The Dub Shack: March 2012

I cannot believe this month you are 1/2 a year old! Where has the time gone??

March 1 – 3

On Friday March 2, we went to a youth event called Live Loud at Lake Houston CON. It was about 1 hour drive there and you slept the whole time. You did great. Everyone thought you were cute and you were happy most of the time. You and mommy came home early because the event real late. We went back on Saturday and were there most of the day. You took a nap in your car seat which I wasn’t sure you would do but you did great! Saturday night we all just relaxed!!

March 4- 10

Monday you went to Jodie’s house instead of Nicole. You had a runny nose and acted like you didn’t feel well most of the day. We debated to take you to the doctor again. You had an appointment Thursday for your 6 month check up so we decided to wait. We put you in the swing Monday night to sleep and you slept great and I think that helped! You did good at the 6 month check-up. Daddy had to take you alone – mommy couldnt go because of work L You got 4 shots. You were 16.14 pounds and 26 inches long. Good growing little man!!! Mommy loved this week of school because after it ended it started Mommy’s spring break and a week off to spend with you!! We are also feeing you baby food and oatmeal and you are really starting to like it. You love fruits! You do not like vegetables so much :)

March 11 – 17

On Monday – we had a play date with some other babies and mommies. You enjoyed being around the other babies and playing in Daisy’s exersaucer. I think we are going to get you one. Tuesday – Nana stopped by on her way home to see you for a little while. She gave you some good Nana loving. Wednesday – you and daddy and mommy set out for a long ride to OKC. We went for Difabs wedding. Daddy was the best man. On Thursday we got to show you off to Laura Kessler, Dr. Shellenberger, Marty Michaelson, and several others at SNU. Then we got to see Lolly and Peeps and Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Jared. Then we went to Michelles house and you got to meet sweet Truett! Fun day! Friday we hung out a lot with Lolly and Peeps and then we went to rehearsal dinner. You looked so cute!!! Then on Saturday we got to go to Truett’s dedication on Saturday morning which was really neat. On Saturday afternoon we went ot Difab’s wedding and you did pretty well during it. We danced at the reception and had fun!

March 18 - 24 : On Sunday we drove back to Houston. You did well in the car! You slept and when you were awake Mommy sat in the back with you and we played with your toys! This was a pretty normal week of you going to MDO and sitters (you started with your new sitter Jennifer Henry this week) and church. Mommy did take you to the doctor Monday because your cough is still yucky, but guess what - its a virus! Friday began Mommy and Daddys' crazy, busy next 4 weeks. Daddy had Winter Jam (concerts) to go to with youth and Mommy had cheer try-outs. So Daddy brought you to my school during try-outs (and of course everyone thought you were so cute!) and you and mommy had a date night. I LOVED it! Then on Saturday, Mommy got up early to take pictures for her Cute Kids Contest. Mommy came home and we spent some time together, then Mommy and Daddy went to see Hunger Games and you enjoyed time at Jodie's.

March 25-31: Sunday was pretty normal. We went to church and relaxed that evening. Monday and Tuesday Mommy had STAAR testing - yuck! Wednesday, cheer tryouts started again and we went to church. Friday as soon as I got home from cheer Daddy left for 30 hour famine. You and Mommy had another date night!! On Saturday, you went to cheer tryouts with mommy then we headed over to 30-hour famine! The youth girls LOVE you!
