OUCH!!!!

Well the big news this week is that Jonathan got stung by a wasp. Yes, it was horrible for both of us!! I was on the phone with my parents and saw him get down from standing at the sliding glass door. He made a funny noise and crumbled into a ball. I rushed over and picked him up and there was a wasp on the floor that he had put his hand on!! At first I didn't know where he was stung as his face was red and his hands were covering it. He finally took a breathe and let out a blood curtling scream!! I finally located the sting on his left index finger as I was searching him for where it was. I gave him benedryl and ibuprofen and ran his hand under water. I tried baking soda but he wasn't having any of it!! (yes, I know about meat tenderizer but I didn't have any!)

Anyway, I called the ER where I sometimes work and talked with the doc there. She was great to put up with my new mommyness! (is that a word?)!!

Anyway, his hand swoll to his elbow but after about 15 minutes, the benedryl kicked in and the swelling started to go down!. Poor baby! He fell asleep within the hour but I was so nervous that I made him sleep in my room for the night!! Needless to say, he slept better than I did.

The next day, I hunted down my association and vented my frustration with their not knocking down the wasp nests on the second story of my townhouse! Of course they were apologetic and say they are going to take care of it. You might think I am overreacting a bit but this is the second wasp I have found in my house by the slider. They are lethargic and crawling around! Yes, I am suspicious that I may have some in the house! or that they are getting in through a vent system.

So as a mommy with a mission, I called the pest inspector and am having them come to inspect the attic to be sure I am not running a wasp hotel up there!!

On a positive note, Jonathan is doing better today. He ran a fever yesterday but seems to be back to his happy little self today!

As for pictures, I do have more pics but my camera got left at mom and dad's when we were there a few weeks ago for Dad's birthday! They will bring it to me when they come for Jonathan's dedication on the 27th of April!

Well, more later....

JONATHAN IN MOTION!!

Ok I finally am getting around to posting some pictures. Jonathan is walking around all the furniture and has become really good at crawling fast!! Our nanny has taken to putting a chair across the way to keep him in the living room as he keeps falling under the table!! It is slick to hold onto, evidently!!
Anyway, enjoy!

Here is Jonathan on the swings for the first time. He loves it!

Who says crawling is easy! Jonathan began by going backwards, not forward! I couldn't resist, I have to take a picture! He has now figured it out and is crawling everywhere!

Jonathan in jail! Yes, he was wanting me to pick him up but now that he is mobile, he has to stay in the playpen until mommy is dressed and ready to go in the morning!!

Easter morning and mommy made jonathan cry because she wanted him to sit still for a picture!!

I couldn't resist putting this in!! He's cute even when he cries!

Here we are on Easter at Church. He just woke from a nap! Yep, he sleeps through all the sermons!! hahaha!!
