Sick Baby

If you need us, we will be on the couch.

The February Fever

Poor G just can’t catch a break these days. A week and a half ago he had a double ear infection. Tuesday, the left ear was still draining a bit, but his doctor said he should be fine. Um… no. Sunday night – 101.8 temp. Monday morning – 102.6. Monday evening 102.8. So sad! Bran took another day off and kept him at home today. Good thing G is such a good baby. He has still slept all night long and is just whiny. He’s a trooper, but I feel so bad for him.
And another birthday picture:

6 more days!

Valentine’s 2013

I LOVE my man!

Valentine’s Day 2013 was pretty good. Bran has never been very good at the whole “romancing” thing. In fact, I’ve yet to receive a birthday card, let alone a gift, in the eight years we have been together. :/
I still love him though. I just remind myself it’s not about the “stuff.” I went all out for his birthday this year, and now Griffin’s birthday has my attention, so I didn’t really have any plans or expect anything for V-day. However, Brandon made reservations for us to enjoy some WONDERFUL dessert at TheCakePlace. I had a brownie with ice cream drizzled in caramel and chocolate sauce. Brandon ordered Crème Brulee. Both were so delicious. I really, really need to stop eating that crap though. My baby weight is never going to go away at the rate I’m going! It’s been a year for goodness sakes!!

You Turn Away for Two Seconds....

And this happens...

February Randoms

It’s Thursday night. 8:09. That means one thing… I should be writing next week’s lesson plans. BOO! Not going to talk about work though in this post.
Brandon is now 27! I had so much fun celebrating his birth week. He had a special surprise every day… a back rub, Sonic gift card, etc. I think he liked it!

Big Boy!
I signed up for the Women Can Run clinic. Yikes! I’m pretty sure I’m going to die! It starts in less than a month, and is 10 weeks long. By the end, the goal is to run a 5K. How awesome would that be!! I still have 10 pounds of baby weight that needs to go away!

Griffin is so much fun these days. I smother him with kisses every day when we get home. I could just eat him up!


He LOVES bath time! If you say the b word, he books it to the bathroom. Now, he even turns on the faucet and tries to climb in. He’s hysterical.
And just a small birthday preview…

CAN’T WAIT!

oops

Oh goodness. I’m such a slacker.
Griffin’s first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years has already passed. We are quickly approaching his first birthday!! I must say I’m having a BALL planning his party.
G at 9 months:

Love that little guy.
Griffin at 10 months/First Christmas

Christmas is SO much more fun with a little baby!
G at 11 months:

Seriously… I’m so blessed!
So I haven’t done a monthly update since 8 months. However, I have been keeping track of all the milestones in Griffin’s baby book. It’s an awesome baby book. I used Project Life to create it, and I couldn’t be more proud of it!
Work is still work. There are crazy changes happening in education. I’m just trying to keep up with all of them!
I’m 27 now. Bran threw me a sweet surprise party to celebrate a week before, and we had a wonderful date night on my birthday. This is his bday week. I’m surprising him each day with something special. So far, he’s off trash duty this week, received a $10 gift card to Sonic, and tonight he’s getting a back rub! I better figure out something for tomorrow quick!
There are way too many things to catch up on. Hopefully I will do a better job of blogging! I can’t wait to post about his bday party!!

Thankful

I can't believe that it's already Thanksgiving! Time flies.

I have so much to be thankful for this year. I am healthy, my family is healthy, and this is the first year to spend the holidays with my precious baby boy. I have a job that pays the bills and a warm place to call home. My husband is so supportive and is a wonderful man of God. I have an amazing home church with spirit filled leaders. I'm so blessed and so grateful.
