Vomit, Birthday Parties and Gripe Water

We all finally got over the mean stomach bug. I hope that you don’t get it, it is bad! I cleaned and bleached the house last week so if it was still here it in dead now. It took Garrett over a week to get back to normal and he lost some weight. He finally got is appetite back and he is hungry!

Garrett has been a party animal lately. We celebrated my birthday with a party with Nono and Pop on Sunday. My parents came over for dinner and my mom made her delicious banana pudding. Garrett is a huge fan of banana pudding, we found out. My birthday was on Monday and Teri and the girls took me and Garrett out to lunch. Garrett enjoyed playing with them. Sydney rolled over for the first time while they were here. While Garrett was napping I ran a few errands and used some of my birthday money to get a pedicure. When I got home Mimi was here with a gift for me and she was playing with Garrett. Branden picked up dinner and made me a birthday martini. It all was very yummy. He said he was going to make arrangements for us to have a nice dinner on Friday.

Garrett’s friend Anderson had his birthday party yesterday and we had a great time. While we were there I was talking to the other moms about Garrett having a bad day. He was cranky, not eating well and not sleeping well, that is not normal for him. They said that they use gripe water and swear by it. Amy gave me a bottle and I gave some to Garrett and in 5 minutes he was back to normal. I have used it a few more times when I can tell he is having trouble with his teeth and it seems to help him. Anything at this point that helps we will use. Garrett has another party to go to tomorrow.

Oh, Garrett did get a black eye last week. He was standing up by Branden’s desk and lost his balance and hit his face on the wheel of the office chair. We were both there and scooped him up but he did not cry as long as I thought he would. He had a nice shiner for a few days but is all better now. He will take a few steps here and there but still is not that interested in walking. We are doing what we can to encourage him but he knows he can get there faster by crawling. He will get there; we are not in any hurry.

How many birthday parties have you been to this week?

    What is gripe water? and, do they have it for adults? I’d like to put some in the water cooler at work.
