Birthday Pictures

Well, Brenden's Birthday Parties were a success. He loved both of the cakes he was given. One on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Various family and friends attended and gave him gifts for his first. Thanks to everyone who attended and made Brenden's 1st Birthday a memorable one.

The first two pictures above are from Saturday, and the 2nd two are from Sunday.

Once again, Happy 1st Birthday Brenden!

Love Mommy & Daddy & the rest of the family

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDEN!!!

More Teeth and Daycare

Brenden started daycare and already he has a cold. Well it started out as a cold and progressed to other diseases. Now he has been diagnosed with a stomach flu as well. Last week he had trouble keeping any food down. He went back to daycare 2 days following that and we got a call from daycare telling us he has pink eye. Back to the Dr. we went and sure enough, he has pink eye. He went back for a checkup 2 days later and the Dr. tells us he has a little bit of bronchitis. It's terrible. He coughs throughout the night, waking himself up. This makes him very tired during the day. The worse part about it is that at the same time, when he wakes up, his eyes are crusted shut due to the pink eye. Poor guy. Have to feel sorry for him because there's really nothing we can do other than give him the prescriptions from the Dr. He's getting better and should be able to go back to Daycare on Monday.

Brenden now has 4 teeth. The two bottom am two top have finally broke through. That's to top off everything I guess. Hopefully from this time forward he'll get better and we can avoid all these major setbacks.

Other than that he's doing well. Not crawling, but starting to get the hang of walking while hanging on to our fingers. He is also trying to mimic everything we do. The latest is: "Oh, oh". And he tries to say it back. Too funny.

Anyway, sorry there's such a span between blogs, but between working, watching hockey, watching Brenden and sleep, I've had little time to update it even weekly.

Brenden's first birthday is coming up soon. Believe it or not I have been running this BLOG over a year now. Brenden turns 1 on April 20, 2007. Very exciting.....we all made through a year, and it went so fast!

Teeth & Daycare

Well finally, Brenden is getting teeth. He had one tooth poke through on the bottom and the 2nd one is following suit. He'll have a full set in no time at all.

Last week we got a little bit of a scare as Brenden's temperature rose to about 104C. Michelle took him to the hospital and he was giving some antibiotics to treat, what they called some sort of virus. Michelle contacted out family Dr on Friday and brought Brenden in. It was in fact some sort of virus, and we are continuing antibiotics until later this week. He has seemed fine since. His temperature has been normal. The only thing he has is a bit of a cough, which sometimes wakes him at night.

Brenden is starting to talk a little more. Still babble words, but much more frequently and much more louder. He will say "Dada" and "Mama" to us now. He loves to mimic things we do now. Make a face, and he'll make it back. Say something and he'll try and say it back. It's quite amusing and fun.

On Monday, April 2nd, Brenden starts Daycare and a week later on April 9 Michelle goes back to work. Hard to believe a year is almost here already. Time is flying by.

Well off to get things done and get Brenden ready for tomorrow. My routine now has to change, since I will drop him off in the morning and Michelle will pick him up on her way home. I'll let you know how that goes. Sounds like less sleep to me.
