Super Mom Genes
I thought moms were supposed to have super genes that kept them protected from illness. Apparently I thought wrong. . . is it wrong to have Nyquil for dinner?
Monday
Mooom!
A horrid headache and a couple of presentations kept me up late last night. JT waking at 4 didn't help matters. He ended up in bed with us which wasn't necessarily restful. When he woke again and wanted to play I put him back into his crib and laid down on the floor begging for 10 more minutes.
His first response - to throw pacidog at me. He didn't really seem upset and kept playing so I closed my eyes again. Then I felt him hit me with something else . . . but he didn't have anything else in the crib. He'd taken off his pants and thrown them at me! He was starting no pants Monday with Poppy a little early and was in no mood to wait for me.

Sunday
What a week
Since my reading radius is only the tri-state area I'm sure everyone knows what the last week has been like. A week ago Sunday Hurricane Ike rolled through Cincy, bringing wind gusts up to 70 mph. Our power flickerd slightly but never went off. Mom and Dad lost power so they grabbed what was supposed to be dinner at their house and AJ and headed over. Little did we know we were facing the largest power outage in tri-state history. At one like over 90% of Duke customers were without power. Schools and businesses were closed, gas stations ran out of gas, groceries had to through inventory away - it was nuts.
We were some of the lucky few who had power the whole time and that left us as a haven for the rest of the family. It was a little crowded here Monday, but we made it out unscathed.
In the midst of the chaos JT took his first steps. Sunday night he went from me to Jim - 2 steps, unassisted. He's done this a few times now but seems to chicken out after that. At his last appointment Dr. Schroer recommended getting him a good pair of shoes to help the process. We headed out to Stride Ride today and got him measured for his "walkers". I'd been putting him in size 3s and 4s . . . he measured a 5 which means he should be in a 5 and a half. We asked if that was big for a 10 month old . . . the lady looked at us and said, "um, yeah." We picked out a cute pair of fancy gym shoes, plopped down $50 (yes, I said $50!) and walked out. We then went to Dillards and bought Jim 5 shirts for the same price as JT's shoes.
He seems to like them, especially the fact that it makes so much more noise when he kicks things - he is all boy.

Wednesday
Only 8 more months to go
I've been trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking, last night I managed to get 4 pages done. One month down, 8 more to go . . . I need to stop sleeping.
On a side note, we went to the doctor on Monday. If you remember from the last appointment in June JT was 28 1/4", 18.8 pds., and had a 17" head. This time he is 32", 23.2 pds., and has an 18" head. He's off the charts for height, 75th-90th for weight and 10th-25th for his head. His head doesn't look small, I'm guessing it'll catch up with him.
I've been trying to find a growth chart online that I can edit and post here but I've been unsuccessful. I'll keep you updated.
Oh - and GAJ . . . NOT YET!

Thursday
Figures . . .
Mom, Dad, and I took JT to Harvest Home Parade tonight. I was so excited for his first parade, I figured he'd be all over the people watching, seeing as he's so nosey. The first few minutes he watched the police cars and saw the runners and then promptly fell asleep as the first marching band passed by. He made it almost 15 minutes. He slept though sirens and motorcycles, clowns and politicians (wait, is there a difference?), dogs and horses, and even all the little Shriner cars.
Once the parade was over we packed up and headed home, JT still asleep. Until we hit the driveway, where he woke up, ready to play.
