Update

So Caleb is doing better...a little. We went to the doctor and he was put on amoxicillan. It's so difficult, because we have no idea if it might be an ear infection or not because we can't see his eardrums, and we have no idea how his ears are formed on the inside and whether or not he has proper drainage. So...we're playing the guessing game and putting him on some drugs.


He also cut his first tooth this month, which could also be causing all the symptoms of congestion, vomiting, fever and cough. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it eventually.


And better late than never, here are a few Fourth of July pics, a month late.

We did sparklers on the back porch, went to a ward barbecue and watched a really cool fireworks show late that night. The boys loved it.


On another note, Caleb is quite fascinated with being fed through his tube. He loves to sit and watch the milk go down, a little disturbing.

So this is my new discovery, or should I say, my copycat discovery.
I saw my cousin Diana's little boy in one on her blog and had to get it.

It's a bumbo and makes it really easy to sit Caleb up in it. He loves it and has a great view of the world.

This is not an unusual sight. Caleb on the table with his bumbo watching his brothers refuse to eat. It was peannuty noodles, my favorite, the recipe is found on Amy's food blog, so good!

This is what happens when we're in a rush. We sit the babies in front of the TV and let Collin and Talin take turns holding the tube to feed Caleb.
Comical.

And I decided to chop off my hair, kind of. It's not as short as what I originally planned on, but I still like it, I can just barely put it back into a freaky tiny ponytail, so that works.

I love the one of Caleb on the table in his seat. That is funny. I'm glad your older boys can help out a little. Your haircut looks really nice. You look so good!!!

I love your hair! You look so cute!

I am definitely getting a bumbo for the next baby, whenever that will be. I have heard they are wonderful.

Susan said...

The bumbo is a great idea. I should try it. Your hair is great. I love it!! I'm impressed about the tooth. Emma still has none.

Amy said...

Those bumbo's are fantastic. I've seen Ras's girls in them, and will definitely be getting one with my next baby.

I love all of the cute pictures of your boys. And your hair looks fantastic. I like you very blonde best. No Skully red (did you like the movie? I so wanted to see it with you & Tyler!).

What cute photos--it is so great to see Caleb smiling! I hope his infection clears up soon. I love the little seat--I didn't know what they were called. They do look so handy.

Mandi said...

I think your hair is cute - did you color it too? That bumbo looks cool - Reagan would LOVE that - she loves to be independent and sit up by herself. The picture of Talin feeding him cracks me up.

Angie said...

You look beautiful! I love your hair--color and cut. You always look great as a blonde (isn't that closest to the real color anyway?)

Glad to see the big boys are such good helpers feeding their bro!

just stopping by for a quick catch -up. i'm sorry that caleb has been having a rough go of it (*really* sorry that you're having to learn how to insert the NG tube. blech!) sounds like it's doing the trick, though!
