Little Swimmer

Or maybe not... We took Toby to the pool for the first time today and he wasn't particularly thrilled. But the water was on the cool side so that probably didn't help things along! We'll keep trying and see if we can get him used to the idea of a really deep bathtub!

We went shopping for a big boy carseat and a high chair today...and came home with neither. It can be so frustrating shopping for baby things...we knew what we wanted and no one carried them. So it's either change our mind or wait for things to come in. We're waiting on the car seat, but not sure which route to take with the high chair yet. Grrrrr. I think we're both just frustrated that we wasted an entire trip to Fayetteville with nothing to show but a tired, cranky baby. Oh well. Se la vie.

4 Months

Yesterday was Toby's 4 month birthday! Next week is our check up (and shots, yikes!) so we'll post stats then. C is working overtime this weekend so although it's Friday I'm home alone...with the Fourth and all this is making for a very strange week! We have gorgeous weather...cool, dry, and sunny! Not something we usually see much of in July down here...usually muggy is the more operative word.

Happy Belated Fourth of July!

I meant to post this yesterday but time got away from me with the water heater smoking and all...long story, but suffice it to say maitenence 'thinks' the problem is fixed and my utility closet smells like burnt plastic. Above is a picture of the Little Prince in his Fourth of July get-up; he's getting so big! He goes in next week for his 4 month check-up and shots and we'll get an update on exactly how big he is then. Tomorrow he turns 4 months...definitely not a "newborn" anymore!

Things are moving on our new house...this is a pic from last weekend. We picked out colors last week and I'll share when you can see them...that way if my judgement is completely off and it looks horrible no one has to know unless you come visit!

It's a beautiful day today although there is a chance of rain later...I can't believe we're into July already. The summer is moving along so quickly. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the 4th!

Yes it really is 12:35am

Ah the dreaded insomnia. I can't sleep so rather than toss and turn for hours I decided to surf the net for awhile in hopes it will make me sleep. No luck yet. I'm sure I will regret this tomorrow when Toby is raring to go and I am a walking zombie but if I have to nap when he does, oh well. In the meantime, here I am...

Other than the state of my sleeping there's not much new here. It rained most of the day...in fact it's been raining most of the last week, but there's sunnier skies ahead. Maybe we'll get down to the pool this weekend...it sure sounds refreshing.

Still trying to figure out what to do for the Fourth. I'd love to see fireworks, but I'm not sure how stinker will handle them...plus with the mosquitos I'm not sure it's worth the risk of him being ate up. Not to keen on the bites myself.

Well, I hope I get sleepy soon!!! Else we're in for a LONG night! (Toby will be up soon to eat anyway...or knowing my luck this will be his first night to sleep all the way through!)

Howdy!

Just wanted to share some new pictures with you all! We went to a church picnic tonight, which ended up being a carry-in since it's been raining all day...yuch! In fact, it's been raining most the weekend. Curtis is making a quick trip to Indy this week, but I think it's the shortest trip he's ever made, so I can't complain about that at all!





I can't believe we're into summer already...and June is nearly gone. Time flies by so quickly anymore! Toby is getting huge; we have a pediatrician appointment in two weeks so we'll get to see just how huge he is!

Sorry I've been slacking!

It's been so long since I've posted...my sincere apologies! Life has been extremely busy of late and I've barely had time to check my email, but hopefully things will settle down now. Toby is finally sleeping better at night...he's 3.5 months old now.

3 Months Old!

Toby is 3 months old today! Yay! We took pictures but they're on the camera, which is in the other room and I'm too tired to deal with it tonight anyway so pictures to come later :)

We had a great trip to Ohio last week, although it totally messed with Toby's schedule. And then he started teething while we were there and upon our return home he decided to go through a growth spurt which included eating every 3 hours all night long! Argh! Thankfully he's through that now and we're back to a decent amount of sleep.

Curtis is back at work again...it is so nice to be back to our regular life! At least it will be regular until the next trip which is of yet undetermined.

In other news, Curtis has a permanent position at Fort Bragg!!! After months of limbo we finally have a home for the next few years! So off to house-hunting! Wish us luck! I can't wait to get out of our apartment!!!!!
