Where is Jaxton? Where is Jaxton?

1st time to eat a CINNABON ( now they have mini's...they were the BEST!)

Loved the Cinnabon and the Ice Skaters at the Galleria ( easy to put a smile on him)

Tootsie Roll Pop Lover now ( kept him occupied while we got our Flu Shots )

Did I say we HADN'T SLOWED DOWN???? Well I think as soon as I hit the key to up-date Jaxton's blog the last time we HAD to SLOW DOWN!! Jaxton woke up at midnight a week ago this past Saturday throwing up every 15 minutes then every 30 minutes for 8 HOURS!! I called the Dr. in the middle of the night to talk to a nurse because either he had food poisoning or horrible virus....all he said to do was wait it out through the night since there were no other symptoms to alarm him! POOR LITTLE GUY!! I felt so bad for him...trying to throw-up nothing is the worst! He finally quit dry heaving that next morning sometime and it was hard to even keep water down him but FINALLY he did and diluted Gatorade helped tremendously ( Pedialyte to me is so yucky ). All he wanted was for me to hold him and lay down...I don't blame him. Monday my Mom suggested I try baby rice cereal with water and sugar and he scarfed it down and kept it down....I gave him some applesauce and smashed up banana too and it worked wonders...he was up and playing finally! Tuesday I was on my way to Beth Moore and I had to stop at 3 places and NOT TO SHOP....I was getting what Jaxton had!! I turned around and headed home and buddied up with the toilet for the next couple of hours....not much sleep for me that night either so Ross had to stay home because I couldn't get out of bed much and had no energy for a 2 year old!! It wasn't until later that day that I finally felt better....what a horrible stomach virus we had! Thank goodness Ross never got it because he worked a convention all weekend and thank goodness we got better because we stayed at the hotel too to have some fun this past weekend.

When Jaxton and I got to the hotel we decorated the room for Halloween (or at least I did while he smelled his candles and flushed the toilet a hundred times) and waited until Ross got done for the day to go have some fun! Jaxton LOVES Hotels just as much as I do...guess I rubbed that off onto him! We ate at Cheesecake Factory ( since it was pretty kid friendly) and then took Jaxton to Build-A-Bear where he had so much fun making his own Puppy! We had to stop by Godiva and get some GOOD chocolate....I think Jaxton would eat it all if I would let him and Ross too! We headed back to the hotel and sat out by the pool and enjoyed the beautiful full moon with Jaxton...lol !

Saturday, Ross worked his convention during the day and I took Jaxton to the Zoo where they were celebrating ZooBoo ( basically Halloween at the Zoo ). They had lots of fun activities and all the kids were dressed up in their costumes...Jaxton just wore a t-shirt since his costume is Polyester and he would of been too hot in it. Although we were there from 9-12 and there was tons of clouds and wind so we didn't even break a sweat!! This even made the train ride pleasant today!! We headed back to the hotel to take a nap and then Dada was all done and we headed to dinner at Maggiano's! There food is still pretty good and not to mention the wine too!! Jaxton needed to let some energy out so we headed to the Willams Water Wall and enjoyed the evening outside for a bit then we headed to our OLD sushi place hoping they were still open that Ross and I used to visit all the time when we were dating! YEA....It was still there and so were our dear friends the owners. They were just as excited to see us and meet Jaxton as we were to see them! After some catching up Jaxton was ready to cruise so we headed back to the hotel for some moonlight by the pool again!! LOL!

Sunday, Ross worked the convention in the morning so I took Jaxton to the Galleria for his 1st Cinnabon experience and to watch the ice skaters....he loved both! It's been awhile since I had a fresh, warm cinnamon roll....it was GOOD!!! We then made our way over to Barnes and Noble to show him a bookstore ( since he knows what a library is ) and of course he was pulling all the books out especially the ones that make noise BUT he did put them all back up too! We found a Halloween book and headed back to the hotel to check out. BUT before we headed home Ross and I stopped at the CVS by the Galleria to get our flu shot since they take your insurance there... my arm is STILL HURTING from this year's shot...it better be that GOOD!!! And Jaxton sucked on his Tootsie Roll pop...not gonna worry about candy this week since it is HALLOWEN WEEK!!
