Here’s Dade at my grandma’s house in the Exersaucer.
He also had cereal for the first time this weekend!
More later!
I need to post more! May 25, 2008
I’ve found that since returning to work I haven’t been posting as much. Dade has been growing by leaps and bounds. He has recently discovered his voice. Here’s a video of me trying to get him to make his cute noises! He’s swaddled and ready for bed, but it’s still super duper cute.
He has also recently started grabbing at things. Here’s a series of pictures of him trying to grab my dish towel.
That whole series of pictures took like 5-10 minutes. He’s making his cute high pitch noises while doing this.
Dade has also discovered that he has toes. Just look at the concentration on his face!
He’s almost got them in the last picture.
Mom and I went shopping, and well besides Dade getting lots of cute new outfits for this summer, he got his first pair of Converse shoes.
Now I’m sure you are saying, “Why did you buy that baby Converse shoes.” Well. I’ll still never buy Nike shoes for Dade because baby Nikes are WAY more expensive than these. I got both pairs of shoes for $20.
It’s time for me to get busy on my graduate class homework. Mom and Dad have Dade and I want to get down to Knob sometime this afternoon, but in order to do that I need to read my book, write my paper, and then do my presentation.
I really miss having Dade here.
Can’t Remember When May 14, 2008
I last blogged. Which is not entirely a good thing. It’s been crazy busy the last two weeks or so. So busy in fact I don’t even know where to start. I guess me can start with my first mother’s day.
It was pretty rockin! I got my first gift the Wednesday before. Geoff and Amy bought me a wireless mouse, and a book. The wireless mouse is awesome, because I made the joke about not having to get up from the couch if I had a wireless mouse. For those of you that don’t know, I recently learned how to hook my laptop up to the TV, so I’ve been watching my shows on the TV off the laptop. With the wireless mouse I don’t have to get up to hit continue. Lazy. Yes. But when you have a sleeping baby on you it makes all the difference. Clint bought me a dozen roses. I told him not to get me anything because we can’t afford a lot of extra stuff right now, but he doesn’t listen. It was super sweet though!
The school year is starting to come to an end. I’m going to be teaching 3rd grade next year. I’m excited to work with the ladies that are already there. I’m trying to find my niche with the kids age wise. I think I might find my match here. My big portfolio is due on Friday by 4:15. I’ll finish it tomorrow, fingers-crossed.
Dade’s being doing good. Last night he was trying to sit up by himself in the boppy pillow. I think he’s starting to get his teeth in. He must have chewed up my finger for quite a while tonight. Amy took some cute pictures. Right now he’s standing on her tummy making weird faces because he’s making a mess for me to clean in his diaper. He’s 11 weeks now. We are going to start cereal within the next few weeks. That will be fun and exciting.
I thin we are going to Branson for Memorial Day weekend. Our friends Scott and Sarah invited us down for the weekend. We haven’t seen Sarah since October/November and she’s dying to see Dade. Scott works for some resort and said he could get tickets for just about any show in Branson. It will be nice to get away. I think the plan is to head down that Saturday morning (it’s like a 4 hour drive), and then come home Monday morning.
Three more classes until I graduate. My classes this summer will be a nice relaxing set. Graphic Novels and Literature in Film. Which sets me up for my big research class (which is my final one). It will be nice to have my degree has a third year because it will be a nice pay raise.
Time for Dade’s bed time routine.
Diaper.
Bottle.
Books.
Rock.
Place in Crib.
Picture Day May 4, 2008
Yesterday was picture day for Dade. We took him to Portrait Innovations to have them taken. We also had a family picture taken as well. I’ve uploaded the pictures to my Web Gallery. We got all 68 images on a CD for us to keep and take back for reprints whenever we need to. Here are a few of my favorites.
That’s right we took the bear suit in to have pictures taken in it. We made the photographers day!
