Just Pictures....

I didn't get the chance to take any pictures today of my sweet boy. We had a busy day since it was Seth's last day home with us before he goes back to work. We hung out with him instead and went out to eat together in Chickasha. It was nice to get to be together as a family. We don't get to always spend tons of time doing things together because of Seth's crazy schedule.

This week has been a full one for Talent. He has gotten to spend some quality time with people that we love and I know he will once he is old enough to realize just how wonderful they are. We went Monday and had lunch with my father in law and also went to visit my Mom at her office. And Monday night we went and saw my Mammaw & Pawpaw because they came home early from Texas....they missed me that much. (I am their favorite!) Then Tuesday we went to the doctor and had my Daddy tag along with us to help me. After that we went to see my mother in law so she could see Talent before she left to go on her girls trip to a casino somewhere in Oklahoma. Yesterday we loaded up one more time and went out to the lake to see my sweet Uncle Joe. That man loves me and I never in a million years would have believed he would love my baby as much as he does.....but he does. He sent me a message on my phone late last night telling me he was glad we came out and that it made his day. I am so glad that Talent is so loved. All of these people love seeing my kid and they love getting to spend time with him. I just am so thankful he has such wonderful people in his life. I know he will never be without love.

Anyway, here are some pictures that I took last week and the week before. I thought I'd post them since I didn't get the chance to take any pictures today. Enjoy!

A growing boy!

So yesterday we had Talent's 6 month check up. I can't believe how much he has grown. He weighed 18lbs 11oz and was 29 inches long.....which means he's too long for his current car seat! It's time for a big boy seat! I can't believe we are already to a new car seat! My doctor said he's in the 75 to 80 percentile of his age range. And he also said that he's growing and absolutely perfect! Talent got to see Stacie, the doctor who did my c-section, and he just flirted like a little player! He's just too cute and funny! He flirted with all the nurses and showed off just how well he was sitting up. He did get a little bit cranky and was getting tired by the time it was time for shots. He's been running a fever today because of the shots but all in all he's doing pretty good.

I love being a mommy. He's the sweetest thing ever and I love waking up to hear his little giggles and see his little smiles. Yesterday Seth and I were outside sitting on the patio with him and our dogs were wrestling and playing. Talent thought that was just the most hilarious thing ever. He sat in Seth's lap and just cackled! That sound really makes my heart melt. I just love this child. Anyway, I will be attempting to take some pictures of him tomorrow if he will cooperate. I will post them as soon as I get them done!

All better!

Well after two very long weeks, and 10 full days of antibiotics, Talent is finally well. I am so glad to finally have my healthy & happy baby boy back!

This week we have had a trying week because Seth has been putting a metal roof on our house with the help of some friends and family. Heck I even chipped in one day. It has been a long week with lots of banging noises....we are looking forward to a few days of quiet. During the process of the roof getting put on Talent has gotten to see lots of people. He was able to see all of his grandparents, his Aunt Boo, Brendon & Trista and their boys, and he even got to see his Mammaw and Pawpaw before they left to go see his new cousin, Jackson. He has had a full week of being loved on and spoiled. He's enjoyed it though.

Next week we go back to the doctor for his 6 month check up. So we'll see how much he's grown and where we go from here. I can't believe how big he's getting. This sitting up thing is just the beginning of the craziness that is about to be my life.....and I can't wait!

Until next time.....

The last 6 months....

Okay so I thought I would do the last 6 months "in pictures"....

Now I realize I've done this type thing before. It's fun to look back and see how much he's changed. I did include a picture of my brother in law, Chase, in this round of photos. If he ever finds out about it, I'm dead meat! Oh well. I want him to be included in the fun of being part of Talent's life. He lives about 25 minutes away and doesn't get to see T very often. So when I was given the oppurtunity to snap this picture I took it. I was allowed ONE picture and he made me promise not to put it on facebook.....this isn't facebook, right???

Anyway.....here's to another fun 6 months ahead!

Sick Baby!

Well this weekend has been a tiring one. Seth has been sick all weekend. He has been running a low grade fever and sneezing his head off. He's had congestion, runny nose, and a cough. He's been miserable. This morning Talent woke up with it. He couldn't breathe through his tiny little nose. I got up, called my Mom, and got around. Mom came and got me and we took Talent in to get him check out. My poor little guy has an upper respritory infection. There isn't really anything they can do for it. They said to watch him and make sure his fever stays below 101 because he could easily get an ear infection. He has felt so bad today. Mom took him for a little while so I could get a little rest since I haven't gotten much the last few days and I'm so exhausted. When I picked him up he had watery eyes and his poor little nose was running. He will probably have to sleep with me in the chair tonight because every time you lay him down he can't breathe. I hate it. I feel helpless. So tonight will probably be a long one.....

On an unrelated note...he's growing like a weed. Today when we took him in he weighed 18 lbs 3.5 oz. They didn't measure him to see how long he was but I know he's grown since the last time we were there. I'm going to talk Seth into measuring him in a few days. I can't believe how big he's getting. The doctor gave me the okay to start solids. He said he's pretty positive that the eczema/rash he has is not a food allergy. So we're going full force into the food now.....we already were trudging along but now we can try more things. I know Talent will be excited...he likes to eat! He wants to take my silverware when I'm eating. He's so fun.

Anyway, here's a sneak peek from our photo session with Ashley's husband JJay. She was unable to do it because of an injury to her back so her husband came out and took pics of us. These are the only ones we have so far....I'm already in love!

My beautiful boy!
