Happy new year's ever - we're all sick. It's worst on baby Jesse - so, we've set up some implements of comfort for him in the living room. There's a humidifier my parents got for him, the ever handy snot sucker, and, of course, something to distract him with that is dual purpose - soft AND distracting. Of course, on the other side of this there is a pile of diapers and a container of wipes, as well as kleenexes.
LOL Title is sort of pun-ish - "dirty birdie" is actually a texture mask I used when I was playing with this picture. Kind of goofy, I know...
Except for the place where my nose drains into my mouth, this stuff has healed me (temporarily). NOTHING is helping that one place, though... LOL
We got this set of baby books for Jesse's first Christmas - got all three from eBay (as a set) for about $5 including shipping. There are others that are a part of this series. I'd like to get the ABC and 123 versions, but I'm not paying $15 or more p/boardbook - they're not that big!
Happy birthday to me! I can't believe I'm 31 already. Boo.
My FAVORITE movie during the holidays - we watch it at least 100 times. LOL It's probably in my top five all time favorite movie list.
...yep! Thank goodness for this mobile! The only thing I don't like about it is having to wind it so often. That annoys me for TWO reasons: the first is just the inconvenience, the second is that if Jesse IS almost asleep and you have to rewind it, the winding is so loud and it wakes him back up. LOL But, he LOVES this and it's often the only solution when he's fussy and nothing else works to calm him down.
Another gift from Beck Beck - this is just what we asked for! I can't believe how colorful it is... It's the fisher price precious planet (I think) playmat. We wanted it for Jesse to do tummy time on - that was our MAIN purpose (because of random dog hair in the house), but it's also turned into a changing mat. ROFLMAO
This was one of Jesse's gifts from Beck Beck - a big 'ol, amazingly fluffy, stuffed Winnie the Pooh that has a velcro strap across his belly and when you un-velcro it the Pooh turns into a big, sort of square pillow. I love it - it's SOOO soft!
...one of the first toys we bought for Jesse. We got this when I was about 6 months pregnant. We found it randomly at Wal-Mart. For Christmas, we got him the other two that go with it - Eeyore and Pooh. I don't think there is a Piglet but I could be wrong. It'd be neat to get that for him at some point if they make one - he really likes these stuffed animals because they have rattles in them and the blanket is really textured - he especially likes them when Daddy shakes them above him during a diaper change or when I'm dressing him after a bath.
This is actually an electric heater that operates by heating some sort of oil and dispersing it in this radiator type thing. My Dad gave it to us. Thank goodness for it - sometimes the weather gets so cold that our heat pump just can't...well, heat. LOL I know that sounds weird and crazy but it's true.
Such a cute outfit Jesse got from his grandmother! It was almost too little, though you almost can't tell it from the photo. I did have to unbutton the top button, and the pants were pretty tight. LOL =)
...and our best friend, JR. A family couldn't ask for a better friend. In fact, he IS family. Jesse is so blessed to have a spiritual teacher and friend like JR in his life, as are we all...
Funny how being around babies takes one back to the carefree feeling of childhood - even a big guy like my Daddy turns to complete mush and rolls around on the floor when he'd otherwise be unable to do so. LOL So sweet.
It's a Scrappy nose!
An old friend of mine (Angie) gave me this box for my birthday a few years ago (3 to be exact - my 28th birthday). It has the prettiest black velvet lining. She said the sun reminded her of me.
Found this guitar pick randomly placed in the "junk catcher" on top of the microwave the other day. Kind of made me want to play my guitar but I didn't want to risk waking a finally sleeping baby. LOL
Taken May 25, 2009 - almost 14 weeks pregnant. At this point, we knew we were pretty safe when it came to m/c possibilities (we'd had some in the past) and we started to breathe a little easier and get really excited at this point. When I saw this picture, even way back then, my first thought was, "He'll be here at Christmas - he's my Christmas present in the making." I got to watch my present grow for the whole year!
Another of Jesse's "first Christmas" ornaments. This is the one Jeremy and I got him just before he was born.
No one in my family is really a big fan of Auburn, but my Dad is die hard Alabama - so we put these AU ornaments on the tree just to piss him off. It worked. ROFL
This is what I live for. I am so happy! Jeremy, Jesse, Scrappy and Chloe...my little family.
First of all, sorry for spamming the site with so many photos at one time - but I had to catch up! It was driving me crazy to have taken photos but not having uploaded them!
He knew I was on my way home - I just KNOW that's why he's so alert here! LOL :-) Sweet boy!
