Alex is becoming one of Tyson's best friends. They are similar in age and of course they are both just little cutie pies. While we were eating in the cafeteria they
playing with each other and holding hands and stuff. Too cute. Alex even pulled Tyson;s hair and made him cry. Even that was cute
.
Tyson and I were invited to attend the summer work party with my old job at Point
Dune in Malibu. It was nice because I got to see a lot of old/current friends that I used to work with. Most of them haven't gotten to see Tyson in a long time. I was pregnant most of my time working there and left shortly after maternity leave was over. Liz and I were pregnant at the same time and her daughter Hailey was born 3 weeks after Tyson so it's always cool when her and I get together with the kiddies. It's crazy too to see how big they both are getting now. Hailey is Tyson's little
GF. It was a match made from in the bellies.
The beach wore him out. This is how he slept in the car on the ride home. TOO CUTE!!!
VIVA LAS VEGAS (7/29/09 - 8/1/09 )
Justin ended up getting two free rooms in
Vegas. One at MGM and one at Mandalay Bay so we invited some friends from San Diego and Santa Barbara and went to Vegas. We stayed in the MGM. Most kids don't like to bring kids to
Vegas because they are limited on what they can do. Us on the other hand have absolutely no problem because I have tons of family that live there that love watching Tyson if need be. My dad lives out there and usually he would have watched Tyson this time but he had to fly to the bay area last minute because my grandmother got sick. This time my cousin Andrea watched him every
single night we were there. We of course would do fun things with him in the daytime like swim, walk around, eat and then I would drop him off at my grandpa's house where my cousin was staying and put him to bed and go out for the night and pick him back up in the morning. It's
definitely a relief knowing he;s being taken care of by good family members. Plus my grandpa and cousins
don't get to see him a lot so I have to bring him with me so they can visit with him.
One of my long lost friends lives out there too and we got a chance to meet up with her as well. We were friends from 7yrs old until about 14yrs old then we lost contact. I have not seen or spoken to her since. I always looked for her on myspace, her mother and sister but never found her. Then she ended up finding me on facebook even years after me looking for her and we've been in contact since. She now has a 3.5 year old daughter. Crazy we both have kids now. our drive to and from Vegas was a nightmare though. On the way there Tyson puked while in his car seat all over himself and the car and we had to stop in the middle of the desert and clean his seat and change his clothes. The car smelt like puke the entire rest of the way. THEN on the way home he threw up AGAIN. This time i caught most of it in my hands (oh the joy of motherhood) and i just changed him in the car as we were driving and we didn't even stop b/c by this point we just wanted to get home. I wonder if he's getting motion sickness now after long drives.
Bay Area (8/2/09 - 8/8/09)
The day after Tyson and I came back from Vegas we had to drive to the bay area since my grandmother was sick and visit with her and my dad. I was fearful for the long drive b/c of Tyson's previous puking scenes. The way there was fine. No throw up, just an hour of crying.
lol. We stayed in the bay area for a week, which Grandma Frankie was excited about. We got to spend a lot of time with my grandma as well. She has been on hospice since May and this time she went into a coma for a day so we thought this was it but when we got out there she was doing
a lot better. awake, talking, eating, everything. It was very sad leaving her though because she was crying and scared. I got to see my little brother as well. He came down from Sacramento to visit with my grandma as well. He is so tall now. Taller then me and he's only 13. During the trip out there I was using my mom's camera a lot so once I get her to send me the pics I can update again. My dad drove with us back to LA so he could see my house and then he flew from LA the next day back to Vegas. The day we left to go home I got extremely sick extremely fast. I woke up with a sore throat and by the end of the night I felt like I was dying. I could hardly move with sore skin, stomach, and head. Good thing for my dad because he helped me drive half way back. and THEN, Tyson threw up yet AGAIN....TWICE!!! The first
time was just a little bit I unchanged him while driving then 20 minutes later it happened again but A LOT and this
time we definitely had to stop. we had to stop at a gas station and clean him up all over again and this time he cried for nearly two hours on the way back. Me feeling very not myself had to entertain him as much as possible. We made it home and i just had to pass out. Glad my dad got to see my house though.
Visit with Robin and Izabella (8/13/09)
One of my best friends Robin came out to visit with her daughter
Izabella. They stayed at my house for two nights. Tyson loved Izzy. She would be on the bouncer and he would bounce her up and down. It was so cute. I had to really watch him though because he's not used to babies and how gentle you have to be with them. He kept trying to pat her on the head. While they were here it was funny to see all the baby pink and blue. They are going to grow up as good friends though like Robin and I.
POBRECITO (8/17/09 - present)
So I noticed Tyson had a little fever Thursday night and the following nights so I would give him some Tylenol before bed. He wasn't complaining too much so I figured it was apart of him teething. I was just hoping he
wouldn't get sick from when i was sick. Well Sunday night I let him go to his Great grandmother's house for dinner with his grandparents and they said he had a fever and was
whiny all night. I was out with some friends for a going away party and when I got home that night Ty was sleeping. He then woke up at like 1am and would not go back to sleep. I put him in the bed with me and he woke only slept in 20 minute
increments the rest of the night and the entire next day. Poor baby! he would sleep for about 15-20minutes then
wake up tossing ans turning and crying. I had to hug him and console with him all night.
That's what moms are for right?
The next day my little sick guy was just miserable. Not only did he hardly have any sleep but hardly any food either. It's so unusual to see him like this. When he's not up and laughing then he must really be sick. That whole day he was just burning up and it was neat impossible to get him to keep down the Tylenol. He slept again all day in 20 min increments and that night. I was convinced he had an ear infection bc I;ve been through this once before and he had a double infection really bad. He was also pulling on his ears. The next morning I took him to the hospital and they checked him out and said his ears were fine, his throat was fine and maybe he was just feeling like I was when i was sick, especially since Justin started to get sick too and if he still had a fever in 3 days to come back. Well he started to get better but then worse again and he still had a fever and was still pulling on his ears. We took him to the hospital again and THIS time they said he had an ear infection in both ears. MAN DO MOTHERS KNOW BEST!!! I was thrilled to find this out because at least now there was something we could do for him to stop the pain. That same day, earlier Justin found out he has strep throat and they prescribed him Amoxycilin. So there we were at the Kaiser pharmacy picking up Amoxycilin for both of them. Crazy hat within a week and a half we all had different stuff wrong with us. Flu, Strep, and Ear Infections.
Tyson just started his medicine the other day so he is still feeling really bad. Hopefully the medicine kicks soon. He has to take it for 10 days along with Tylenol and Ibuprofen. He is in much better spirits but still not feeling well and sad mostly before and after nap/bedtime. I can't wait to have my normal little guy back and hopefully we don't have to take him to the hospital anymore.
my poor little guy!
The other day Tyson and I met up with two mommies the other day in Santa Monica at the pier. We met first at Bubba Gumps where we had lunch. It's funny because almost everything on the menu there is shrimp or other sea food and all three of us ordered chicken sandwiches. All the kids got balloons tied to their chairs to keep them occupied and Tyson loooved his. He also loved flirting with all of the people at the tables next to ours. He must have stared at this lady and her husband for like 20 minutes straight just laughing and waving at them. After we finished eating we headed down to the pier aquarium. It was really cheap to get in...only $5 and once we entered I could understand why. It was super small. lol. There were about 5 big tanks with sea animals in them, mostly just fish and then just a few little learning things spread out around. I geuss they had a good amount of animals though
