Developmental Milestones Galore

I really should be working and getting caught back up, but I really just want to be blogging.  I haven’t written anything in over a week and it is about to drive me nuts.  I didn’t realize just how much I missed it until today when I actually sat down in front of a computer again.  So, I figured I could just write something short and sweet and get it out of my system for a little bit.  Plus, I really wanted to share some exciting new developments.

Zachary turned 6 months old yesterday.  Can you believe it?  Half a year has already raced by.  I just cannot believe how quickly the time goes when you have children.  Three days before he hit that 6-month mark (Friday) he said his first word, which of course was "dada".  His daddy was awfully proud but I had to bring him down a little when I told him that most babies do say that first and that Zach most likely has no idea what it actually means.  It is still pretty exciting anyway.  Then, on Christmas Eve as we were sitting in church I discovered that he has two little teeth just about ready to pop through the gums.  My boobs are definitely not looking forward to the teeth, but I am looking forward to him being able to eat some real food (that baby food is expensive!) once he gets a couple more teeth in.  Also, he is really close to being able to sit up by himself.  As long as he has a toy or something he is interested in he will sit up.  If he doesn’t have a distraction, he flops right over.  It is kind of funny to watch.

Anyway, there is my baby update.  I was just dying to get that out.  Now that you all have been informed, I will go back to work.  Hopefully tomorrow I will have pictures.

I'm back!

We survived the trip and the holidays and now are trying to get back into our regular routine.  We had a great time in Louisiana.  I have TONS to write about, but it will have to wait until later.  Right now, I must try to get myself caught up at work.

On the Road Again

By the time this posts (if my delayed posting works) I should be well on my way to the glorious state of Louisiana.  I am actually looking forward to seeing my in-laws and having a little time away from here to relax for a few days.  If nothing else, Zach will have tons of attention and I’ll get a little bit of a break from the Mommy must be holding me at all times or I will scream phase that he is currently going through.  I’m sure Granny will make a fine substitute for at least a little while.  Plus, I may even be able to hand him off and go back to bed if I’m really lucky.  Well, it’s a nice thought anyway.

What I’m definitely not looking forward to is not having my wireless network or even a dial-up internet connection while I’m gone.  I tried looking up an access number for my ISP lastnight and the closest number is still long distance from my brother-in-law’s house.  They do have DSL, so I can get on the internet, but I can’t hook up my laptop to it (where I can surf and blog privately) unless they agree to let me unhook their computer and hook mine up.  Hopefully they will be understanding.  I may be forced to blog only on my other web site until I get back as this one is semi-private (as in NO FAMILY allowed).  I don’t think I realized how much my life revolves around the internet until I was faced with the fact that I may not have it for an entire week.

I guess the whole point of this is, I will most likely be MIA for at least the next week, and probably won’t be back until after Christmas unless I get really lucky or find a wireless connection I can hook up to somewhere.  So, I want to wish all of my wonderful readers a very happy holiday season, whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or other special holiday.  Take time to appreciate your family and friends and make it special this year.  And, rest assured, I will return with lots of cute baby pictures after Christmas!

in only one short year. Happy 1st Birthday Ryan! I cannot believe you are already a whole entire year old. I hope that someday you will know how much joy you have brought into the lives of our whole family. I can still remember the day your mama told me she was pregnant with you. We were all so excited. I really look forward to watching you grow up and hope that you will always know just how much your Aunt loves you.

My Precious…

This baby is FINALLY mine!  I’ve been wanting one for a while and my phone has been really crappy lately.  So, hubby decided that for my Christmas present (which we were not supposed to buy this year) he wanted to get this for me.  It should arrive Friday and I’m really hoping that it will get here before we leave for Louisiana or I will be one very sad girl.
