Fever, Doctor's visit, and a haircut! (Still trying to upload the video!)

Well, last week was quite eventful with Eli having between a 100.0-103.0 fever from Wednesday morning to Sunday morning! :( I kept giving him Tylenol and Motrin off and on, and that seemed to control it enough for him to sleep and basically function. He was definitely a lot fussier than his normal self, but that was understandable, so we tried our best just to accommodate him!

We already had his 12 month Doctor appointment scheduled on Friday(He's 14 months!), so we decided to wait till then since it is so difficult to get a sick appointment around here! :( We couldn't get his shots because he was still running a low grade fever, so I'm hoping to get that done the beginning of this week. Anywho, everything else was wonderful! He is 31.5 inches and 26 lbs 9.5 oz, so he is growing wonderfully and she had him walk around and said he was doing really well with his walking, since he is already picking up his feet to walk and doing a lot less waddling... I told her some of the words he is saying, Momma, Dadda, baba (his juice), dog, bampa(Grandpa), Pops, hello, bye-bye, Nay-Nay (Aunt Renee), No-No (His favorite!), Yay-Yay(He'll clap and say this)... He tries to say Haylee and a bunch of other stuff, but I think this is about it...

He also can give a High Five, shake your hands, give hugs, sometimes give me a kiss, run and hide, etc...

So, after he flirted with the doctor and all the nurses, we headed to the commissary to get some more free stuff with the free coupons that I got from the All You magazine, and then we headed home for Eli's nap, then we headed over to Cost Cutter's to get Eli his 1st Haircut! :( I know I've been saying he won't get a haircut for a long time, but it was just growing in unevenly in the back and the sides, so we decided it was time to get it trimmed up a little... I'm already missing his curls, but I know they'll be back soon... But, anywho, we thought y'all would like to see the process, so I videoed the whole affair, so I hope y'all enjoy!

Here is his Before pic (I pulled out the sides so you could see how long it was, but this isn't exaggerated much from how it stuck out everywhere!)


Here is his video... (Please ignore the goofy parents... We're just silly)

It isn't the best quality, but here you go! Sorry it's been such a hassle!
