Colds and Doctors

Yesterday I took the day off to be home with Ajax (and Max). Ajax had his first cold, though we were worried it was an ear infection. I bundled him up and took him to the doctor’s office and the Doc said it was only a mild cold (temp at 99), some spitting up. Ajax weighs 19.2 lbs. When we were in the waiting room Ajax was smiling and laughing at the other three kids in the area, those kids however were sick and looked quite miserable. I kept thinking, Ajax could you look a little sicker here? I’d like to report that Ajax is feeling much better today.

MAX

Today was a very sad day in our home. It was time and we had to put Max down. Considering the vet put Max on doggie hospice care over a year ago, no one thought he’d make it this long. As we adopted Max we were never 100% sure of his age, but from what we pieced together from the old owner it seemed he was about 13 years old. Dave and I had him since 2003, he was a member of our family and will be missed dearly.

Hard worker

Just thought I’d show you proof of what a happy little guy we have in the morning. When Dave and I are dragging our feet around the house getting ready for work, Ajax is sitting in his bouncy chair laughing and talking it up.

Dave and Ajax this morning at about 6:40 walking out the door!

Comics

Well ladies and gentlemen Mr. Dave has completed his masterful zombie comic and I’m so very proud of him. I’ll include the link, however, it’s not for children.

Dave’s comic

On a baby note, we had a relaxing Sunday. We went visiting over my Grandpa Nader’s house and made some more baby food. Our Sundays are pretty low key generally as we’re mostly home bodies. There was talk of going grocery shopping and mowing the lawn, neither of which was accomplished.

Six

Ajax is 6 months old today, I can’t believe it. Seems like I was just pregnant, lol. The little guy is still growing and we had to get him a new big boy car seat. He’s fully able to sit up and play, and he can roll from his tummy to his back with no problem. He’s very vocal and chatters away incoherently. He hasn’t really gotten the finger food thing down yet, as I keep giving him little biscuits to hold and chew on, but he doesn’t seems to really know what to do with them. We had a low key day as the weather was cold and rainy, though we did manage to get one brief walk in when the weather broke this afternoon.

Yesterday (and Thursday), my parents babysat Ajax (and my Aunt Susie, thanks Aunt Susie! Thanks mom and dad!). And my mom stayed over Friday night so that Dave and I could go on a date. We did dinner and movie; we saw Zombieland as October is officially Zombie month in the Indish home.

We got Ajax this baby piano at Target today for his 1/2 yr birthday, he really likes it.
