Week 30

(8/4 - 8/10)

What a week! So the week started off not-so-great with a sick little man. He was up off and on ALL night Sunday night with a fever. It was his first fever ever and it was so sad... he was miserable! We had called the nurse on call and she said it was probably teething after we told ehr the symptoms. We finally gave him some Tylenol around 6 in the morning Monday and he got some sleep finally. Drew stayed home from work with him on Monday and he seemed to be feeling better by the end of the day. THEN Monday evening he broke out in hives all over his little body... so we called the nurse on call AGAIN. (Now I am not one that calls with every little thing... I think this was the 3rd time we've called in the 7 months with little man) Anyway~ we ended up going to the doctor on Tuesday and he was getting over a virus that has a 24 hour fever followed by hives... it's a common summertime virus in infants and toddlers. So I stayed home with him on Tuesday just to make sure he was better. (thanks Mom and Dad for coming over for a hour each so I could run in to work for a bit to grab some things!) After we got Pierson back to feeling 100% we were off to Stillwater on Friday for Nick and Jill's wedding! Nick is one of Drew's best friends and Jill is one of my best friends so we were both in the wedding! It was such a fun weekend!!! My mom helped host the bridal luncheon on Friday morning and then after that she stayed in Stillwater the rest of the weekend to help with Pierson and watch him while Drew and I had rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding stuff. It was soooo nice because we didn't have to be away from him really the whole weekend! My sister came up Saturday morning and helped my mom and then my dad came for the wedding and my mom and dad kept Pierson in their hotel room Saturday night so Drew, Christi, and I could stay at the reception and hang out with everyone. It was a perfect weekend! Thanks so much for all of your help Mimi Pops and Aunt Christi! And Congratulations to the BEAUTIFUL couple Nick and Jill!!!

Oh... and one more thing!!! So Pierson has been saying Dada for a couple of weeks now and I have been working on Mama... he said it on Saturday!!!!! I was so excited!!! He started out with just saying "Mmmmm" and then "Mmmmma" and finally he said "Mama!" I love it!!

Here are some pics from the week...

I gave Pierson his first mohawk in the bath this week... I just love this kid!!!

I am so blessed by this precious little guy!!!

He looks innocent here... but he's about to tear into these toys and make a total mess... it's so funny!

His silly hair after bathtime!

Meal time is always a fun time!

Pierson has decided he thinks it's funny to like the high chair tray when he's done eating. It's pretty funny... but makes for quite a mess when he's done :-)

Jill came over to hang out a few days before her wedding... Pierson loved seeing her!

Nick also came over while he was in town before the wedding... he was being entertained by the newspaper in Nick's hand and just loved it!

For those that know how much I twirl my hair you will get a kick out of this picture :-) Yes, Pierson was playing with his hair! Too funny! My mom took Pierson on tons of walks in his new stroller while we were in Stillwater. He LOVED it!

Thanks so much Mimi for taking such good care of me all weekend!

Pierson and his Pops at the reception!

He was fascinated with my dad's face... probably because they look so much alike!

We had such a fun weekend... but by the end of it we were all exhausted!
