Finally

Today JT is 3 months old. It's not until you look back at pictures that I realize how much he's grown. He's almost out of his car seat, I've packed up a large amount of clothes that no longer fit, his feet almost hang over the edge of the swing . . .

We're still working on the cereal, it's not going too well. Tonight he got himself so worked up that he threw up everything he'd eaten. I'm calling the doc tomorrow to see what we should do. He's sleeping peacefully now, after a bath and a swaddle to calm him down.

I've taken the evening to finally work on my digital scrapbooking. It's not anything too fancy at this point, but I'll get better over time.

Here are the two pages - (click for a larger image)

Blogging Good

I'm finally getting around to thinking about starting to maybe try and stay awake at night to work on digital scrapbooking. I've downloaded a bunch of stuff, bid on external hard drives on ebay, scanned in various things that were in the paper version of JT's scrap book, made a list of all the pages I want to do, and made lists of things to include on all the pages I want to do.

Now, I just have to do it.

I must say though, I couldn't remember some details and I'm very glad I have this blog to look back on. It's fun to look through the chaos that was the last several months and know that I made it through.

(Plus I can't remember crap since JT was born . . . what was I doing again?)

First Cereal

This may take some getting use to. We did cereal for the first time this weekend. It's a strange dance of spoon, scream, bottle - spoon, scream, bottle. We'll get there eventually.

Star Wars according to a 3 year old.

Too cute!

Roll over . . .

I use to say that to Jim - to get him to stop snoring. Now I'm cheering on my son! At 12 weeks 1 day he rolled from his back to his front - twice! Pam said he'd been trying really hard, but she wasn't going to say until he'd actually done it. So I'm glad I got to see it.

According to AJ he had rolled from his front ot his back all the way back on the 4th . . . I still don't believe it - but whatever she needs to tell herself to feel better ;-)

Monday was Poop on Poppy day, there was no poop - but there was sleeping!

A weekend of firsts

First Valentine's Day - can you believe all these presents?







First trip downtown! We did story time at the library, ate lunch at Cadillac Ranch, and visited the square. Mommy was so proud that I sat enthralled during story time . . . at least for the first 3 books.




I left the state today! We went to this cool restaurant in Kentucky for Kelly's birthday. The ceiling here was way cooler than at Poppy's!









You may say using a Bumbo is cheating at sitting up, but I would have to disagree, the view is pretty good from up here!

Happy Valentine's Day - 2008

We did a little Valentine's photo shoot tonight - JT is a fabulous model. I made my own studio with fabric, a garage clip light, and the free tripod that came with our old video camera. Reaffirms that I need an external flash - it makes for much better pictures. I took over 600 pictures, the cream of the crop are in the 3 month group on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/catsmine/sets/72157603802184326/

I think I like them better than the ones we took at Sears!

Loyal readers may recall "Save the Drama for Your Mama" the drama returned last night. Kinda - Charlie caught the cat outside our window and had a few things to say. Luckily the dogs didn't chime it so JT was able to sleep through it. No matter how many times I kicked Charlie off the chair he kept coming back. Even though the cat left shortly after this began Charlie talked for some time . . .

There's a mama in there somewhere

It's a little dark, but you can hear that JT has a lot to say!

I'm ready for my close-up

The infamously expensive Sears photos are back. They turned out better than I thought. Although he's so darn cute how could they not!

The rest are in his 3 month folder on Flickr.

I went out with Mom, AJ, and Amy tonight. As I was changing JT in the front window of a jewelry store (hidden behind the grandfather clocks) I had to think . . . it use to be, what's the weirdest place you've ever had sex. Now it's what's the weirdest place you've ever changed a diaper?

Some people have a family tree . . .

We have the family arm. Reading the arm top to bottom . . .

- the rose is for mom

- the mask looking thing is the Tahoe boat symbol which serves for a T for Tony, Thomas, Tahoe for skiing, and his boat

- the eyes are Amy and I - brown and blue

- the gun is for dad

- the footprint is JT

what happens if I have like 8 kids?
