6 Months.....where did you go?

    Yesterday My Trace turned 6months old! Holy heck how did he get that old? He's growing so fast and gettting so big! He had to get his shots yesterday as well ,a necessary evil. Poor guy was so happy to see everyone at the doctor's office, I knew it would be short lived once they stuck him. The Doctor said that he seemed to be doing very well , and is very advanced in his motor skills and should be crawling anyday now. Dr. Youngblood also said to start stage 2 foods, and that since he was such a good eater that if he wanted 3 meals a day of baby food to let him have it. I told her that is what we had been doing because he gets mad if your eating. He's a hungry baby! She said to wait and do meat at 8mths and his food can start to get a little chunker, and at 9mths he can start to have some table food and cheerios ( things like that.) Last night he had mac and cheese w/ veggies and homemade mashed potatoes. She also said that he could have freshed mashed banana's, mashed potatoes, and avocado. So Last night I thought he should get a treat for having to get those nasty shots. He loved the potatoes and mac and cheese ,he ate them all.

    We have been having trouble at night this week with him leaking through the top of his diaper and waking up soaked. It just started this week and same diapers and everything. I did try a different diaper last night to see and it still leaked. I even changed him right before I layed him down. He lays on his belly and I always make sure his tallywacker is pointed down. So I don't know what the problem is ,but i'm tired of changing his pj's in the middle of the night.So at the moment I'm lost on what to do to keep him dry.

Happy boy right before my shots

Trying to figure out this crawling thing

Trying to get to mommy and daddy

I hate Thursday's,because i'll have to rush home and get everything done. Trace has to be in bed by 8,dinner has to be fixed,diaper bag packed,and the list goes on. Wayne will be in class so no help there, and we are suppose to be having some severe weather today...Just great!! I can't be getting my stuff done if i'm in the closet with a baby,oh and the dog!!! Hopeful it will all be fine. The electricity better stay on because Grey's anatomy comes on, and I must watch!!

It is here at last !!!!

     Finally Friday! A day that most people look forward to,I know I do. It is two days that I spend with my family away from work!!! Don't get me wrong I enjoy working and only working 3 days a week is nice, but I must say I rather be with my boy's. Those two days go by faster then anything , and it's Monday before we know it. We are going to my parent's house this weekend. We have not been down in a few weeks, and thought we would go this weekend since the weather is suppose to be nice. So hopeful we will have a good weekend.
    I'm ready to cuddle with my Trace. Last night I didn't get to see him much,because of Thursday nights when I get off work I pick Trace up from a friend's house. Wayne has class on Thursday night's and we need someone to watch him for a hour or so until I get off work and they live just down the block. So they were kind enough to watch Trace(very thankful that they do). Then after picking him up I have to run home and feed him, give him a bath, put his pj's on all before 8 and I get off at 7. Then after he goes to sleep I still have to wash bottles,let the dog out,fix lunch for the next day to take to work, cook if I have time, fix Trace's diaper bag for the next day, and then of course I have to watch Grey's anatomy. Ugh I hate Thursday nights I have to rush rush to get everything done and I have no time to spend with my little guy!!! Yet that is just how it is and I must push on for the time being.

Bring on Spring .....but Trace please slow down

     I'm so ready for spring,it can not get here fast enough!!! Yet the one thing i'm not ready for is my little guy getting any bigger then what he already is!! Trace is growing way to fast, he has 3 teeth and he sets by himself and acts like he wants to crawl .

Ok So I egg on the crawling, but I truely wish he would slow down a little. He will be 6 mths old the 23rd that's next Wednesday. Were has all the time gone???

He has gone from the Little bitty baby (he was a big boy but he was little to me ) to my Big boy :(  Time sure does fly!!!

He is always learning something new and I'm amazed by him everyday. I can't remember life without him, Me and Wayne Thank God for him everyday!!

He has mastered eating baby food and loves it. He is so funny to watch. He's a fast learned, he try to grab your drink and will put it up to his mouth and he will try to grab food off your plate. At night he turns circles in his crib and sleeps with his cute little butt in the air,but durning the day know matter what you do he will not put his butt in the air LOL!!

But all in all it's just the joy's of motherhood!!!

          

Valentine's day!!!!!

                             Happy Valentine's Day 2011

                                        

    Well the day started off great Trace slept in his crib all night and didn't wake up at all!!! ( YAY Trace). We had a great Weekend!!!! Nana and Papaw came and stayed the day with Trace while me and Wayne went and enjoyed the horse races with some friends!!!! I think Nana and Papaw really enjoyed little man this weekend!!! We also enjoyed Dinner with Joey and Wayne tryed sushi for the first time!!! Sunday we went to early church service and came home and relaxed for a little while. Then that Afternoon we took Trace around the block in his wagon since the weather was great, and he loved it. Trace loves to be outside so I can't wait till this summer when we can be outside alot more.Then Kevin and Leah came over, after they picked up there new puppy, they brought Trace his valentine's from them, A puppy that sings and a cute frog book!!! They are both so sweet to him!!! Nana and papaw also gave Trace his Valentine's and he got 3 cute burp clothes, one has heartbreaker,ABC, and Endsley. He also got a puppy that holds a blanket,and he got some bananas( He loves bananas).Then last night I gave Trace and Wayne there Valentine's , Me and Trace got Wayne candy and Trace got a new Tag blanket. I was promised a spa day in the very near future from the boy's. Just having both my boy's is good enough for me!!!

Going Crazy......but only at night

       The weekend is over once again and it's time to start another week. We had a good weekend,with just Wayne ,Trace,and I. We were very lazy on Saturday and just laid around and watched T.V and played with Trace! Saturday night we went to a Party were one of my co-workers reveled the sex of her baby!! (She's having a girl) It was fun to get out of the house.Trace had to come with us but of course he was his happy self!! Then Sunday afternoon we went to a friends house to watch the Superbowl !! So that was are lazy ,good,boring weekend!!!!

        My Trace is still giving me problem's at night and it's making me crazy!!! How can a Baby be the perfect sleeper turn in to this monster!!!Its the same thing that's been happening the last few weeks!!! I think I'm going to take a friend's advice that she gave me and try a new approach with a clear head. I don't have to work the next two days so maybe I can break him of this horrible habit in the next two days!!!! I'll let everyone know how it goes!!! Fingers crossed !!!

            I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)

Snow! Snow! Snow!

          A Four letter word that will make people go crazy when heard in Arkansas!!! By 7 o'clock this morning all the major school districts in the central area were closed and it had not even started to snow yet!!! Well it has started to snow now and were suppose to get 1-2 inches but whose knows we could get a dusting we could get a foot,that's Arkansas weather for ya :) !!!! I was told this morning  when I dropped Trace off that they would be closing early but didn't know when!!! Wayne always gets to get off work so not fair!!! I will admit it is pretty as I watch it fall from my office window!!! Days like these are to be spent at home snuggled up under warm blankets and drinking hot cocoa !!!But of course that is only in my dreams!!!!
