Mother's Day!

Well, did I get to sleep in today? No :( haha Overall though, I cannot complain about my very first Mother's Day! Brad went to the store first thing this morning and went and got the things Koleton "told" him to get me ;) He came home with flowers, white chocolate covered strawberries, and some lindor chocolates... YUM!  lol He even got a card for me from Koleton :) Then Brad whipped up my favorite breakfast...a feta cheese and spinach omelet! He made bacon and english muffins too.  We just hung out around the house for most of the day after the eventful morning :)

Poor Koleton is cutting his top middle teeth and seems miserable :( Don't get me wrong... he is a GREAT teether! But the poor kid's teeth are hurting him and his ears. He has been playing with his ears a bit today as well.  Since last night, he hasn't been sleeping very well... even for naps. I figure it's because he is in pain.  There was a warning put out about Orajel (of course a couple days after he started teething and I started putting it on his gums) that it can cause some deadly reaction, even if they have been fine using it before. Great. So I went and got a new kind of gum number (Hylands) and he HATES it haha He would suck the Orajel off of my finger, but closes his mouth TIGHT when it is the Hylands lol He was so grumpy today... woke up crying, almost sobbing, from each of his naps, my poor baby :( I gave him some tylenol tonight and some more Hylands, so hopefully he can get some rest!

We had quite the mishap tonight at dinner time... we ordered Chili's to go, since we weren't braving actually GOING to a restaurant. Any night out here seems to be busy, with weekends only being busier... and to top it off it is Mother's Day! haha! Well, long story short, it took an hour longer than they said on their website, and then EVERYTHING was wrong with our order! While Brad was on the phone trying to talk to a manager, I decided to see if Koleton would stand on his own since he is SO good at squatting down and balancing. Well, he did it! I just stood him up, let him go, and he stood there and caught himself when he was falling :) I was so excited! I went to go tell Brad and then back to get Koleton to show him lol We sat on the floor (so Koleton would know I was there to catch him if he fell cause he wasn't doing it with us both standing) and I let him go and he walked right to Brad!!!! Three steps!!! Not falling and running, but stranding straight up WALKING!!! I almost cried I was so excited! I couldn't believe it! We then played pass the baby again and he walked a few more times (before he got way more interested in Brad's guitar haha) It won't be long now til he will be running and playing with his friends and trying to escape the play area at the mall ;) haha!

This was most definitely a day I will never forget! What an amazing Mother's Day!!!

  1. What a wonderful gift for Mother's Day! Your baby takes his first steps! What a day to remember!

    I'm sorry he's having pain with his teething. That's no fun for any of you! I hadn't heard about the Orajel! That's too bad, because it really does work well. I remember when Joel was teething, and I dropped him off at the sitter's house. I had some Orajel in his diaper bag pocket, and her kitten got a hold of it and chewed a dozen holes through the tube! I would have loved to have seen that kitten after that! I'm sure his little mouth was just totally numbed up!

    I'm so glad you have found a wonderful guy who does these nice things for you on Mother's Day! You deserve all the happiness you've found! <3
