First Day of School




Davis went to "school" for the first time on Monday. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving him all day. In fact I'm sure Steve would agree that I wasn't in the best of moods leading up to the big day. Monday finally came and I got up early and made sure we had all of his things packed. We got the St. Timothy's and we met his teacher.,,,Davis seemed excited looking around the room. Steve and I unpacked his things and the moment came where I knew I was going to have to hand him over. I gave him to Mrs. Donna and waited for the melt down....but nothing happened. She told me she would call if he had any crazy meltdowns. He smiled at me and I thought for sure I was going to cry so I kissed him and left! I swallowed the lump in my throat and headed for the car. When I got to work I kept my phone by my desk all day but no one called. When the day was over I went to pick him up and found him sleeping in the swing. He had a good day! They said he got a little fussy but they put the Origel on his gum and he felt better. I brought him home and put him on the floor in the den. The minute I did he rolled over and got up on his hands and knees! I could hardly believe it! 1 day at school and see how much he has learned!

Each day I left him that week was great! To be honest he seems SO happy to go and play with his friends. I almost feel bad that maybe I was just not enough stimulation for him this summer! He plays with his friend Sam and recently took a likely to Jenna. Last week he even played with bubbles! More importantly Mrs. Donna has him napping on a good schedule AND in a bed! WOW~! God Bless that woman! Having him so happy makes me feel SO much better about leaving him!

6 Months Old





Happy Half Birthday to our little boy! We celebrated by going to the doctor for some shots! haha Poor thing! When Dr. Pope came in the door he looked at us and said.... "So we made it to 6 months!" That was when it hit me how fast it all flew by! It seems like yesterday that my little boy didn't want anything but to be held and cuddled all day and night. Now he doesn't cuddle you he CLIMBS you! He is busy and on the move! Making it to 6 months really is an accomplishment for everyone. We made it through the nine MISERABLE months of pregnancy, the birth and hospital stay of course, the super newborn blob stage, the sleepless nights, and endless bottles and laundry. These days aren't as stressful as the beginning. Likewise I think that Steve and I have a better idea of what to do with Davis! We brought him home with not a clue of what to do with him.

Love at first sight:
Sippy cup, sitting, walker, Baby Bjorn, stacking ring set, bath time, frozen teething rings, the remote control, eating food, being tickled, mirrors, washer and dryer, the dining room...not sure why, THE DISHWASHER!, his best friend baby neptune, smiling, laughing, making squealing whale sounds, rolling, and generally chewing on anything and everything.

Things we haven't warmed up to:
Stroller, napping...but it's getting better, crawling....sort of interested, loud sounds, loud people, toilet flush,
