A day of cooking and fun

Look I am cooking

"Cookies"

Here's a pic of Caleb helping me make 'cookies'....(in truth it's a low sugar, oatmeal "cookie" sweetened with natural peanut butter)....it's a trick cookie.....but Caleb seems to love them. He puts the finishing touches on the cookie by placing one chocolate chip per cookie which is really only for decoration. He'll eat around the chocolate chip....but he loves to put them on there anyways. :)

Mosquito Bite

Found out caleb is allergic to mosquito bites.

He was bitten on the head close to his eye. And you can see the after effects.
Just two weeks after the ear thing. We as parents felt so bad, but the eye went down quick. Bug spray and allergy medication on hand at all times.

Wet n Wild

The 4th of July

ACK!

Sorry we haven't posted in awhile.....we 'upgraded' the blog and now the picture function seems to be missing. hmm....anybody have any ideas?

Swimming!

We went swimming at the Wallace pool this past weekend and Caleb (with his life vest and water wings) actually pushed off from the edge and was 'swimming' for the first time! Big step considering Caleb doesn't like water anywhere near his face. I was so proud!

Infected Ear

We took Caleb into the Urgent Care on Wednesday night...turns out he had cellulitis (infection in his ear cartilage) resulting from a bug bite over the weekend. They gave him 750milligrams of Rosephrin and was prescribed Keflex that night. We went to our Primary Care doctor and they gave him ANOTHER 500 milligrams of Rosephrin.

Poor Caleb. Apparently this shot burns on it's way in...and this needle was HUGE. He was such a brave boy...he kept saying "This is for my big ear??....is it still big??" The primary care DR took him off Keflex and onto another antiobiotic with a $50 topical treatment cream for the rest of his bug bites.

Caleb was SOOO brave and good. He even learned how to wiggle the big infected ear for the nurses and had them all oohhing and ahhing over him.

He's such a Ham...:)

Recap of Caleb

Look at him back then.

Such a big change.

So glade he is in our life.

Hello Mommy.

Hello Daddy

In the back yard

We had a rabbit but Max scared it away

Can't wait until they are ready to eat

A place to hang out and relax while we grill out or read a book.

Peace and Quit.
