rmd was a bit feverish on sunday and afraid of another ear infection, mommy took him to the pedi monday to find out what the culprit might be. turns out he has a sinus infection and since his coughing has gotten worse over the last week, the np saw some bronchial tightening as well so prescribed albuterol, normally for asthma - which she didn't think he has, to see if it might help. rmd got a prescription for the liquid form, but here we are in the office trying out the breathing treatment... mommy had to try all sorts of things to distract him..
rmd not a fan.

passion for fashion
this past weekend, our friend drew bear came down to celebrate his 1st birthday and we got to go back to IPC for another fun-filled afternoon! Happy Birthday Drew - can't wait to hang out again soon!
afterwards, we found a fun little park where auntie vicky & rosie got to hang out with reiken while mommy got to take a couple of family pix for the duong-swecker family. here's a pic auntie vicky took while entertaining rmd, or was it rmd entertaining them??
then on saturday night, mommy got to attend fashion for a passion, a benefit to raise money for international orphanages... mommy's feet were numb by the end of the night but all worth it for such a great cause... check it out!
in the spirit of all this, mommy must have been distracted cause today, during snacktime....
this is how mommy found rmd....
he sat like this for a whole hour eating his snacks and mommy didn't even notice till he was done. here's a second look at our little boy... nice design for a skirt u think? LOL - don't worrry aunties, this will probably the only time mommy will be dressing him like a girl...heeeheee
maybe thats why mommy kept getting this look...

the director, the fever, daycare and now...
its been a busy and stressful last few weeks. hmmm, we haven't posted for a while now so not going to take it through the nitty gritty but its been quite the rollercoaster.
we first got to get close & personal with ms. jolene bao at her 4mo photo shoot. it was fun and mommy definitely learned some new tricks... rmd got to help too by entertaining jolene for a lil bit (or at least trying to snatch her socks) then got serious and helped uncle jerry tape the session... hmmm, future director?? we is not know...
we then got to go celebrate sydney's 3rd birthday at the park last sunday.. no pix but we had lots of fun... unfortunately, later that night, rmd got a little fever...and come to find out a few days later, it was an ear infection. yucky! first one yet... and after a few sleepness nights of many upchucks and really high temps, mmmm, we all agree - NOT SO FUN! but good thing, after a few days of loadin up on the meds, rmd finally got rid of the fever and back to normal.. or so we thought!
daddy started back up at work so after exhausting all options, daycare we went. rmd did pretty well for the most part... prolly much better than daddy did - hehe... day 1 for rmd - not bad, day 2 - prolly not as great since our lil man knew what to expect and needless to say, the waterworks started as soon as mommy got further than a ft away... and day 3? well, day 2 ended with a rash. day 3 is now a full blown rash... so mommy had to cut day 3 at daycare after just an hour. verdict? most likely an allergic reaction to penicillin that he'd been taking for the ear infection or just an allergic reaction to new foods... meatloaf? hmm...just might be the culprit!
getting used to his new surroundings... jumparoo? kinda yay?
not so bad... "who are all these lil peeeple
and why do i have this cookie in my hand?"
hmmm... something fisshy goin on.. but oddly mesmerized by this lady... (and yes, that other lil one eyeing reiky's cookie does become the lil thief & snatched it right out of our guy's lil hands! yup, a whole new world out there...)
and now you ask - what else could have possibly happened to top off this "fabulous" week...? why would mommy be posting at this hour even tho there's so much work to catch up on? well... looks like the ol' hard-drive on mommy's work laptop has finally bit the dust and apparently, IT doesn't work at midnight, at least that was what mommy was told by the overseas tech support guy. ugh... thats it, we're getting a mac...

big 0-1!
stop the presses... rmd has officially turned 1! ok, so we're a tad late posting but its been nuts lately - surprised we're even able to post tonight.. but i guess sleep can wait just a tad longer as well. its amazing how fast the year has went by... mommy, especially, couldn't get over it the entire day, as the memories & events of this lil guy's birth-day kept replaying over and over!
for the big day, we got to celebrate at the ever so popular incredible pizza company and then we got to go downtown with rmd's buddy collin to take a few more pix and enjoy the nice weather outside! thanks again everyone for all of the birthday wishes, really cool presents and just being able to make it out to celebrate the big day with us!
oh, and then we went for rmd's 1-year checkup and although he hasn't gotten much taller, his head sure has gotten a lot bigger! haha, no pun intended =)
stats:
Height - 28" (3-5%), mommy is gonna start feeding him giraffe's milk.
Weight - 21.8 lbs, just barely heavier than a bag of rice.
Head size - now, in the whopping 97%!
first taste of cake!
think he liiiikes it!
growing up so fast...
we definitely couldn't do this last year at this time!
what a year of "firsts" its been... for sure a year to remember ...
and hope that each year can only be out-done by the next!
