Timmy's 12 Month Checkup and Shots

Timmy had his 12 month checkup today. He is doing great. He weighed in at 19lbs. and is 30inches long. The pic below is after he got his shots.

"Can I please stick this tongue depressor where the sun don't shine on that nurse?"

Scot and I are sure that is what he was thinking...lol.

Timmy's 1st Birthday

Timmy's 1st Birthday was today. At this time last year it was Mother's Day. He is my Mother's Day Boy. He is such a sweet boy. He had such a great birthday today with his family and friends. The pics below are just a couple of pics from his birthday party. There will be more pics to come. Enjoy!

Video of Timmy Walking

Hi everyone! Here's a video of Timmy walking. I don't know how to put music or anything to it so you are going to just be hearing us on the video. Enjoy!

1st Step

Timmy took his first step yesterday. He did it a couple of times. It was only one step then down he went to crawl but he is trying so it won't be long before he is walking and running. Scot says, "then it will really be game on". I will be chasing him even more than I am now I'm sure. I sure am loving watching him exploring and trying things. I will try to get some pics, or even video footage (if I can figure out how to post it), of him walking and post it. Have a great day!

Bounce, bounce, bounce

Timmy has always liked playing with balls. Up until recently all the ones he has had have been small. We decided to get him a big bouncy ball and he loves it. Every time we put him down to play it's the first thing he goes for. Check out the pic below:

"Look what my Dada got for me. It's my favorite toy."

The cutest little boy in the world

Scot snapped this the other evening while I was feeding Timmy. He has the cutest smile and looking just like his Dada....lol.

"Hey Dada! I know I'm cute so go ahead and take the picture."

How are things in Mommy Land?

I get asked this question a lot and thought I'd blog about it. For the most part I love being a stay at home mom. There are times when I could climb the walls also. Up until I got married then pregnant I worked. I worked for the State of NC for about 16 years or so. When I wasn't working that job I had other part time jobs that I worked. So for someone that was used to staying busy all the time being a stay at home mom has had its frustrating moments. Not that I would trade it for anything else. I don't want anyone raising my children except me and Scot. There are too many kids out there that are being raised by everyone else but the parents and that's not how it should be. I may miss being busy working all the time and being on the go constantly but I'd rather miss it than have my child raised by someone other than me. So here in "Mommy Land" it's me and Timmy hanging out, playing, reading, and watching Handy Manny, Yo Gaba Gaba, and things of that nature. We get out on occasion but for the most part stay home. Timmy is a much happier little boy if he sticks to a routine. I'm sure that will go bye bye this summer as we will probably be more active and going more places. So probably the biggest thing I miss is adult conversation. You moms that stay home know how that feels. Other than that things are good. Timmy is a very active boy who keeps me on my toes so it makes it hard for me to get anything else done because I'm chasing him around all the time. I know what you are thinking too. Why doesn't she put him in a play pen? Yeah, right, tried that and it didn't work. I'd rather it be peaceful than to have to hear him screaming constantly. Yeah, that's what he does when he's in the play pen. If I had put him in it as an infant he'd probably like it. My bad. Now I know and I won't make that mistake with the next child should we have another one. We are still talking about that. You learn as you go but all you moms know that already. Anyhow, now the question has been answered. Have a great day! :-)

We've been told....

We've been told that we should rename this blog to "Timmy's Blog". I laughed when I heard that. I know we blog about Timmy for the most part. Everything that is a first for him is a first for us and we love to share it with you all. Especially our families that live so far away. So what do you think? Do you think we should rename the blog to "Timmy's Blog" or just leave it as it is? I'm sure we will probably keep it as it is but I thought it would be fun to see what you all thought.

Any Suggestions?

Because of Timmy's teething he has been biting us a lot. No matter what we've tried to get him to stop he still bites. If any of you have any suggestions of things to try please let us know. Thanks!
