Ugh....

Man, I know that it has been a long time since we have updated the blog but there has been a lot going on and then we were sick. Well, Rhys and I were sick, Jared seems to have skipped out on being sick.

Rhys officially crawling around. Into everything, pulling books off the shelf and trying to read them, trying to stick is fingers in electric sockets, emptying the dog bowls, the list goes on and on. While on one hand, I am super excited he is crawling around, man things were so much easier when he would just sit in one place and play with his toys. He is also trying to stand up. He will crawl to an area and then pull himself up, today he was trying to take a couple of steps while holding your hands. My little man is just getting bigger and bigger too fast.

We have been sick around here for the last week. Rhys has had a stuffy nose, and cough for a while now, but they kept telling us that it was allergies, teething and just being a baby. Well, this past week we had take him to the doctor because his temp spiked up to 102.3. Not good. It didn't help that he had spent the night with Nonnie and Paw-paw and paw-paw got sick with the H1N1 flu. Yep that is right...mommy was officially worried. Rhys ended up testing negative with the H1N1 flu, but showed flu like symptoms. So we were placed on antibotics and a decongestant. Boy is he doing much better.....almost back to his normal self! Then, mommy got sick, but man I married a good man, because he took care of both of us!

The little man has decided that baby food is discusting. I can't really get him to eat it. It doesn't matter how much I try he just doesn't want it. However, cut something up and put it on his tray and bam he is all about feeding himself. Talk about a little stubborn kid. He is getting pretty good at eating cooked carrots, bananas, noodles, and anything else I cook. I am a little hesitate to break up any type of meat for him to eat. It just makes me nervous, although he did like the fish we cooked the other night. Other than that things are pretty quiet around here. I am enjoying my time off with Rhys right now and I know that it is going to be hard going back to work in a week! Well here are some pictures that I know you all want!
Here is when Rhys was starting to get sick. If you look closely you can see the huge snot bubble he was blowing. It was cracking him up because when he was breathing it would get bigger and then smaller. He thought it was the greatest thing. Only a boy....

When he got really sick, all he wanted was to be held. So here Jared was relishing the moments that he had with Rhys wanting him to rock him.
Here are a few pictures that Uncle Jason took of Rhys and Tyler the other day at the park. We got a lot of great shots and Uncle Jason did a great job!

Family Day!!

We spent the whole day together today! Jared had to go into the office so Rhys and I decided to go with him. After the office we went and walked around downtown. It is getting to be so pretty down there, they really are doing a lot to improve the area. Rhys total enjoyed the waterfall and the pictures in the flowers.

This was at Babies R Us, trying to decided on a Christmas outfit.
At daddy's office--he is sitting in Jared's chair at the computer!

Prayers, prayers, prayers

This week, a co-worker of mine lost their 3 month old child. Definitely put a lot of things in perspective for Jared and I. I have to say---you should keep your loved ones close. Kiss them before they go to bed, tell them that you love them before they leave in the mornings. Make sure that the petty things in life don't keep you from loving them.

This weekend we are staying home for once. I can't wait until we have nothing to do and no one to see. Hope things are great for everyone else.
