One week in . . .

Well, I made it working 2 whole days this week. Tooters seems to be doing well at the sitter's and she can't stop saying how cute he is. Next week I work 3 days, the week after that 5 . . . ugh. Oh well, unless someone we know wins the lottery and gives us some it's off to work I go. At least I like my job!

So here's what's happened in the past week:

I only cried a little when I dropped him off the first day and not at all the second.

We had our first "professional" photo shoot (Sears) and the little booger didn't smile once. We did everything but stand on our heads and he was having none of it. In fact he pooped during the session. Yet we still walked out of there with our wallets empty. When I get the CD and can upload the pics I'll show you all.

We survived the dreaded two month doctor appointment with 4 shots. He screamed his little head off and then promptly shut up as soon as I placed a bottle in his mouth. He's 13 pds. 13 oz. and 24.25 inches long - off the charts for both height and weight. At the end of February we start spoon feeding him rice cereal. The dogs will love cleaning that up.

My father, our Monday sitter, believes he and JT have a "no poop Mondays" agreement. Considering we're still working out the constipation issues, he may have something - but my money is on JT.

Jim and JT have begun communicating. It is adorable and it I can get it on tape I will share. They sit and "talk," carrying on a full conversation. I compare it to the sound of whales they have on those nature CDs, but JT loves it! He smiles and laughs and pauses to let Jim respond.

Tomorrow we're getting a second car (as my DH would be quick to point out, we currently have a car and a truck). It's Nan's Corolla, the family has been nice enough to give it to us so we have 2 cars that can have car seats. We had a little work done on it as soon as I start back full time we'll be taking turns with the JT drop-off.

When you have a second look through the Kaboodle list - I keep finding the best stuff! Feel free to express your grattitude for my humor by showering us both with gifts! :-)
