Happy new year!! So this post is long overdue, but i always say better late than never. We had an awesome Christmas...as always....but so much more fun now that Peyton is into presents. Once he figured out that after you rip the paper you're suppose to say "awww" he totally got into it. So cute. We had a great time visiting with family and watching Peyton play with his cousins. I can already see that he's going to be the "tag along" cousin because he LOVES playing with Piper and just waits for her to pretty much do anything he can laugh at. Anywhere she goes...he goes. It's sweet and fortunately Piper loves being with him as much as he with her. They'll be best friends I'm sure. Abby was as sweet as ever, too. She's growing so fast and Peyton loves to look at her and show her where her eyes, nose and mouth are. I don't think she enjoys being shown these things so much, but she humors him. We're still working on "be sweet to the baby" but for some reason he still feels the need to whop her one every now and then. Can't wait till she whops him back!! We all were spoiled tremendously and as the many pictures would give away, I got an awesome new camera. I love it and can't wait to take more pictures!! Peyton was spoiled rotten getting a new tricycle, rocking horse and a riding lawn mower among MANY other things. We finally made it home on Friday.....unfortunately with the baby. Ok so that sounded bad, but he was suppose to stay with Maw and Paw in Bossier for a few days. Thursday, as we were literally walking out the door, I realized that Peyton felt warm after his nap. Yep, he had a fever....a very high fever. So against everything I believe in, I took him to quick care in Bossier. Anyone who knows me knows that I despise any kind of quick care because he was misdiagnosed twice for ear infections. Anyways, the Dr. said it was a virus...yeah right. By friday morning he was still running a fever and would not eat. So my mom and my brother packed us up and brought us to Hattiesburg. (brad had already left b/c he went on call thursday night) Saturday morning Peyton was still running a high fever and started shaking really bad when his fever would spike. We took him to OUR pediatrician, he was tested for strep and we found out sunday that the test came back positive. So now we can make that the 3rd time quick care misdiagnosed. He's doing much better now I'm happy to say and I'm so thankful that our pediatric clinic is open on weekends. So that pretty much sums up our Christmas vacation. We've spent he last few days being lazy and getting the baby well. Tomorrow is back to reality, but we've enjoyed it while it lasted. Hope everyone had a great New Year and don't make any resolutions you can't keep....I resolve to have no resolutions :-)
Enjoy these pictures...sorry for so many!!
