What's happin' with the Morris-Seales family?

Here are a few pictues from this weekend. Meredith and I went to Campbellsville Saturday evening and got home last night. We had a very nice weekend. We went to the park and played on the swings for a while and had lots of visitors while we were there. We also had an "Open House" at Grandma Seales house on Saturday afternoon, so it has been a full weekend.

We put the bed up on Saturday and that night after rocking Meredith to sleep we laid her down in her new bed. All was well for exactly 1 hour. She slept and didn't make a sound. But at 11 pm she woke up screaming and Todd laid with his had on the bed for the next few hours. Around 4 am Meredith sat up in the bed screaming her head off and for good reason. I went to pick her up and she was burning up. I ran for the thermometer and sure enough she had a big fever, 102. Off I head for the baby Tylenol, (now here's just a thought, if a DR recommends that you give an infant Tylenol, why in the world does every bottle of medication say under 24 months consult a doctor?) Anyway back to the story. I read on the bottle of Tylenol (not the one I bought in Guatemala, trying to figure out Spanish at 4 am didn't go so well.) and we gave her a small dose and it worked almost instantly. What a relief. We kept a check on the fever for the rest of the day Sunday and it would spike up every ...

faster than we would like thank you very much. But in an effort to help mommy and daddy sleep we bought the toodler bed today. We set it up in our room in hopes that Meredith with sleep in it. She seems to have a phobia about any bed with big rails or tall sides like the pack and play. You can lay her down in one of those sound asleep but as soon as her back hits the mattress she is wide awake and screaming. She'll sleep just fine in the bed with me or Todd or on a pallet on the floor. So we thought we would give this a try. One other reason was she decided she wanted off the bed this morning and off she tumbled. She thought it was funny so mommy and daddy thought we better do something before she made a game out of falling off the bed. Her new bed is 10 inches from the floor so that's not as bad as our bed. Here is a picture of the new bed, we put it right next to ours so we are all sleeping in the same room. Our bedroom is nothing but beds now, oh well. What ever it takes to ...

One band aid was a Crayon the other was Spongebob . Well lets just say that today was a very upsetting day. We had an appointment with our second pediatrician yesterday and we feel much better about this one. He said that Meredith looked very healthy and was progressing very nicely. He did order lab work, but no where near as many test as the first doctor wanted to do. And we will not be repeating vaccinations unless the test show that they didn't take, unlike the first doctor who wanted to start that day with brand new shots without even waiting for the results. Our new doctor also said that Meredith can start eating table food as long as it is closely supervised, don't want her getting choked. Thank you Mary for recommending this doctor, it might be a little bit out of our way but it is well worth the drive. Now to today's events. We first made a stop at the Probate Court office, our court date is this Thursday to legally change Meredith's name. We submitted all ou...

On our new pool!!!! I hope it doesn't take too much water to fill up. This is the second post for the day be sure to look at the one below.

Or in English. Happy Mothers Day. Meredith wanted to do a tribute entry to all the important mama's in her life. Of course me, Mamaw Morris, Nana Seales and her Nannie Santos in Guatemala. Plus all the other great women in her life. Sunday is our day!!!! Or as in Guatemala today May 10th is Mothers Day. Meredith says "Mom you have got to be kidding!!!!"

Meredith is finally becoming a daddy's girl. She is letting Todd take care of her now and I even got to leave yesterday for 3 hours!!!! I promise that there will be new pictures in the near future. We have decided not to go to a photographer till her 1st birthday which is a little over a month from now. So "mom's photography" will have to do for now. I was cleaning Meredith's room this afternoon and I put her in her crib to play and look what happened......Could it be? Meredith sleeping in her crib???? Here is another picture I took this morning. This pretty yellow dress arrived in the mail the other day from another Guata Mama in Nancy KY. Thanks Amy!!!!
