A few days before CHRISTmas, Jayden was actually very short of breath. We were not really sure what was going on but ended up determining that it was stridor and that he had the CROUP. It did not stop him from being super happy and content but we did learn during this time that we will never give a baby prednisone by mouth again! Jayden has taken medicine well since day 1! He actually loves pretty much anything you put in his mouth; however, he choked (literally) and threw up everywhere with prednisone the moment it hit his mouth. THAT IS HOW BAD IT IS (per Rance - he tries everything Jayden takes). We ended up at his peditrician with a LOVELY shot and we were good to go to head east.
Only a couple of days being with my family and my mom actually got sick. How do you encourage a grandma to choose JOY when she couldn't really be around her grandson pretty much the entire trip? HARD! She did well and had a thankful heart in the midst of a not so fun trial though.
So here is a DUMP of pictures from CHRISTmas!
Our annual CHRISTmas eve pictures with the cousins!
We did decide to do pictures a little differently this year and head OUTSIDE on the front porch!
Jayden loved him some bows and wrapping paper!
My mom and her two brothers!
CHRISTmas morning bright and early - little man is ready to celebrate Jesus (or at least I pray that is his smile one day when he understands).
He did LOVE his Uncle Travis...
