Christian Loves To Feed Himself!

We are officially at the point where Christian wants to feed himself. In fact not only does he love to feed himself but he wants to feed the person who gave him the food, he thinks that's pretty great. So every day when it's time to eat, you better believe that I'm being fed by Christian something that's on his tray. He's just completely adorable right now, he has become very brave and is starting to walk around the house all by himself. I'll post some videos soon.

Poor little Christian was super sick that whole week with a high fever and throw ups. He was not getting any better and the doctors were monitoring him with me over the phone. But come day five he still was having throw ups and fever so they admitted him to the hopsital for an IV and some blood tests to find out if there was something more serious happening in his little body.
It was so sad when we got to the hospital because we thought Christian would struggle and scream when they tried to put the IV in, but all he did was lay there and moan. It was devastating feeling like you could not do anything to help him.
Wihtin the first hour of being there they put in a IV took a whole bunch of blood, gave him a Tylenol sappository, and they tried a catheter because they wanted a Urin sample, but he was so dehydrated they couldn't get anything out. Thankfull, slowly, but surely the IV helped give him the strength to fight off the virus (that was the consesus, all the testing came back negative so it was just a very bad gastro virus). We were there for 2 days and 2 nights and hope not to repeat it EVER again!
This sad is cute and sad. When Christian was sick he just wanted to sit in your lap, he especially loved laying his head in Dan's hands.

Graduation

Well, we have had a crazy, crazy last couple of weeks. First, Dan graduated YEAH!!!! We are all very excited. I was so proud of him watching him on stage, it's nice to know we are finished with school and moving on with the next chapters of our lifes.

My Birthday came in the midst of graduation and Christian being sick. That's right people, I'm 27! I know, I know, everyone says that's not old. But when you still feel 18, and in my mind my two older sisters are 25 and 27, it's a little mind blowing when you turn 27.

Christian's 1st Birthday

+

Okay, well we made it through. We feel like accomplished parents because we have been able to keep our kid alive for one whole year, he's a little skinny (we are working on that) but he's a live and kicking! We had a great birthday, you can tell Christian is tired, and not quite sure about this birthday business. But since then, we have given him left over cupcakes and he has decided that he approves.

Easter

Technically, this is Christian's 2nd Easter, but he was just a week old for last years easter.

Our Easter had two parts, on Saturday we went to Grandpa Olsen's Farm. We had a bbq and an Easter Egg hunt, we also celebrated Grandpa's birthday.

Easter day was absolutely beautiful! We went to church and Dan sang a solo, he did great. Then we went over to Greg & Ericka's house. We had dinner and made an easter egg hunt for the kids. Christian started to get by the end, but mostly he was busy taking the eggs out of his basket as Dan put them inside.

After dinner we went outside to the front yard and just let the kids go nuts. Christian loved it and did not want to go home. It was one of those evenings that makes me remeber being little and playing the rest of the day away with family.

My New Haircut!

Never had my hair this short, people, but I love it!
