We should have given him a more nautical name…

…like Moby or something. Because this boy is like those weird sci fi legends that always surface in my spam folders with titles like “HALF-BOY HALF-FISH FOUND AT LONG JOHN SILVERS!”

We went and got him a little kiddie pool from Walmart the other day. He LOVES it. And I don’t mind sitting out and getting a tan. Yesterday, he swam all afternoon and then came inside and had to have a snack while watching Barney with Dad and Kody.

It’s like he’s a big boy now!

So, lately, we’ve been having kind of an off week. Tuesday, I woke up with a sore throat and yep, it was my long-time nemesis Tonsillitis back for more destruction to my larynx and livelihood. I finally went to the doctor today and got my medication, but I have started the process of finding a doctor to take my tonsils out. But. Apparently tonsil doctors don’t feel the need to work Fridays. Maybe the mass population do not have tonsil problems on Fridays.

Nathan has been getting one of his top teeth in. Finally! I was worried that he might only have two teeth for his whole life. And I think he might be going through another growth spurt because he has been sleeping 13 hours straight at night for the last week. And then taking another two naps during the day – including a 3 hour morning nap on Monday. WOW! Who is this child?

He didn’t wake up until 9:15 this morning, so I just kept him up until after my doctor appointment and hopefully he’ll get a long nap in this afternoon and we’ll just stick with one nap today. I’m wondering if he’s moving himself to just one nap. He’s getting so big I can’t even stand it.

So, I’m sitting here drinking hot tea and praying that the ibuprofen kicks in soon so my throat will stop hurting. What are you guys up to?

  1. Big fat boo for tonsilitis. I had it at least twice a year for until I was 19 and finally got them out. I've rarely been sick since then though, so it was worth the surgery!

    Nathan IS looking like a big boy! They just keep growing up. We all played outside yesterday while it was a little cooler, and Sunday is basically church and then a long nap for my little man. I didn't know what I was going to do when he went down to one nap, but it works out pretty well for us now. We get our fun stuff done in the morning and then he naps for about three hours after lunch. Then we all get to have fun family time in the evening. 🙂

  2. Sorry about the tonsils! Ouch! At least that means lots of ice-cream 🙂

    I was wondering if you could recomend some authors that you like to read. I'm a bit of a read-a-holic and I was looking of some new authors. Seeing how I love your books, I'm guessing you probably have good taste!

    By the way, I love your humor – you make me laugh! I sit there reading your books with this goofy smile on my face and oocasionally start laughing. My mum gives me the weirdest looks……….. 🙂

  3. Everytime I see pictures of your little Nathan I think about how he is the absolute cutest baby I have ever seen in my entire life. No lie. He is freakin ADORABLE!

  4. I'm so sorrry about your tonsils Erynn! I have been going through the same thing this past year. I am getting mine out on Thursday 🙁 not looking forward to it since i have 2 little ones running around at home, but hopefully it will all be worth it! i love reading your blog and seeing your little guy grow up! it goes by so fast!
