All Around Update

Braden finally started feeling better on Saturday. He had his last fever on Saturday morning and has been improving ever since then. We still do not know the source of the infection, but we do know that he had a bacterial infection. They gave him a strong dose of antibiotics to take for 10 days and a shot to help him fight the infection. We will get the results from the last test they ran on Monday. Thank you so much for the prayers- they definitely worked!
We had a couple firsts this weekend as well...
He shot his first basketball (2pts) on my birthday! What a nice present:) This ofcourse was a BIG deal to Jill because she played basketball all her life! We are secretly hoping for a future NBA Allstar- hehe:)
He also had his first haircut! It was too cute! We went to the Kid Snips place that has them sit in different chairs- he sat in the Hummer:) It was so adorable!!!! He really did a good job and only cried a little, but the faces he made were HILARIOUS! We gave him some Coca-Cola to drink and a sucker to keep him still. It was all good once he got the sucker:)
He also had his first ride in the little car at the grocery store. He held on to the steering wheel like he was the big man on campus! Every once in a while he would honk the horn as we went down the isle. He was cracking me up:) Everyone that passed us talked to him and told him how cute and BIG he was:) My baby is growing up too fast!!
Just see below...

At Kroger- I'm a big boy:)

I'll be still if you give me some Coke!!!

Aaaahhhh- what is she doing back there???


Don't let her do it Mama!


A birthday kiss for Mama:)

Whew, what a relief!
(I'm also relieved to know I'm not the only mom who resorts to suckers to get my kid to sit still!)
