I took a bunch of pictures of Karter to send to both sets of Grandparents, well my Mom apparently had the same idea. Her and Emily took pictures of Karter like this... to give me for Valentines Day
Though i do need to take credit for his tie and suspenders outfit :) He is one loved baby!
But onto how our Valentine's was... Emily called me earlier last week wanting to know if she could babysit on Valentine's night for us as her and Stephen were celebrating on Saturday - sweet, sounded good to me, Scott and I definitely needed a date night!
I spent most of last week getting over a stupid cough/cold... to that point Karter and Scott had escaped from any sickness... until Thursday...Karter just didn't really seem himself and he had a tiny little cough, nothing major. We sent him to his babysitter on Friday, she mentioned that he just wasn't his chipper self and instead of kicking and squirming like he usually does, she described him as a wet noodle. so sad.
I picked him up around 3, went down to the car lot to meet Scott (we are now proud owners of a travel trailer - another post), he was alright, just... mopey?
anyway, stopped to get a papa murphy's pizza for Emily and Stephen (heart shaped of course), got their diet cokes and headed home. Emily met me at the house as I was unloading the car. I told her Karter was a little sick, but nothing major, the only thing she really needed to know was if he starts coughing and it sounds like a seal barking, she needs to take him outside in the cold air and call me immediately. Well, sure enough, as I took him out of his carseat, he started coughing... and barking like a seal... Emily looked at me... "yep, that sound.." so I took him outside - he is hysterically crying at this point - I think it scared him as he was having a hard time breathing. Scott got home, we finally got him calmed down, fed him, changed him into pajamas. Canceled our movie tickets, sent Emily home and headed to KidsCare :( Once we got there...
