Sleepy Head Gives In...

What a day this has been! Things were off to a good start this morning. I was cleaning around the house and Price was playing with a new toy from Christmas. He was actually entertaining himself for the first time this week. All was as it should be. Then the blind spots started. Now, I used to get migraines all the time, so I knew all too well what this meant. But, I haven't had one in about 7 years so I was hoping I was wrong and maybe I just had something in my eye. Nope. Horrible sickness was soon upon me. Chance had to cancel all his appointments and come home. He was pretty far away so Stephanie came and took care of Price until he could get here. I will spare you the grusome details, but I was on my death bed for about 4 hours and am still feeling pretty weak and nauseous.

I should also mention that Price is teething, so he is a far cry from his normal happy go lucky self. This didn't help the situation at all. Not only does he have to be rocked to sleep, but evidently I am the only one who can do the job properly. Needless to say with me under the weather this afternoon he was having nothing to do with a nap. This made for one cranky kid! So, after trying with no luck to get him to take a nap, Chance finally stuck him in his high chair with a toast stick and left the kitchen for about 5 minutes. When he came back this is what he found...

It's such hard work being a baby. Eating that toast stick must have plum worn him out! And regarding the teething...is it normal for eye teeth to come in before the two front teeth? Because his are. He is going to look like a vampire!

Eight Months...Wow!

I cannot believe how quickly eight months can go by! I was thinking today that we are 2/3 finished with his first year. That seems crazy! It has been the best eight months of my life though. I love this kid more every day. He is such an amazing gift from God. We are truly blessed!

Then (1 month) & now. Where did the time go???

I hope he'll let me rock him to sleep at least until he starts high school :)

Just Hanging Out...

So, my grandma has the magic touch. All she has to do is hold Price and he's asleep within minutes. Here he is zonked out on his (most annoying) puppy. I'm sure the thing was turned off at the time, because there's no way anyone could go to sleep in the same room as it, even if my grandma was holding them! And this was the first little snow we've had this winter. Chance had to take him out in it, so I bundled him up as quickly as I could and they ran around the front yard. Yeah, I know this doesn't look like much if you live in Utah, but hey, this is Arkansas and we get excited when anything that resembles snow falls from the sky. Look at that talent! He's having a snack and doing his morning stretches...

We started taking big boy baths. That little tub just couldn't contain him anymore. He's so long! Anyway, he loves the tub and playing with his toys! Dad went crazy taking pictures and this is a few of them.

I LOVE these two pictures! He makes the silliest faces...

And I just thought I would say that I love the Boon Frog Pod! It is wonderful. It holds everything and makes for really easy clean-up of bathtub toys.
