Getting ready for the beach.......

     So at the end of next week we are headed to Flordia for a few days to stay with Danielle,Devin, and Jack! We are really excited, and we can't wait to see what Trace thinks of the beach!! This is are first long trip with Trace so i'm a little anxious to see how he will do. He usely loves the car and goes right to sleep but being in the car for 10hrs in along time so I hope he does well. SO Fingers Crossed. So yesterday we got a few things together, Trace has to have so much stuff to go most of the stuff will be his LOL! So we went to Oldnavy for I could get a few things to wear and we came across these and I knew we just had to have them cuz whats the beach without flip flops :)

                                                        There so little and cute

Those little feet that I love so much

So Trace will be looking good on the beach in his flip flops! I hope he doesn't eat much sand since everything goes straight to his mouth.

Spring

         We had a great weekend.The weather was perfect and we really enjoyed ourselves. We started the weekend by going out with some friends on Friday night,we went out to eat and then went bowling and got in at 11. Trace was his delightful self as always!! He ended up sleepling to almost 8 saturday morning since we didn't get into late! Saturday after we got up we went and got some flowers at lowe's to do some flower beds in the back yard. Thanks to Wayne and Curtis my backyard now has some color to it. We then went to the hospital and saw Wayne's grandmother she had a pacemaker placed last week and they let her go home sunday. Saturday night we just relaxed at home and watched a movie.Sunday we went early church service, and then desided to go to the Zoo. The day was great and we had alot of fun and this is how it went......

Spring forward.....

       Who ever thought that this was a good idea was sadly mistaken!! Don't get me wrong I love the Long afternoons but that is all I like,Losing a hour of sleep not so much!!!

        Well Trace is working on cutting two new teeth, and trying to crawl!!! He is growing so fast!

POOP!!!!

  Trace had the worst dirty diaper known to man last night.I was getting ready to change him and put him to bed. It had started to come out the sides of his diaper, so I took his pj's off and laid Trace on the couch. I started to take his diaper off and started gaging, now I have a strong Stomach so for me to gag it must of been awful. There was so much poop, how something that little can have so much poop is beyond me. So I started to clean him up to realize there is poop all over my couch. Trace had poop all up his back so when I took off his pj's it got everywhere!!! So yell for Wayne, there was no way diaper wipes were gonna clean this kid up it was time for plan B. I told him to turn on the shower and handed him Trace at arms distance, and jumped in the shower. Mommy washed all the poop away from the stinky baby. Well once the kid was clean and dressed once again for bed , I still had to tackle the couch that was covered in poop. Well I manged to get the couch clean and the baby to bed and in time to watch criminal minds. That was a diaper from hell, but at least it was before bed and not in the middle of the night. I wish not a poop like that on anyone!! Well everyone have a poopful day!!!

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!!!
