Watching Us Grow: February 2006

Um...so today he held his bottle up by himself for the first time!!! He is so grown!! What is it about a baby's first. I am so proud of him.

Let me just say Grandmas are awesome!!! I have been truly blessed not to have to worry about a daycare during the week. My mom watches the baby during the day while I'm at work. Do you know there is nothing like knowing your baby is being fed, changed, cuddled, and loved on while you are away for 8 hours. She always tells me to stop calling so much during the day and that she has raised 3 wonderful children. Yea, I know but you always just have to check on them. This picture is funny because its what I come home to sometimes when Tre' has worn her out.

So....I'm am such a very happy mother today!!! Tre' for the first time sat up by himself today! We were in the church nursery and I sat him in fromt of this toy. He sat up and played with the toy for about a minute. He was laughing and giggling and when he realized I wasn't holding him he fell back. It was so amazing to see this. It is a blessing to see how strong he is getting and all the developmental milestones he passes !!!

Congrats to BJ and his girlfriend.. they just had their son on Feb 13, 2006 at (around) 1am!! Parenthood will change your life forever!!! I pray health and prosperity for your family.

Ok...so Tre has been sick for the past month. At first they said he had bronchiolitis and just when we thought he was getting over that he gets stuffy and runny (nose, eyes) all over again. Pray for him in hopes that he doesn't get allergies and asthma as I had bad as a child (and still suffer from time to time) as well as my dad, as they (the doctors) suspect he might. I am not claiming any of that!

Other than being alittle congested and runny..he is doing great!!! He is such a happy baby, and a ladies man. When we brought him to Children's Hospital this past weekend all the ladies were cooing over him and he was just eating it up. He loves to smile and bable on and on about anything his heart desires.

He is trying to hold conversations, and Scott and I are in a frenzy to see whose name he says first...mama or dada..I know it will be mama. I told Scott we can't talk around him because he will be telling all our business!!

He has his 4 month check coming soon..(March 6,2006 @ 9:40a). This one is special because he will begin solids. I am planning on making his food (we will see how long this lasts) so the doctor will be explaining the best way to do so. He also will be getting his 2nd round of shots, which I am not looking forward too! Pray for him. Right now he is 17 lbs 3oz (with his clothes on) and 23 1/2 in. He is getting soooo big sooo fast.

The pic is of him in the hospital waiting to be examined...
