First snow and visit to the ER...

My poor baby is sick again... He has been having a runny noise and starting to act sick. This morning at about 1:30 he woke up coughing really bad and he had a temp. just over 100, I gave him some medicine and he went back to bed. Then at 4:30 he woke up again coughing but he was burning up his temp was over 102.2 so we decided to take him to the ER. As we walked out of the house it was snowing and the car was covered. The snow was only bad in Saratoga Springs, once we got to Lehi it was just rain. But Jaxen is fine he has croup and the gave him some steroids. Poor kid!

Potty Training...

So when I first had a baby I didn't think I would need to start the whole potty training thing until Jaxen was about 2 1/2 - 3 years old, BOY was I mistaken. Around the time Jaxen was 18 months old he was showing interest in the potty... So we bought him a little potty and that day he went potty in it, I thought perfect timing. We have never pushed him to go potty we would put him on it when we wanted to try and he has blown us all away by going once or twice a week at 18 months. As he started going more and more we got him some UNDIES just to see how he would do, Now at 20 months old his is going potty in his toilet at least 3-5 times a day and telling us he needs to go, Yesterday I put him in his undies for a good 2-3 hours and he went potty 3 times sometimes just going in all by himself... Today the only wet diaper I have changed was when he woke up and we took it off so he could go potty! HE IS ONE AMAZING KID!!!

October

We remember all babies born sleeping or whom we have carried, but never met or those we have held, but could not take home. The ones that came home, but didn't stay. Take a moment to remember all "Lost Angels" and the families who love and lost them.

I have a few Lost Angels in my own family,

Samuel-

Tiny sweet little boy,

You came into our lives sleeping

Never to awake here on earth,

We may never understand

why we never got to meet you,

to share smiles, tickles, and tears,

But its only a matter of time

before we will see you

hug you

and tell you how much we love you!

We will never forget you!

Love Sissy
