Mommy & Daddy are Married!!!

Dear Teagan:
Mommy & Daddy are married now!! Oh and what a beautiful wedding it was!!!! :-)
You were the star of the show!!! You were so cute getting down the aisle on your four wheeler. It was too cute. You kept wanting to veer off to the grassy area and nowt just go straight down! So Aunt Erin & Paul had to let you and Kaylee ahead of them to help a bit. It was so stinkin cute though.

Today we are going to a specialist for your eyes. Dr. Swan has been keeping an eye (haha) on your clogged tear ducts and now that you are over a year old, she wants you to be seen by a specialist. So she referred us to a Dr that will take a look at you today. We know your tearducts are clogged because when you cry you never make tears. Grandma says it's because we never let you cry long enough to make tears! Which is a little bit true! :-)
I love you to the moon & back baby.
Love,
Mommy

Being a Mom

Dear Teagan:
Being a mom is rather interesting. I guess it's also not limited to just being a mom either. I guess it's being a parent in general.
Your father and I both do some crazy things to entertain you or distract you or comfort you. Like the other day you were crying while I was getting you dressed, so I made you laugh by using your foot as a telephone. Then I started biting it. You thought that was so funny. Now had anyone seen, I would have felt very foolish. But you always laugh at the stupid stuff I do.
Then yesterday I had my bad mom moment. You always sleep
good in our bed for naps. Usually daddy or I go in and lay with you for a while til you fall asleep and then put baracade you with pillows and leave the room. You always wake up crying so we always go in and get you before you have time to move. Well, yesterday, same deal. Only you didn't cry when you woke up. You were making the same noises you make when you try to fall asleep, so I didn't go right in. I figured you'd go back to sleep. But you didn't. You tried to get off te bed yourself I guess. I heard a thump
and ran in. You were on the floor not moving or crying. As soon as I scooped you up, you started crying. It took quite some time to calm you down. I was panicking. Finally you calmed down and I tried to distract you with a ball. You went to try to crawl
and fell on your face and cried. So I was certain your arm or something was broken. I cried. I felt so bad. It was all my fault. I called nana to come over and see what she thought. She told me she thought your should was dislocated and that you should be seen right away. I felt horrible. Then daddy and all his friends got back. It was his bachelor party and he had gone golfing and came back here for a cookout. He was worried and a little upset with me for letting it happen. Uncle Todd looked at it and figured out that it was your wrist. I took you to grandmas so she could observe you and we decided on motrin and trying to rest it. Now today you're back to army crawling because it stil hurts you to put weight on it. I'm still unsure if you need to be seen by a doctor or not. I know they'll want to do xrays.
We'll keep an eye on it for another day or so and we'll see.
I'm so sorry baby.
I love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Mommy

Sick Baby && New Baby?

Dear Teagan:
Well we made another trip to the pediatrician this week. We had to go on Wednesday because you had a very croupy cough. It was scary. You seemed to act normal and well, but after you woke up in the morning & after your nap you had a very barky cough. So I was scared since last time you sounded like that you had croup and rsv. So we took you in and you just had a viral cold. I thought I saw a molar trying to come in too so that could be part of it. They gave you the same kind of steroid shot again and prescribed you amoxicillin just in case. Your nose is still runny, but you're as good as new.

Last night. You stayed the night with grandma & grandpa and your aunts & uncles. Daddy & I went to the state fair to watch the Lady Antebellum concert. It was a lot of fun to go out with just daddy and to not have to worry.
You're finally starting to get good at playing by yourself. You've been playing by yourself all afternoon pretty much. Although I get bored and play too. But you could careless if I play or not. You're such a little boy now. No more baby boy that's for sure. You play on your own and throw fits and are just all sorts of independant.

I think we're going to have to get you a little brother soon!! Daddy thinks so too!! It's funny how after a year I forget how excruciating labor was & how much the last month of being pregnant sucked. Oh well. We got one perfect kid out of it, so I would do it ten times over if that meant having you in my life. So now daddy and I decided after we're married it's time for another perfect baby!! :-) We can't wait!! And either can you. Okay, that's a lie. Everytime someone asks you if you want a brother or sister you either say ut oh or you shake your head no.

Okay, off to sit at your picnic table and play weeble wobbles with you before your cousins get here!!
I love you to the moon and back baby!!
Love,
Mommy
