I got Lasik, Ty got Strep, & Tag can Stand Up!

I had to throw this picture in! I was exercising and when I was done he put my shoes on and was going to go exercise! I wish I would of got the picture of him like this on the treadmill!

Ty with his swollen face...all he wanted was his momma!

Tag standing up and big brother there to catch him if he fell

All by myself!

No more glasses!! I'm so EXCITED and I just can't hide it!!

It has been a crazy week in the Jensen household! I was so excited to finally get Lasik and was able to do so on Friday January 2, 2009! Everything went great and I could see the next morning. It was really crazy because I have worn glasses since I was in the 3rd grade and now I can wake up each morning and see clearly! I keep going to push up my glasses and realize they are no longer there! It is like you want to try and read every sign you see or every clock you see from a distance to make sure it is really real! I LOVE IT!!! I recommend it to anyone who has to wear glasses or contacts! If I could wear contacts I might not have been in such a hurry to get the surgery done, but after I had my first child, I could no longer wear contacts and it has been torture to wear glasses! Anyhow, I am doing great and today was the first day I could wear make-up! Here's to the new and improved (I think) ME!!

The next adventure is Tag standing up on everything he possibly can and holding on for dear life! It is so fun to watch him! He loves to try and walk along the furniture and is getting better at it! When he first stood up he didn't know what he was suppose to do next and he would start to get frustrated, make this face of confusion, and then cry! It was the cutest and sadest thing all at the same time! The best is when he tries to stand up on the little truck Ty has and it starts to move and he doesn't know how it is happening! Then it topples over on him and he doesn't like that much! He is getting so big and I can't believe he is almost 8 months! We weighed and measured him today and he weighs 23lbs and is 29" tall! What a big boy you are, Tag!

The last adventure for the week was making a trip to Vegas to see the doctor! Ty woke up on Friday morning and wasn't his usual self! He wasn't feeling well at all, so we called the doctor and headed out the door (literally that fast)! We were there for almost 2 hours and he cried or moaned the entire time. Daddy stayed behind to watch Tag and it was a good thing. I had to hold Ty down while the doctor tried to open Ty's mouth and swab his throat for a strep test. Once again he had strep! The left side of his face was also really swollen, but the doctor didn't know why and couldn't see any puss draining from his cheek. She was a little concerned, so we are on a different antibiotic than the normal penicillin! This medicine covers more bacteria, so hopefully it will help his swollen face too! Poor kid had a really rough 2 days, but is almost back to his normal self today! I was very concerned and felt so bad, so I had Josh and Uncle Jacob give him a blessing! I don't know if he understood what was going on, but he sat there so revently and said "Amen" when it was over! Thank goodness for the blessing he was given and Tylenol because that is the only thing that saved us during those rough 2 days! It lowered the fever and made the pain go away, but we knew when the 4 hours were up because he would start to cry and say "owee, owee!" What a week it has been and I am hoping this next one will be better!
