Breakfast with Santa

Yesterday morning (Pre-ER) we went to church to have Pancakes with Santa. 

  This is the first year that Eamon wasn't scared of Santa.  He walked right up to him and told him that he wanted a bird for Christmas. 

Brady told Santa that he wanted a nap.

2 Years, 11 Months, 6 Days, 1 hour and 30 minutes

That's how long it took to make our first ER trip with Eamon.

Yesterday while Eamon and I were wrapping Christmas presents, he lost interest and decided to push around the lid to the wrapping paper storage container.  He then thought it would be a good idea to stand on it, which led to the collision of his head and his wooden chair.  Blood was everywhere and we were headed to the Chi!dren's Hospit@l ER.

It stopped bleeding and I was able to clean him up some before we got in the car and he had calmed down some, but then he wanted Daddy and started crying again.

He kept messing with in the car, so when we got to Daddy it looked like this and he had fallen asleep.

We got to the ER and they Valet parked our car so we were both able to go in with him.  We only sat in the waiting room a few minutes until we were called back.

The admitting nurse put a numbing gel on his forehead and secured it on with a clear adhesive bandage.  The numbing gel takes 30 minutes to work.  It is used instead of any injections.

 I grabbed the DVD player as we were walking out the door, so Eamon enjoyed watching Cars while waiting for the doctor.

They strapped him to a papoose board so he wouldn't move around while they did the stitches.  The doctor said that kids usually scream and cry when they are strapped to the board, but Eamon did great!  Not one cry.  He was happy and kept talking to us.  

Three stitches later and we were on our way home. 

The doctors and nurses were great with Eamon.  They spoke to him and explained everything to him.  We were in and out of the ER in under 2 hours.

Eamon was so brave, no crying, so whining.  He amazed us all.  

MamaMarie came to the hospital to help us watch Brady.  Of course, Brady decided to wake up just when the doctor started stitching Eamon up.

Passy Time

Eamon is still loving his baby brother.

7 Weeks Old

6 Week Check up

We went for Brady's 6 week check up on December 6th.  

He weighs 9 lbs .5 oz.  

22" long.

He got 4 shots, 2 in each thigh, and one oral immunization.  He was a trooper at the doctor's office and didn't cry very long.  He napped on the way home, but was quite a fussy boy that night.  I don't blame him.

Bath Time

 Eamon enjoyed helping bathe Brady.

Thanksgiving Cookies

Last week Eamon found sprinkles in the pantry at Marie & Papa's house and wanted to make cookies.  Aunt Jen and Eamon made sprinkled buttered toast because there was no cookie dough.  MamaMarie bought Eamon some cookie dough and he made cookies on Thanksgiving Eve.

 Where was Brady?  Sleeping
