Welcome Home - Achoo!

I eventually made it home very early Friday morning. We were all tired on Friday.

Jim has been sick and JT's got it. He slept a lot this morning and when we checked his temp this morning it was 101.2 and he's stuffed-up and coughing. We've given him meds and I've got him lathered with baby vics and sprayed with saline drops. His temp is down, but he's still pretty congested. Poor little guy is very tired but not interested in sleep this afternoon. He is however interested in his Daddy's new tv. I typically keep him away from the television, but it seems to distract him from the fact that he can't really breathe through his nose, so I guess I'll make an exception today.

In another note - I've added JT's digital scrapbook to the very bottom of this page - you can see I've got a whole 10 pages done - none of which actually include him "on the outside". I've got a list of pages I want to get done and we'll get there eventually . . .

Grrrr

Ever heard that you shouldn't get between a mother and her cub? Apparently Delta hasn't. We were on a 5:20 flight, that got pushed to 5:55, which is now 6:05 - as long as I get home, that's all that matters . . . but I'm getting angry - you won't like me when I'm angry.

My first work trip since Tooters . . . I don't like it. I miss him horridly.

Although the bed was comfy I had to get up at 5 so there wasn't even enough sleep to make up for it . . .

HAHAHAHAHA

Guess what today is . . . POOP ON POPPY DAY!!

And POPPY GOT POOPED ON!!!

I guess when you sell your soul to the devil the deals have expiration dates

(here's his "poop face from the 2 month pics at Sears - it still pretty much looks like this, but he gets a little more red and there's fantastic grunting involved)

Catching Up . . .

So here's what we've been up to this week . . .

We went swimming for the first time. JT loves the water and really likes watching the other kids.

We started cereal again - while it's going a little better this time we're still having issues making our mouth.

We made friends and got an exersaucer!

(Jacob is demonstrating the teething benefits of the exersaucer)

We had our first Easter! JT got some goodies left in his basket, but the Easter Bunny seems to have forgotten the one thing we asked for . . . chocolate formula!

Somebody tell Tata that's JT's basket!

Poop on POPPY!

Mondays are Poop on Poppy day - the day dad watched JT. For about 8 weeks now JT has not pooped on Poppy! Last Monday I took him to lunch with my boss and he pooped on my watch. This morning I rolled over in bed and looked at him in the bassinet. He gave me a big smile and told him it was Poop on Poppy day! The smile left his face, he began grunting and he pooped!

What deal did my dad make with the devil?

Pants in a Pinch

What a great idea - but at $19.95 each, how do you get them back into the little capsule?

And even more smiles . . .

New Toys!

I've had time to play with my video editing software - fun! Here's one to make you smile.

Welcome to Motherhood, let the guilt begin

I saw a card that said that once, oh how true it is. Just last night I was convinced that I broke JT, possibly scarred him permanently, and messed up what could have been a good night of sleep.

I feel asleep very early Monday night - didn't cut his nails . . . he can now only play the role of the villain in James Bond movies.

Yes mother - I cut his nails last night!

JT has been really big on standing lately and is pretty good at it when you prop him up on something. I did so and then missed him as he fell to the floor with a thud. He screamed for 5 minutes before we realized it was also time for him to eat. He was fine after we fed him, but I was left trying to make sure his eyes were still dilating.

As for the sleep - I let him sleep through his last bottle, he was then up at 2, 4, and 6 - I'm really really tired.

Oh and we weighed him on Sunday, we're up to 17 pounds.
