Month in Review

Alright, so I have pretty much been away from this blog for a month now and I am starting to have serious blog withdrawals. I want to give you an idea of what has been going on lately. Instead of writing an insanely long blog, I will just make my review in pictures...with a few captions! Enjoy!

Big storms this month!

Jack getting tornado ready!

A lot of drool!

hee hee

I completly forgot that Brian and I have a laptop that is fully covered with spyware! Silly me! Alright, so new updates are on their way...don't worry, Jack's little face will be posted soon! I hope that everyone has a great week!

Just checking in

oh, I miss my blogging world. I always get so excited about checking my google account for new blog postings by others. I also love updating my blog. I have so many fun pictures to post and none of them with me. (remember...the computer is still down and I am having to use another computer far from home) Jack is rolling over and we are diligently practicing the word Mama! I gave Jack carrots yesterday and they ended up in both nostrils, eyes, hair, everywhere! Needless to say, he was more excited about playing with his food than eating it! He is rotten and I love every bit of him! Also, Brian and I will be going to the beach in May and it is all that I think about. I wake up each morning knowing that my toes will soon be emerged in sand. I look forward to sand being on Jack's toes. Another plus, I have actually started to think about teaching again. It has been a good seven months that I wanted nothing to do with work...not because I don't love to teach, I do, I just have had different thoughts lately...and I am pretty sure that things are starting to look a little brighter around here. Thank goodness! And trust me, I know that the sentence above is in no way grammatically correct, and this one may not be either...I am just happy to get a blog post up!
Pictures are soon to follow! I hope that everyone is enjoying April!

So Tragic

Our computer has a virus. I am posting this via my parent's house. We have to buy a spyware kit from the store to fix our computer. Knowing Brian and I, this could take several days. So, if you are missing all of my oh-so-exciting blog updates...don't fret, they will return soon! Until then, make sure your spyware is updated! If not, you may become a victim of this April Fools Day virus...no I'm not playing an April Fools on you, that is the name of the vicious virus. Be back soon!

Put a Bow on It!!!

Jack was born with a full head of dark hair. It was gorgeous. Somehow, he has managed to rub every last bit of it off. I had to lay a little satin blanket in his crib to help stop him from getting his hair matted. The only thing that remains is this patch of long hair right on the top of his head. It literally looks like a comb over when I brush it down. It is even too long to put it in a mohawk; it just falls over. It is the most adorable thing. I know that babies usually loose their hair after they are born, and Jack is no exception to this rule, but the long patch of hair on top of Jack's head is just too much fun. A lot of people tell us to cut it, but I just have a real problem cutting his four month old hair. I have always said that if he were a girl I would tie it up in a bow.....well, the other night...I did just that - minus the bow. These are pictures he will hate me for when he is in middle school. I just couldn't resist, though. I have been sick this past weekend, and I think the cold medicine started to take its toll, and Jack somehow ended up with a little pony tail!!
It's kind of hard to tell in the pictures, but if you look closely you will see his new do! And, of course, his hand is in his mouth!


It's like a little sumo wrestler! so much fun!
I promised him I wouldn't ever do that to him again!!!

A visit from Uncle Thomas

This weekend was a blast! My brother Thomas came into town for a visit with Jack. Thomas lives and works in Nashville, so it can be a while before we get to see each other. Luckily, Thomas was able to make some time in his busy schedule to make it home. Jack couldn't have been more excited! Jack was even given his very first set of drum sticks! Thanks, Thomas...we'll wait on the drum set though!
We were also able to make it down to Chris and Ginger's house for an evening of food and fun! Bronson and Jack are a month or so apart and it is so cute to see them together. I love a weekend with family. I don't think there is anything better.

Yummy!

My baby loves sweet potatoes! yes, I know it seems a little early, but the child is just tired of his bottle. I am in no way kidding you on this. I will go to give him a bottle and I know he's hungry, and he will flat out refuse to drink the thing! You should see the little dance and song I have to preform just to get his attention off of the fit he is having and direct his attention to the wonderful big bottle of food! It is really a mind boggling sight. Now, don't get me wrong, it doesn't happen at every feeding...but it's enough to make me reevaluate what's going on. So, instead of trying to fight him on his four o'clock bottle, I decided that sweet potatoes should do the trick. And, they did successfully. Because Jack has reflux, he has always had cereal in his bottles, this has also allowed me to mix up some thick, milkshake like bottles and feed him just cereal before. Feeding him with a spoon was not too much of a concern of mine. I just don't want my baby growing up so fast. It has become clear to me that he is really just bored with his little bottle. Bless his heart. So, we are extremely excited about the new experience of tasting a different kind of food! Yummy!
