Crazy Busy Week

It has been a bit of a rough and rather frustrating week. It all started last Friday morning I managed to break both of our computer monitors. Everyone says it was just random, regardless it was frustrating. I ended up having to move my hubby's computer to the living room and hook it up to our flat screen TV. I was too afraid my computer was what caused the monitors to die. Unfortunately, EVERYTHING I need to function in my business was on MY computer. I spent hours downloading embroidery software and transferring embroidery files. I was really lucky that I had recently backed up all my embroidery designs to an external hard drive. It was still a long and tedious process.

Then, Parker became sick...really sick. He had been having a runny nose and was sneezing a lot a few days prior, but I chalked it up to teething. He didn't even have much of a fever. He started coughing, scary coughing and weird breathing. I decided to take him to urgent care, they looked at him for a couple minutes and determined that he had strep and started him on antibiotics. The Dr said the cough maybe from the junk running down his throat irritating him. These are the times I wish Parker's pediatrician was available, I trust his ped 100%.

The coughing became worse the next morning so we took Parker to the ER. I should have just took him there the day before. They confirmed strep, but found through a chest x-ray that he had pneumonia too. They doubled his original antibiotic dose and we went back home for steam showers and rest. Good thing is that he is feeling much better now.

The worst part of all of this was my mother in law was in town to visit Parker and he spent most of the time sleeping or at the ER. I felt so bad she didn't get to spend more time with him.

Getting ready for his x-ray's.


The x-rays were quite traumatic on the little guy, he passed back out after them.

Turned 7 months old....check!

Another month has gone by, and this one went faster than all the rest. I felt like I had just finished writing his 6 month post and now he is 7 months old! I thought it would be cute to do a video montage of Parker the day he turned 7 months.







Stats:
Clothing: 6-12 months
Weight: 17lbs 14oz (his weight gain has come to a crawl the past 2 months)
Height: 26.5"



He is trying to eat solids, he barely finishes a 1/4 of a jar of anything. His favorite and really only thing he will eat more than 5 spoonfuls of is mixed berries(blueberries, bananas, and blackberries.)



He is so close to fully crawling. Parker can stay on his knees for a long time and rock back and forth. He can even move his knees forward, but he forgets to move his arms and ends up plummeting forward.



No Teeth?!? Where are they! Vanessa had a lot of teeth by 7 months, her first came in at 4 months. I was looking online about "disappearing teeth" and I guess there are a number of different explanations for it. I know for sure that we felt and saw something break the gum a few months ago, but who knows exactly what it was. Oh, well I still love is gummy smile :)
