This is how Timmy wanted to wear his diaper today 🙂

The important part is Timmy is ok and we were only there for one night. But it was the scariest mommy moments for me.

He fell head first off the side off the couch. 30 minutes later he was throwing up. We took him to St. Mary’s and his CT scan came back normal but he was still throwing up so they kept him overnight for observation. Poor baby had blood drawn and IV fluids. It was so sad but he was such a good boy. He went to bed in the cage like crib just like we were at home. They woke him every 3 hours to check his eyes. I’m just now recuperating from sleeping on that pull out “bed.”

Me and Tim get so excited over every new thing that Timmy does. Last night he ate his dinner with an adult fork and actually forked the food himself. Of course we broke out the video camera. I wonder if all parents are like this or if we are a little over the top. We were listening for birds this morning and Timmy said, “Did you hear that?” Other sentences he’s started saying are, “Where did it go!” And “What are you doing?” He tells the dogs to go lay down and says see you later. I get so much joy from watching him grow up. Yesterday he was in the front yard and went over to the flower pinwheel and got so excited making it go around. I took my camera out again.

I had my 30 week appointment yesterday and Grace is head down and measuring perfect. I can feel her every move and tell you what body part just jumped across my belly. It’s so weird. This pregnancy has been so much better than the first. No swelling, no high blood pressure. We will get our csection date next week. I don’t feel very prepared but at the same time I’m very calm. With Timmy I wanted the nursery just right and all the clothes hung. But I know now that she won’t be using her room for at least 6 months and laundry is never complete so no rush there either. Her play pen came in the mail along with LOTS of clothes. She’s going to be very stylish.

Timmy was running a low grade fever for 2 days and on the third it was 102 so I took him to the doctor. My poor boy has an ear infection. Sick babies are a lot of work but I haven’t gotten this many snuggles since he was a newborn. I think I’ve watched Toy Story 10 times in the last 4 days. All he wants to do is sleep on me. It’s so sweet.

So I asked Tim to watch Timmy so I could shower. Ten minutes later I come out to a naked boy and five piles of baby poop and pee everywhere. What a mess. May be time to start potty training.

I bought Timmy a big boy toothbrush last week and he is totally into it. When I ask him if he wants to brush his teeth he runs to the bathroom and shows me his teeth. It’s so cute to see him do it or attempt to do it all by himself.

Timmy and Madison playing with race cars. I think he is finally out of the stage of pulling out whiskers and pulling on tails. Hopefully they can start playing together more.

Yesterday we went to a small water park. It was just perfect for us. It had a lazy river for us big kids and a water playground for Timmy. My dad came and relaxed in the lounge chairs where he could see Timmy going up and down the water slide. This kid is such a dare devil. He could not get enough of these slides and all the kids going down them had to be twice his size. He was wearing my poor brother out. The smile on his face when he hit the water at the bottom of the slide was priceless. Then we all went on the lazy river. He loved that too. It’s so nice to have such a fun easy going little boy so that we can all have a good time. He’s happy no matter what we are doing. I’m so glad my family came, it was such a great day.

We were just sitting on the couch listening to the birds and he fell asleep. It’s been a long time since he fell asleep on me especially since its not nap time. Miss Grace is up and kicking tho 🙂

These days Timmy is very, very busy. If he’s not climbing the couches and running back and forth on them giving me a heart attack, then he’s probably going through the spice cabinet. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to child proof a lazy susan cabinet. So instead of spending the day saying no more than breathing I got him dressed and we were out of the house by 9am.

We went to story time at the library first. He loves it. The music shakers and the scarves, freeze dancing and bubbles – all his favorite things. Sharing is a big obstacle right now. He kept taking everyone’s shaker and then he went into someone’s purse and took out their cell phone. I’m pretty sure everyone was giving me dirty looks but I’m at that point in this pregnancy where getting up off the floor is a big production so I let him do his thing.

Then we went to swim lessons. He amazes me. Today the teacher used him to show other people how she can throw him in the air into a summer sault and he will come up floating. And he did it! He didn’t even cry, you would think that would be scary for a baby.

After his nap we played with blocks. He’s really good at putting them together now. Then he played baseball. I got it on video. He puts his own ball on the tee, hits it and starts again.

Everyday is busier than the last maybe because he’s getting more energy and little Miss Grace is taking all of my energy away. But every night when I put him into bed, not even 5 minutes goes by and I start to miss him and can’t wait for the next day to start 🙂
