YES IT'S FEBRUARY & WE ARE STILL WATCHING CHRISTMAS MOVIES!! I forgot to add this pic the other day, I think it is sooooo cute!!

HAPPY FIRST VALENTINES DAY

He still has a cough but he is getting better, now dadda is getting sick:)!!!!

FIRST TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL

Early Thurs. morning about 4 am, we had to take Gage to Primary Childrens Hospital. It all started on monday with a little cough then each day it just got worse. Finally by wed. night he sounded horrible. He didn't want to sleep and his cough sounded like a barking seal, you could tell it really hurt him. I was so scared and I didn't want to wait for his doctors office to open. So not knowing exactly where it was, we left for the hospital, and to top it all off it was snowing, Gage slept the whole way which was good. We were getting close to the hospital, which is pretty much up in the mountains, and we saw a couple of deer crossing the road, it was pretty up there with the snow and big homes. Anyway we got him checked in and they got him in a room, the nurse said that he sounded like he had croup. Croup is a virus that he caught from somewhere and even though it sounds like it is in his lungs its really in the throat. Everything starts to swell and the breathing hole shrinks to the size of a straw hole. So they brought in a saline solution for a breathing treatment, we had to do that twice, they also gave him a steroid to help the swelling. They wanted to monitor him for a few hours and finally about 8 o'clock they let us go home. It was a looooong and scary night.

NINE MONTH CHECK UP

Well Gage had his nine month check up today, everything went really good. He weighs 20 pounds 9 oz. and is 29 inches long. He can start eating pretty much everything that we eat, we just have to "mush" it good until he gets some teeth. When the doc was looking in his mouth I think I saw a tooth coming through on the top!!!! I can't believe how big he is getting, before we left the office we had to make his twelve month appointment I am trying to get ready for his birthday, but I'm not sure what to do or where to have it. Dusty laughs at me for wanting to plan it already, but I just want to be ready and not have to be rushing at the last minute to decide on things.
We went to the hunting expo on Saturday with Andy and Lola, it was fun, Gage loved looking around at everything. He was really putting on quite a show, there was a man doing an elk bugle and he started trying to do it, I must say he sounded pretty darn close.

OUR FIRST POST, FINALLY!!

Well it's February 1st, and I have been working on this blog for a couple of weeks now. I am still having problems uploading our family picture. Maybe one day (I hope soon) I will get the hang of this!! I wanted to start a blog to help me keep track of our adventures. I have been trying to keep a baby book for Gage, and I haven't done to bad at that, but I think this will help also. It seems like he is growing too fast. I can't believe he will be a year old on May 9th. He is getting quite the personality. He started saying momma a couple of weeks ago, and he has been saying dadda since Friday. He has also started this ear piercing scream, which we love of course, whenever he wants something that you have or if you are not paying enough attention to him. He is also trying to crawl, it's more of an army crawl right now, but that's ok I'm not going to rush it. Well I could go on and on, but I will do that later : ) Right now I would like to get our family picture posted.
