Christmas Came Early For Timmy

Christmas came early for Timmy. Scot's family is down for a visit as you all should know by now if you have been keeping up with the blog. Anyhow, they brought lots of gifts for Timmy. The pictures below is of him opening one of the many gifts that were given to him. Enjoy!

"I had a good time opening my gifts. Thanks everyone for all my gifts! I love you!"

Scot's Family Arrived Today

It's 12:30am as I am writing this. Scot's family arrived earlier today. Timmy had just woke up when they arrived so I grabbed the camera and met them as they were coming up to the back deck with Timmy. Here are some pictures of Scot's family with Timmy:

Here's Nan with her grandson. She is so excited to see him.

Here's Nan, Popsie, and Elaine with Timmy.

7 Months Old

Timmy is 7 months old today. I thought I'd take some pictures for the occasion. He loves to play with his toys in his highchair. It's also the only place that the dogs won't get his toys. Enjoy the pictures!

"Not more pictures! Haven't you taken enough already?!"

What a face! We caught him in the middle of a laugh/scream.

"That orange light on the camera sure is interesting."

"I love toys that I can chew on. Thanks cousin Tristan for giving me this toy. I like it a lot!"

Monday Evening

Monday evening I was doing some paper work for our business and Timmy and his Daddy were having some play time together. After I was done with the paper work this is how I found Timmy:

Stages and Changes

I just wanted to take a moment and give you a picture review of how much Timmy has changed since he's been born.

This was taken right after he was born.

He's about a month old here.

He's three months old in this picture. This is one of our proofs from that photo session. I haven't had time to actually scan in the pictures.

This one was just taken for his 6 month picture and Christmas pictures.

Anyhow, that is an overview from birth to now. Enjoy looking at the pictures.

Explosive Diaper

OMW (oh my word), When Scot went to get Timmy out of his high chair this evening he thought he smelled something and did the butt smell test (you know the one all us moms do just before going somewhere) and was puzzled and asked me to smell and I didn't smell anything. But, when Scot turned him around facing my direction Timmy's shirt lifted some and then I saw it. There it was on his white onesie that he had on under his shirt. It was green and yucky. He had poohed big time and it went up his front. How gross!!!

This was our first experience with a blow out and the process of taking care of it was too funny. I wish that I had the camera handy so you could see how funny the clean up from it was. I'm glad that Scot was home when it happened b/c having to take care of it by myself would have been even more funny I'm sure.

Anyhow, I just had to share with all you moms and dads b/c I'm sure you understand and can imagine how it was.

HOORAY FOR SLEEP!!!

After giving Timmy some Infant Motrin last night he slept good!!! He and I got some much needed rest b/c there hasn't been much rest over the past four days with him cutting his first tooth. Even though I'm not a fan of giving meds it was such a blessing when I gave him the motrin and he slept. Praise God for motrin!

Timmy has had such a good day today after getting the rest he needed. I've had a good and productive day also b/c I got some much needed rest. I'm very excited about that.

Well I'm going to go and give Timmy a little snack (maybe some baby bananas) b/c he slept through lunch today and he will be eating his dinner in a little while.

Doctor Visit Yesterday and More

Timmy has been a bear for a few days now. We found out the day after Thanksgiving that my sister's son had strep throat which Timmy was exposed to on Thanksgiving Day. So because Timmy had been so fussy and pulling at his right ear I decided to take him to the doctor yesterday to make sure he didn't have strep and that he didn't have an ear infection. He doesn't have either. The fussiness we were experiencing was just from teething and the doctor confirmed that. He also said Timmy had a little bit of a cold so we are keeping an eye on that. The doctor also found some build up of wax in Timmy's right ear that we are using drops for in order to get it all cleaned out. All this at the same time that he is cutting a tooth. No wonder he was so fussy.

It's so exciting that Timmy cut his first tooth yesterday. It's not to where we can get a good picture of it yet but as soon as it is we'll post a picture. I just hate that he had to have so much happening at once:-(.

Anywho, just wanted to let you all know how eventful the last few days have been for me with Timmy. You hate to see them in pain and not be able to do anything to take it away. It's so sad:-(.

My Birthday

My birthday always falls around Thanksgiving. Having your birthday around Holiday time can be lots of fun or a real bummer. For me, most of the time it's lots of fun. This year was one of the best because I got to go see TSO in concert and I got a couple of movies on dvd that I've been wanting.

If there is one thing everyone knows about me that is that I am a movie person. I have lots of them. In fact, several of my friends call me "Lisa Buster". Movies are a gift that keeps on giving. When someone gives me a movie as a gift that is huge to me because I can enjoy it over and over again. Of course, that makes it easy to buy for me and hard all at the same time. Easy because movies, for the most part, are cheap and hard because I already have so many that it's hard to know what I don't have.

At any rate, I had a great birthday. I may not always get to celebrate it exactly on my birthday but that's ok. I understand that it's around a holiday so I make concessions. This year it was the TSO concert a few days before my birthday and a couple of dvd's that I've been wanting on my birthday.

Everyone has been asking did I do anything special on my birthday? Not really because I was busy getting my house in order for my family coming over on Thanksgiving. Some people when they hear that think what a bummer but it wasn't. I enjoyed getting everything ready for everyone coming over. I don't have to go all out on my birthday. I know that is how it is with some people but it's not that big of a deal for me. I consider myself very blessed to have gotten the movies I've been wanting and seeing TSO. Those two things were huge for me.
