Stephen is four weeks old as of yesterday and will be one month on Friday! Where does the time go? He's fussing in the carrier as I type so this will be quick, but I just wanted to get some thoughts down before they disappear. The Sunday after Halloween we had a big scare with the little guy. I was fixing dinner, Stephen was in the baby carrier behind me, and Adam and Sam were playing on the computer in the corner of the kitchen. Enough supervision right? Not quite. Aviendha came in with a pack of Sour Patch kids and decided to share with the baby. She'd shoved two of the things into his mouth, and halfway down his throat, before I realized exactly what she was doing as she "visited" with the baby. He was resisitng a third which allowed me to figure out what was going on as I turned to check on them. The first was right at the front fo his mouth but the second was all wet and slimy and stuck to the roof of his mouth just at the point where he was half choking on it. I whipped him upside down and started back blows to see if I could dislodge the thing. It was stuck good. Then I tried to sweep it out with my finger. Thank goodness for long finger nails. I was able to hook a section of the thing and pull it out without pushing it in any further. Whew! It still gives me the chills when I think about it all.
I have some really cute new pics of him I'll have to post later; hopefully tomorrow. The girls are watching home videos with my camera downstairs and I have to wait until they are done, so, stay tuned!
