Getting Ready for My Bath!

My three favorite things in the world right now: bathtime, walking, and being naked! We leave tomorrow for Grandpa's so keep us in your prayers. We will be driving at night to help the baby stay on a decent sleep schedule. We'll be home on Tuesday, hopefully with lots of new pictures! Posted by Picasa

Mobile Monkey

And so it is that the monkey crawls! In the forward direction that is. He started going Tuesday evening after Daddy got home from work and by Wednesday afternoon was making lots of progress. He's still learning and getting the feel of this whole mobility thing, but I fear it will not be long before our whole house is at his fingertips. He also likes to stand up in is crib now. So I spent today pulling out all of his toys and the crib bumper, so that he wouldn't have anything to use to climb out. Also, in Mommy news, I finally put the sewing machine Daddy got me for Mother's Day, to good use. I made black-out curtains for the Monkey's room and a set of curtains for the living room. I still have the ones to do in our room, but Daddy and I can not agree on a fabric yet, so they'll have to wait. All in all, I'm pretty proud of myself. Hope everyone is having a good week. We'll be gone the end of next week to visit "Grandpa" & "Grandma Cathy" in Georgia. Hopefully we'll have lots of pictures to share when we get back. Posted by Picasa

Happy "Belated" Birthday Aunt Fran!

Yesterday was Aunt Fran's birthday, I hope she had a good one! But mostly I hope that she can come visit me soon. I miss her a whole bunch. So here is a picture of us together, right after I came out of the belly. Aren't we cute together! Posted by Picasa

A Rough Week for Mommy

I can't believe I went an entire week without posting, but as I said, its been a rough week. Teething is the pits! My sweet, happy, content to do anything little monkey is miserable! Poor kid is teething, trying to walk, trying to crawl, Mom's trying to make him take a bottle, and learning to eat solids. He's too young to be this busy. Last night he put himself to bed at 5 pm!! Mommy is not adjusting well to having a grumbly baby either, its all I can take to make it until Daddy gets home some days. Fortunately, MawMaw comes to the rescue when Mommy has had enough and Daddy is still a long way off. I don't think there will ever come a day when I don't NEED my Mom. In case I haven't said it lately, "I love you, Mom!!" Sorry for the Mommy mushy moment, but if it wasn't for my Mom and my very patient and sweet husband, I'd be in the loony bin right now. Love to you both! Here's hoping those teeth make it in SOON!!

Stuck in Reverse

Poor Monkey, the kid can only go backwards right now! Well the other day he really got going and got himself stuck underneath the chair. Boy did he get mad, especially since Mommy and MawMaw were so busy laughing they just left him there. Don't worry, we did eventually free the trapped Monkey.

Getting my "chews". After we finished our walk, he decided it was time to get to work on this teething thing. That's the only time he will take a pacifier, when he wants something to chew on. Posted by Picasa

The Bloody "U"

The Monkey has some foam alphabet letters he likes to chew on. Today was brought to you by the letter "U". While chewing on the "U" in the backseat with MawMaw, she noticed something funny. "He has orange all over his mouth," she said. "That's odd," I thought, "but whatever?!?" "Oh no," she says, "that's not orange, that's blood. He's just cut his first tooth!" Don't panic, its not a lot of blood, barely any really, if MawMaw hadn't been back there I probably would never have even noticed. So there you have it folks, the Monkey has his first tooth! As soon as he decides to share it with us I will post pictures.

My Visit with MawMaw & PawPaw

I had a good time at MawMaw & PawPaw's today. I slept most of the time. Then I rolled off of the bed in my sleep. What a rude awakening! But after that everybody loved on me and played with me, so I decided to let them off the hook, this time!

Silly Times

Daddy put my burp cloth on my head and I just let it sit there. Daddy can get away with all kinds of stuff! Posted by Picasa
