H1N1 Again

The H1N1 virus has officially hit the Wallenberg home. Remember this? Well, that was not officially H1N1 but on Wednesday, Mike called me & said he wasn't feeling very good. I was sick last weekend with a really bad sore throat & head cold & thought he might be getting that. He was progressively getting worse as the minutes, hours, day went on, so Thursday, I got him a Drs. Appt. The Dr. said he did have H1N1 & got him some meds. It is now Friday night & he is still not feeling any better! I have been sleeping on a blowup air mattress in the dining room, which really bites! Thanks to everyone for their kind works, support, thoughts, prayers at this time! Thanks Kelly for all the help this week. You help us out so much & I don't even know where we would be without you this week! You are awesome & we love you so much! Thanks for taking such good care of our LG & loving him as your own! Please, please continue to keep our Family in your prayers that Gavin & I don't get this nasty virus & that Mike will recover quickly!

Teeth

Guess who has his 2 bottom teeth? Gavin does! Every night when I bathe him, our routine is to clean out his nose, his ears, clip his nails, lotion & brushing his hair & his gums. When I brushed yesterday, I swear I didn't feel anything! When I brushed tonight, I was suprised to feel BOTH of his bottom teeth. I looked & sure enough, they have both broke through! I can't believe it, our little baby is getting so big & growing up! Now lets pray he doesn't bite me when feeding!

More Funny Gavin

Gavin does this new "thing" when he sees the camera flash. See for yourself:

He also smiles like this when you put the "Tickle Me Elmo" up to his face & push the button to make him laugh!

We have such a funny, cute kid!

6 Month Photo Shoot

Here are some pictures of Gavin's 6 month photo shoot by Ashley, taken about 2 months ago. Hey we have been EXTREMELY busy round here & better late then never. Enjoy my FAVORITES!

7 Months

I better get on this post before he is 8 months & it is time to post again on what he is doing new then! Check out what he is doing:

*He weighted 16 lbs 9 oz 3 days before he turned 7 months. He was sick that week, so he might have lost some weight, but I am sure he is back up there again.

*He says "mumumumum" all the time. He just started saying "dada" which makes Mike so super happy.

*He is a natural born sitter & loves to sit.

*He loves to stand. At church I will turn him around & let him hold the back of the seat & stand, he loves it.

*He has had a couple set backs with being sick, so he has been waking up at 4am for the last couple weeks. Hopefully we will get back to him sleeping to 6am.

*Still no teeth.

*He still loves his jumperoo

*He is a talker...He will talk & talk & talk!

*He isn't much of a mover, or a roller. If he can't reach a toy, he will just move on to something else, sometimes he will get upset, but not all the time.

*He has also learned how to pull off the rings of the doughnut toy!

We can't wait to see what he does next!

Messy Messy Boy

Last week we started him on Prunes. We had got some food from my SIL that Preslie didn't eat, so we decided to try it out. Gavin hasn't made to big of a mess when he eats so far that we have had to clean up...the worst so far was when we started Peaches & they didn't sit well with him & he threw them up. Prunes are messy, because they are dark instead of neutral colored. At least he liked them!

Sickness...

Saturday, the day after my birthday, Gavin was having a rough day! He had 3 blowouts in a row & was super cranky. I thought it was because of the caffeine I drank...because it was my birthday. Here is his new "Mother of all Blowouts" picture, because it trumps the last one! He was so tired Saturday night we wouldn't fall asleep until he was all worn out in his sleeper.

Sunday Gavin was still super cranky, he wouldn't nurse & was sleeping for 2 hours at a time when he nursed. He never sleeps like that.

Monday he was doing all right but when I got home from work, he was warm. We tried to take his temperature, but he was moving so much, he wouldn't let us. I brought him home, gave him some meds & feed him. He feel asleep & slept for a long time. After he woke up, he was still burning up, so I took his temperature & it was 101.9. He had a rough night Monday night & woke up with a fever again on Tuesday. We took him to the Dr. & they had said it was a virus, but did a urinalysis to test for a UTI. They are now thinking that it isn't a UTI & just a virus. He fever finally broke last night & he is finally starting to come around. He has been throwing up every time I nurse him, but this morning he finally didn't. Now we just need to get him to eat & sleep again at night and he will be back to normal! Thanks everyone for your thought, prayers & faith! We love you!

BIRTHDAY

Last weekend was my birthday. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, thoughts, texts, emails, messages, gifts, everything! It was a great day! I got the day off, even though I didn't think I was going to with how busy I have been at work. I got to hang out with my Boys all day, we got Bear groomed, which was very much needed, Played a new Wii game that is super addicting & went to dinner at my favorite Mexican Resturant. It was a great day & here's to 27!

My Boys, on my Birthday!

Look who can Sit

A couple weeks ago we started working with Gavin on sitting. He has pretty much got it mastered, & we let him sit while we are cleaning house or doing other stuff to keep him occupied. We keep a Boppy behind him just in case he looses his balance, but lately it has been really rare, so I think he has gotten it down. Here he is on all his sitting glory...I will take you through his sitting stages!

Buddy Walk

On the 26th of September, we participated in our First Annual Buddy Walk for out sweet niece Preslie. It was so much fun with a carnival for the kids & my SIL's friend Jen donated her time & talents to the Buddy Walk as 'Soda Pop' the Clown! Her & Michelle made balloon animals & painted faces. After the 'Walk' around the block, we had lunch & sat around chatting with our great team that was there to support. Enjoy the pictures of this great day & we can't wait until next year to do this again!

Worlds LARGEST Cinnamon Roll

A couple weeks ago, Mike & I went to a little cute "Food Storage" store in Lehi/American Fork. They sell these HUGE Cinnamon Rolls for $5. It took us all week to go through this thing to eat. We took some to work & ate some for breakfast...it was super yummy!
