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!!!!!

Best of Friends

I think Toby and Lex and going to get along just fine...Lex's new favorite hobby is sniffing Toby, and Toby usually smiles (but in this picture he just looked so funny I had to share).

Curtis comes home in 2 days! Yay! I can't wait! Of course poor Lex will be off to the kennel before Curtis gets home so he has to miss the grande homecoming :( But I'm sure he will make up for it with kisses when we all get home!

It was supposed to be sunny all day but instead it's been cloudy and drizzling here and there...ugh. At least it's warm though!

Two sides of the same coin

It's amazing how fast this child can go from smiling and happy to royally pissed off! Just to prove my point:

He has the cutest smile though (I know I'm biased, but what mother isn't?) And because I can't resist showing off that adorable smile:

Yup, he's a cutie :) We've had lots of rain here the last week or so, which really is a blessing since we've been in such a drought. Last night there were even tornado warnings...almost unheard of (except during hurricane season) in this area. But it really greens up the trees and flowers.

Toby is SO close to laughing...there are so many times I think "This is it!" but then he quiets down. It's amazing to watch how he learns to make new sounds and coos...before I know it he'll be a full-fledged talker! I am hoping he learns to laugh before we drive to Ohio...I'd love to be able to show off that giggle, but Curtis is hoping to be back before Tobes conquers that feat.

2 Months

We had our 2 month check up today! Toby weighed in at 14 lbs, 10 ozs and 24 3/4" long! He's getting so big! The dr said he is in the 75th percentile on weight, height, and head circumference. Yay! He had to have 4 shots, so t hat was hard to watch, but he's peacefully sleeping now.

Here's a pic of him watching the fish in his bouncer.

A Beautiful May Day

The weather down here is just beautiful! Sunny, breezy, and warm!

Curtis is on another trip so it's just me, Toby, and Lex...so far so good!

Here are some pictures we took over the weekend.

Congrats to my brother and his fiancee who are graduating this week! I wish I could be there to watch! Good luck you two!

7 Weeks

Toby is already 7 weeks! And he's been kind enough to start sleeping longer at night...he's been down by 10 and sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch the last few nights. Yay! He's also been smiling more...those smiles make my day! He enjoys his bath time, and loves having his hair washed.

Curtis and I are enjoying our new car. We drove to the eye doctor this weekend so I could have an exam and get a new pair of glasses...the trip was successful (yay!). We've been taking lots of walks since the weather is beautiful down here. We are still in a drought, but we've had some rain in the last week, and that has helped green things up.

Other than that, life is quiet. The most exciting part of our day is when Toby feels like smiling and playing!
