Peanut Butter update

I wanted to give all of you an update on Hayden's possible Peanut Butter allergy. As ya'll probably remember, last fall when visiting with a friend and her little girl, Hayden had some kind of reaction. His nose and eyes were very itchy with a runny nose. We gave him benedryl and he was fine. Our only thought was that the little girl Hayden was playing with had had some peanut butter earlier and was very lovey on Hayden. So from then on we have decided not to give him peanut butter for a while. Well today I thought we would try actually eating it. I gave him just a peanut butter (sandwich) cracker after he got up from his nap. I only gave him one so I didn't overdo the PB for the first time. Well he seemed fine and so we headed up to the YMCA so that I could workout. As we were walking on the sidewalk to go in, Hayden threw up very badly. It very much scared me because it was a lot and he hadn't done that before. Evidently someone saw us because I called inside (on my phone) to see if someone could come help me and one of the front desk persons was already walking outside with cleaning spray. (only to find out he needed a hose instead)
So I called the doctor. (I never actually got to go in the Y) She said that it could be a reaction to the peanut butter but not to worry yet. She said if he stayed sick throughout the night to then bring him in in the morning. (it was 4:30 at this time) She also said not to do PB again til a later date. (I'm hesitant on ever doing it) From that point on til about 1 hour later Hayden was sneezing constantly which seemed to also have been a reaction symptom. Without the sneezing my other thought was him throwing up could have been from the heat. I do need to mention this though. When we were walking up to the YMCA on the sidewalk (seconds before getting sick) Hayden was jumping over the cracks. (Suzie, you know what I'm talking about) So he was feeling fine. Then when we got home he was just himself. Jumping on me, eating, and playing! I say (type) all this because if you keep Hayden ever (mostly to the grandparents) keep Peanut Butter or nuts of any kind out of the menu (not that ya'll have put it in there but you know what I mean) and also to pray for our little guy; we hope it was just a little reaction and he is all better. Love you all!!! Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Katy

Our trip to Longview!!

So Hayden and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Longview to hang out with my family. Our weekend started out great because not only were we at my parents but my grandparents (Hayden's great grandparents) came over for dinner. I love watching my grandpa on the ground with Hayden playing. Hayden of course loves it and he would every once in a while laugh uncontrollably. Here are a few pics to the capture the silliness and the wonderful visit! Unfortunately I don't have any of my Grandma McCaw.....here are Grandma Martin and PaPa McCaw.




Saturday we got to hang out and go shopping with my mom....here are few pics to capture our time hanging out at the house before our shopping adventure! Notice my dad laughing pretty hard in the pic with Hayden......I was about to take a pic of them eating (just acting natural) when Hayden turned toward me and soo clearly said CHEEESE!!!! My dad laughed so hard!
We also went bowling upstairs in the hallway. That was a lot of fun. Hayden decided to cheat (haha); after he would roll (or throw) he would crawl to the pins and knock them over. Mom and him also birdwatched in the backyard!





The main event of the weekend was going to the Gladewater Roundup Rodeo. I wanted to take Hayden and I was hoping he would enjoy it.....boy did he ever. We had no problems and watched it from 8:15 til 10:30 when it was over. Yes! We were out that late with him....he took a wonderful nap on Sunday afternoon so its ok. Here a few pics from the rodeo.






Sunday afternoon Hayden got to play in his new water toy that he got from his great grandparents. He had a wonderful time. It is a huge beach ball that hooks up to the waterhose and spits out water. Everytime Hayden would run through it he would squeal.





I have a video coming of Hayden playing with this ball....I just can't get it working so I'll have to ask my wonderful husband to help me. To end the weekend...my dad brought us along with my grandparents to Fort Worth. My grandparents came so that they could see Mason, my 3 month old nephew. You will notice in the last picture that Hayden is shaking Mason's hand. Such a grown boy.

House full of sick Bucks

Well we had a rough weekend with Hayden. (I'll back up just a little bit) Last week his allergies were doing much better with just a cough at night and that was it. So I decided Thursday not to give him his allergy meds. Then Friday he had a runny nose again so I decided to start him back on his meds before it got worse. Friday night, Saturday night, and last night were all rough nights. Horrible coughing, fever, crying...then during the day he would seem fine. Played a lot but was real thirsty. So since last night was a rough night I decided he needed to go to the doctor especially since we are going into Longview this weekend. I wanted him to be better. Not only did Hayden have a rough night but Joey's throat has started bothering him and I have a small sore throat and feel a little achey now. So I took Hayden to the doctor and she said it was probably just too early to take him off his allergy medicine and said that he has a real bad sinus infection and gave us a prescription that he will take for 7 days on top of his allergy medicine. Pray for the Buck family that it doesn't get any worse than it is. Also pray for rest! Hayden and I met up with a friend (Marcie) today for lunch since she was in the area. We went to Firehouse Subs. They give all the little kids firehats so here are couple of Hayden. One of the pics has him wearing his hat backwards but I don't think he realized it. Enjoy!

Coast 2009

Well I have finally gotten pictures from the coast up. Joey, Hayden, and I enjoyed a great relaxing week with Joey's parents in Corpus Christi/Port Aransas. Hope ya'll enjoy all the pics!!

Air Band video

We are now back from vacation. I will post more on the vacation with pics soon. I wanted to share a video with ya'll of my husband and son putting on a show with their air band for me one afternoon. Please excuse the 28 year old jumping around....look for the little guy.
Also you can notice the distractions that Hayden has. At about 1 minute you will notice Hayden stop what he is doing and asks for a drink. It was hilarious!
