the next day.

Thursday Morning, Julian woke up drinched in poop. :/ He had serious runs,...this continued all day..and Julian didnt eat a thing, nor was he keeping anything down. Around 5 that evening, he began with the throwing up again ohhh & Julian had not had a wet diaper on top of all that.

I call the nurse who called the doc and wanted us seen to get Julian some IV fluids.

got there and the ER doc did not give him fluids, but did give him more meds to stop the vomiting & upset stomach. At this visit Julian weighed in at 29 pounds 10 oz. :/

Today..... we had some more horrible diapers.. however my main concern was that Julian had no had a wet diaper.. STILL. He started with a horrible rash... and still was not eating. I feel like everything im doing isn't doing much good. its so fustrating that i am doing everything i can, and the doctors are just over looking everything.

After Julians nap.. i took his diaper off to let his butt air out. The rash ran from is butt to his leggs. poor baby.Julian has never had a diaper rash so i didnt know what it was...

he went to stand by the front screen door and his little birdy touched the cold door, &&& WA LAA... he began to pee pee. IT wasnt to aweful much..but hey.. it was better than nothing. :)

a little later he did indeed eat a little.. thank god. He did not have any more bad diapers the remainder of the evening and was acting like a brand new kid.

however,

As im writing this i was paused when hearing my son screaming in his room. Yes, he has blown his diaper yet again. :(... and his little butt was hurting. gosh dang.. when will this end???
