Daddy come back!!!

Daddy is gone for work this week and we REALLY, REALLY miss him!!!  This week was a wake-up call for mom on how much daddy really does for us!

On top of missing daddy, we have a tooth coming in.  This thing has GOT to come through soon.  We normally get to sleep all night but the past three nights have not gone all so well.  We're hoping to go for a good night tonight!

On top of that, we're going to try to get into a new, better food routine.  We haven't quite kept up on the breakfast, lunch, dinner routine so that's going to be our new plan with snacks/bottles in between. I can't believe my baby is 7 months old now too...that is just CRAZY!  I feel like it was just yesterday I thought they were going to put me on bed rest and little did I know they told me I was going to go home with a baby! He's really trying to get up on those knees and elbows and scoot.  His super cool trick is to do circles laying on the floor. If you put toys in a circle he will spin around and play with all of them.  He got a new toy, well more than one, but a hammer that he's going to help with on our house!!  Thanks to Jackie!  We're also in our walker however we can barely touch the floor so we don't make much progress.  The fun thing while mommy cooks it to play with the animal magnets on the fridge.  **Pictures to follow once downloaded!

Things have been CRAZY busy as usual.  Mommy learned to golf, daddy tore down our shed, Father's day, daddy goes on a work trip.  I'm sure it will get crazier than calm down before we know it.  Since Cale has taken over our house we need more room so we're in the plan of an addition.  It's going to be a LONG road!

Sleepy boy!

Best news of all...I can hold my own bottle now!!!!

Happy 1st Father's Day!

Swimming and sick:(

Well...we made our first trip to the doctor this week:(  He had a runny nose for the past week and we just thought it was teeth.  Then he started with a cough.  Tuesday night, after a VERY long and tiring weekend, someone was VERY grumpy and the cough was horrible.  We went to the dr Wednesday and he had fluid in his left ear and chest congestion.  Of course, they tell you to come back the next day if it gets worse and since he hadn't had a fever yet.

Good news is...we have our happy baby back after a few days.  Still a little raspy sounding and coughs once in awhile but we seem to be on the mend!

Anywho....Where has time gone?!  Can you believe that I bought my preemie baby boy 12 month clothes this weekend?  He's wearing 9mo. and I know will be out of those shortly.  He is growing like a week.  I almost teared up when I was buying them cause it made me realize just how fast time has gone.  It feels like just yesterday we were discussing having a baby.

Guess who can almost sit up alone?  That's right...this big boy...

We got this super cool toy at a garage sale that he has to sit up to play with and he loved it.  Which reminds me...NEVER again does anyone need to buy a toy from a store.  Seriously...$2 for what would cost me $20...guess where you can find me...garage saling!!!

And...we are also now in..

Our BIG BOY CARSEAT!  Woohoo!!!  That carrier was getting way too heavy.  Bad news is we haven't figured out how he's comfortable in it and when he's tired he screams until you get him out  So...I think we need to do some adjusting. 

Guess who went swimming for the first time?!??!  He loved it once he learned to kick his feet when we were in the water.  We also got a pool (garage sale find) that's just the right size for him to play and me to lay out!  We can't wait to use it this weekend and the rest of the summer!

We have a SUPER busy weekend plan...garage sales, swimming, mommy's doing a 5k and celebrating her birthday and daddy will be working on our new project....tearing down and building a new shed....then onto the house...

Adios amigos!
