Goob's first ER visit
First of all, I feel like a horrible mommy. I broke one of those rules I swore I would never do.
So yesterday afternoon, I was getting ready to go meet a friend and her daughter for lunch. J was ironing his clothes for work in the living room. I put Goob's car seat on our arm chair and put Goob in it. I didn't buckle him in because I knew that as soon as I buckled him in, he would start crying. So I just sat him in there and told DH to keep an eye on him. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle to throw in the diaper bag.
Well, the unthinkable happened. Goob was fidgeting around and he leaned forward in the car seat. When he leaned forward, he fell out on to our hardwood floors. J was across the room and couldn't get to him in time before he hit the ground. As soon as I heard what happened I ran back. J was picking him up.
My poor baby was crying so hard. I was screaming and shaking and crying. I honestly felt like my life flashed in front of my eyes. J was the calm one. As soon as I could stop shaking, I got Goob in my arms. I was still really crying. But, as soon as Goob saw that I was crying, he started laughing! He thought it was the funniest thing ever to see his mommy with mascara and tears all over her face. At that point, I calmed down alot.
We couldn't tell where he landed, we just knew he landed face down. We didn't see any bumps or red marks or anything like that. But we decided to go the ER just in case. We live 2 minutes from the hospital and they let us right back to triage. Within 30 minutes, we had seen a doctor.
The doc examined him. Nothing. He couldn't find anything wrong with him. He even asked us if we were sure he fell. He told us he'd probably wake up with a bruise or a bump today. He gave us a list of things to look for. The main thing was vomiting which he hasn't done. During the examination, Goob kept laughing and smiling so much so that the doc had to call in another doc to come see how cute he was.
So we were back home within an hour of his falling. (I love my hospital!) Goob took a nap. Woke up later as happy as a clam. He was normal the rest of the day.
In fact, he woke up this morning with still no bruise or bump or any signs that he had fallen.
So, I've learned my lesson. I'm strapping him down no matter what he's doing or where he's at.

Look what happens when Mommy and Daddy have too much time on their hands...
J and I were both off this weekend, so we got around to do those chores we've been putting off. At the top of the list was going through Goob's closet and putting away anything that doesn't fit our Goob. We're not getting rid of anything. They're just being put away from #2 (who is not on his way anytime soon!) Anyways we had fun.
Goob wanted to know what the heck we were doing to all his clothes!
Once we told him, he pretended to be asleep so he wouldn't have to help. Sneaky, little Goob!
A few minutes later he decided to join in on the fun. He likes to try on hats!
His daddy thought he looked cool his this. Ha!
We had more pics, but I felt/looked like crap that day so I'm definitely not putting those up here.

We started solids on Saturday!
We're working on rice cereal now. It was fun....
....and messy.
He's just getting rice cereal for the next two weeks. Then we'll start adding a new fruit or vegetable every 5 days. Yum!

Hurricane Ike
This is getting ridiculous. This will be our 2nd hurricane this year. The county will be deciding whether or not to have a mandatory evacuation later today. Yuck.

Goob says "Look what I can do!"
Hola!
"I'm bored. What should I do?"
"Let me try this"
"Hey, this is neat!"
"Ta-da! Look what I can do! Haha. Mommy and Daddy are in trouble now!"

A Fun, New Toy!
Goob is loving his exersaucer. He's figured out how make all the noises and songs play. Once you put him in there, he has no time for you anymore. He's too busy.
Goob's day at the beach!
Last weekend, Goob's grandparents were in town (J's parents). On Saturday evening, we went down to the island to meet some of their friends. It's a real shame that we live 30 minutes from the beach and we haven't been in forever. Anyways, it was Goob's first trip to the beach. Too bad we didn't go a bit earlier to enjoy more daylight.
Here are some pictures:

Audition by Barbara Walters
I've spent the last six weeks reading Audition. It's Barbara Walter's biography. It was amazing. She has led such a fascinating life. It's even a little juicy. I highly recommend it. It's one of the best books I've read all year.
I'm now reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I've gotta see if the hype is true.

Sick Baby
I have a sick baby!
It all started yesterday afternoon. I came home and noticed that Goob was kind of sniffly. Then by the evening his nose started running a lot and he had a little cough.
But this morning he seemed a little better. He was his happy giggley usual self. So I dropped him off at daycare and went to work. After work when I got back to daycare, I immediately run into the director who had a phone in her hand. She told me she was calling me. My boy had a 99.9 fever and had started to get really fussy.
I called our ped and they told us to come in. We waited and waited and waited to see the doc. When we finally got seen, the doc immediately saw that he had an ear infection.
So now we're home and we've started 10 days of antibiotics and some Tylenol to get rid of the fever. The little guy can't go to daycare tomorrow so I'm taking the day off.
J is blaming the little kids who touched Goob at Wal-Mart a few days ago. I'm blaming starting daycare on Monday.

Short update
I started back to work last week. And today was Goob's first day at day care. So sad. He was only there from 1 to 4 and he was fine when I got to pick him up. Tomorrow will be his first full day at the day care from 7 to 4. Hopefully, he'll only have 2 or 3 long days a week. One of the other days will be a short day (1-4) and the other 3 will be spent with mom or dad.
He's going to be 4 months on Friday. Where has the time gone???? He has his 4 month appt next Monday for a well baby visit and more shots. Boo hoo. This time though Daddy will be coming along.
Goob got a visit from his grandparents last week. And he had his first visit to the beach. I'll post the pictures soon. Plus the weekly pics from the past couple weeks.

How to make your husband mad...
Stop him from watching his favorite show and relaxing on his day off and make him put together a high chair.
But look how cute this little guy is! It makes it worth it. Right, J?

According to my doctor, Goob was conceived a year ago today.
I cannot believe how fast time has gone by.

2 weeks left
I have two weeks left of my summer. I start back at work on Aug 18th. This is so hard for me. I didn't imagine that it would be this difficult to leave my baby. He's starting daycare on Aug 25. (J's taking a week of vacation when I start back at work so Goob doesn't have to start at daycare yet.)
I cry everytime I think of someone else holding him, feeding him, changing him, seeing his smiles and just being with him.
(I want to stay home so bad but right now it's just not financially possible. J and I've done some major talking and we've worked out that I'll be able to be a SAHM in 2 years if we stick to our budget.)
Any advice for me?

A survey cause I'm bored
I stole this from Laura's blog. And I'm doing it for the same reason she did. Goob's asleep for a long nap. And I've learned not to wake a sleeping baby.
