Blog Virgin

Ok, so here I am, creating my very own blog. Not exactly sure why, I guess that this is a time where peer pressure really did prevail. Plus I got one of those things on Facebook that wanted votes to vote against FB becoming not free. Probably a scam, but I love being connected with people from my past and present, so I don't want to risk it.........
Not sure how to start this up, do I just jump in as if I have always had one? Do I introduce myself and my family? Awkward.

So, I got this idea from Caitlin. I think its genius! So I am going to steal it. I don't think she will mind.......Mostly because I have admitted that she is a genius. That counts for something right? It makes up for my inability to be have my own ideas.....anyway...

Today I was sweetly in my best 1950's sitcom mom voice asking Max to put away some toys before he got new ones out. Well, he didn't appreciate my gentle reminders. So he sighed a throaty noisy sigh then said......"Daddy, mommy is driving me nuts!"
What could I do? I was in stitches! Yeah, he probably shouldn't say things like that, but he was clearly annoyed, and I think he handled it ok. What would you do if your 3 year old said that?

I got home from the gym and Max greeted me at the door and said: "Mommy did you have fun? Did you have fun at, at the gym?"
I asked Matthew if he told Max where I was, and he didn't. I guess the little fella is just smarter than I realized. Not that I didn't think he was smart, its just that you never know when they are paying attention to what you are talkin about!

So, I can't be sarcastic or overly clever with the things that Sam does................yet.

Today was an exciting day in the life of a 4 month old! He rolled over from his tummy to his back, multiple times. It probably helps that he is pretty round, because you know, rolling round things is easier than flat things. He can go from his back to his side, but you know who wants to lay with your face in the carpet anyway. Yay Sam!

Sam got diagnosed with his first ear infection..So sad! I was suspicious only because he was mildly fussy and scratching at his ears. I kept waiting for the weeping and wailing that I always did as a kid with an ear ache, but it never came. Strong Boy! And he weighed in at a substantial 16 lbs 1 oz!

Sam rolled over from his back to his tummy! But now he doesn't seem to know what to do next. I think maybe he forgot how to roll back to his back? Haha cute though. Another sad day though, we took him back to the pediatrician.........Double ear infection! This time we knew not to wait for the screaming and yelling. He wasn't himself, so we thought we ought to take him in and get him checked. Poor fella!

Sam is officially sitting up on his own! I figure it helps that he has a luscious spare tire around his waist to rest on his thighs. I can't believe how fast he is growing!

Got the walker out to test the waters. He successfully moves towards targets! Yay Sam!

May 7, 2009
Sad day, I put the swing away because, lets face it, Sam has more places to sit in the Living Room than we do. It just means that he is getting bigger, and is not my teeny tiny little new born anymore.

It happened! Sam cut his first tooth today! bottom right. Yay Sam! Bring on the food!
