my baby is sick :(.

why oh why did i have to kiss him so much?!?.....

we're taking a lazy day and sleeping lots and lots. 

thank the heavens (and shiloh) for that blessed swing. he loves that thing.

sometimes he smiles at himself in the reflector thing above him :). 

sweet little boy is sick, but still all smiles. 

i've been trying not to kiss him so much. hardest thing i've ever done. 

(hehe!!!! you should hear his sweet little fake whine right now! i'm trying not to laugh....) 

i guess we haven't been as careful with him as we should be. 

we took him to sacrament yesterday.

and the day before that we went out to eat, and then shopping. 

he usually just sleeps in his carseat, but he was having none of that. 

.... i took him out!!!! yes! it's true..... 

 and this is what happens....

poor boy woke up and couldn't breathe out of his nose and then cried his head off while i tried to 

suck out all of his snot.

and then he started coughing.... it breaks my heart every time he does it. 

i am also sick. 

we both woke up sick. 

i've got the super dry throat cough which sounds like what he has, but his is a little more raspy.

 i hope he's ok. he is being a little champ.

that good little baby has been sleeping all day. he wakes up to eat, and then i put him in that swing and he goes right to sleep and sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. if sleeping helps babies as much as everyone else, he should be better in no time....... (i'm keeping my fingers crossed!)

i love this perfect little boy.

so here's the sad truth - i'm obsessed with my kid. but it turns out that's not really very sad at all... 

because so are you. 

arthur will be the death of me. 

he's 8 weeks old! he'll be 2 months on the 6th. time goes by so fast.

it breaks my heart that none of you get to hold him and love him while he's so sweet and little.

it is honestly one of my very favorite things to do. 

there was a while where i thought i was crazy for having a kid so young, but now i am so glad i did.

If chubbs was gone all day and i didn't have arthur, i would probably be in a crazy depression or something. he is the best baby in the world, and i mean it when i say it. he still doesn't cry.

everyone kind of makes fun of him because he doesn't. 

last night, arthur was breathing heavily while he was sleeping, so silas told him to please be quiet because we were trying to talk. silly.

i think (well, i guess i know) that he is growing like crazy because he slept almost all day yesterday. and then (shows how dumb i am) i was worried he wouldn't sleep at night. only to find out that he was only going to wake up twice to eat. what a champ. i love him so much.

he's kind of a weirdo. he has started to stick his tongue out all the time. when he smiles, and when he breathes and pretty much all the time. whatever that means. he looks like a lizard.

and he's finally starting to make sounds! little cooing sounds....

 he talks to me because he likes me. that's what. 

so, i don't know if everyone knows this, or maybe it's just some sick form of child abuse, but.... a drop of lemon juice cures hiccoughs for babies. true. i've done it lots of times.... 

well!..... 

he gets the hiccoughs a lot! and his face is so cute when he's trying to swallow it! 

sue me. you'd do it too. 

i don't do it for pleasure.... but i don't hate it either. 

so, i know these pictures are all so similar, but there's only so much i can do when he can't crawl or walk or anything. i don't know if you guys are sick of them, but i'm not... so i keep taking them..... 

just appreciate the kid for who he is. cute. inside and out. 

and perfect. 

i don't know how i got so stinking lucky.....

p.s. i miss all of you. never move to texas.

 tiffani. thanks for this cute cute cute coat. he loves it.

 right up the nose.....

 tongue.
