I know it's been some time since I've written on this blog. I just feel like Jay is sucking all of my energy into himself so he can continuously play with his ball pit or run around objects. (His new thing is running circles around the couch and kitchen table. One night it was even Jason!)
Jay has been without a pacifier for almost a month. This decision was made when he chewed through his last pacifier. He's been doing pretty good without it. There were a couple of long nights, but he's not really missing it...unless he sees someone else with one. He's decided to chew on his fingers instead since he's still working on getting the last of his molars.
Jason has been keeping busy by trying to pick up as much overtime that is offered. Summer is just around the corner and that means the end of overtime for a while. CyRide is always busy in the winter and even busier with home basketball games. They haven't cancelled service due to ice or snow, so we count ourselves fairly lucky. (If CyRide did cancel or suspend service, Jason would still have to brave the weather and go to work.)
I am still waiting for Solum to call me to go back to work. I enjoy my time off, but not knowing for sure when I'll be returning to work is starting to drive me a little crazy. I do continue to take Jay to daycare one day a week to keep his spot and for him to remain used to going there. In April, our provider is taking three weeks off to visit her daughter in Italy, so we're working on alternate arrangements for those weeks. (Thanks you to both Grandma Pat and Grandma Deana for taking time out of your schedules to help us!) I am also trying to work on free reading for myself. A lot of reading is done while multi-tasking and Jay's books come first, but I'm slowly getting through the large stack that I have.
We do enjoy the snow that we have gotten. Jay and I took a trek around our yard. I don't think Jay's quite sure what to do with it, but he giggles when he gets to play with it and has discovered he can eat it and Mommy won't get upset.
Jay had a photo session at our Super Wal-Mart today. He was quite difficult, but his session was at 11:45 and they were running about 30 minutes behind. (The second person called in sick.) It was a long morning for both of us since we didn't get out of there until 1. There are some cute pictures though and I'll make sure to give out the website once I get it!

Snow!
Walking carefully.
What is this stuff?
It's tough walking!
He had a blast playing! Unfortunately, it was pretty windy so we didn't stay out too long. We didn't get any farther than the driveway. That's ok, maybe we'll get some more snow playtime this weekend.

Fever
Already into day 14 of the year and this is my first post. I hope this tend doesn't continue! Jay keeps me pretty busy while I'm at home and always wants to play when I have a free minute to blog here.
Jay has a double ear infection. We didn't know anything was bothering him until he ended up with 104.6 fever. Not quite high enough to go to the ER, but enough for an urgent care doctor visit. He's on an antibiotic and we're keeping his fever at bay with Tylenol and Motrin. He always seems to be fine around supper time, just before bed time. He's not playing quite as hard, but he still likes playing with his trucks. He isn't eating quite as much, especially since Friday at lunch he ate an entire can of peaches plus a piece and a half of bread with hummus. He'll still eat M&Ms though!
Jason worked his last Saturday yesterday. They changed his schedule so now he has weekends off instead of Sunday and Tuesday. He won't have to take as much vacation time since he'll already have Saturdays off for us to travel anywhere.
I was planning on being in Miles today, but Jay's fever was pretty high when he woke up this morning. We'll try again tomorrow. I won't go back to work until mid-February, possibly even later. I'm not sure if I'll start back full-time or part-time. I've also been working on finding recipes to make more of our food so we don't have to buy as many processed items. I received a tortilla press for Christmas and it makes tortilla making so much faster! Homemade tortillas are really the way to go!
Jay also finished the toddler's reading program at the library and received a new book! It's about popcorn, one of his favorite snacks! I might have to make some for a snack on our trip!
