My baby is 6 months today! For the occasion, mommy bought him a quilt to roll around and play on. After the weekend we had, I was so thankful that he had a good day today. On Sunday night we had to take Ben to the ER because he had thrown up 4 times in a two hour period and the on call physician said it would be a good idea to take him because there is a risk at this age to get dehydrated. We were greeted by a condescending nurse who apparently thought that us being there was a waste of time. We were there for over two hours and we learned nothing that we didn't already know. He drank some pedialite and they gave him some nausea medicine and we were on our way. We were very scared, but humbled with the fact that there are other families who pay weekly visits to the ER or Texas Children's. We were reminded to count our blessings. The past six months of mommy-hood have been extraordinary. I am a different person than I was before: a more selfless person. Ben's needs come before mine. To care for someone this much is a very rewarding thing.
Here are some pictures of Ben's first haircut. He was sitting in his Bebe pod playing with this toy. I have been wanting to do this for like a month. I just grabbed some scissors and committed to the idea. He was fairly still the whole time. I just trimmed up his neck and the sides. He looks so handsome!
