the one with no name

This has to be the worst Santa picture I have ever seen, muchless taken. It is what it is I guess. I have been thinking that tomorrow morning, we need to hit the mall and try this again. Funny thing is, it has nothing to do with the fact Tutti-Frutti was crying, I love that part actually. They had Santa's chair pushed flush with the wall and in a corner. What sense does that make. Oh well, will try again tomorrow perhaps.



My first born is a moron and I say that with all the love in my heart. You would think after he had done this once before on Tutti-Frutti's first birthday, he would know better than to try again!



Somehow, the little weirdo got himself stuck between the front and middle seat of my mom's car...again.



This will make great blackmail material one day! Muah ha ha ha!!!



My poor sweet sick little man and his wonderful big sister. She let him nap on her for hours. I think this was the day the fever finally broke! Wheew, almost a week later.



Isn't that just the sweetest picture?



Ready to make a gingerbread house? The big kids went to Gee Gee's house to spend the night and daddy and the little boys built a gingerbread house. Boy was that fun.



Bubble wrap!



Did I mention that this one is a little thrown off too? Hehe



Hope we were not going to eat this! He is actually saving it for Santa!



I want to help too daddy!



Of course his idea of helping is sitting in the middle of the table stealing candy and throwing it to the dog!



Whatcha doin daddy?



Like I said, I hope we were not planning on eating it. Poor Santa!



Each piece was handled with love.



Daddy hard at work.



Time for frosting!



Hard at work.



This takes lots of concentration, on both their parts!



He thinks like his mommy! hehe



I want to help!



Finally time to decorate!



I guess we had better read the directions first.



This is how it is supposed to be done.



Spread on more frosting.



Almost done.



The finished gingerbread house!



A few nights later, we made our own pizzas! This one was Boog and Daddy's. It tasted the best too!



Then we decorated cookies for Santa.

what a week

Wow...this has been a week from H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS! My poor sweet smallest man has been so sick this week. I do not want to complain about how much that has worn me out because he has been miserable. He has been whiney, lethargic, feverish, refuses to eat, sleeps a lot, fussy and just plain miserable. I feel so bad for him.

I took him in to the pedi on Wednesday, he has RSV. It is whippin our tails, to put it mildly. Understandably, he wants to be held all of the time. He will not play, he will not sit, he will not do anything on his own.

Dear hubby had to call in sick to work one day and I really wish he could have been off for the rest of the week. I can usually handle things around here alone when someone is sick, but I have not had one this sick in years.

I am happy to say that today he had a much better day, he still would not eat much, he was still terribly crabby and tired but at least he walked around a bit and let other people hold him. Today started our Christmas celebrations so we had to get out today and I am glad we did, I enjoyed the break of having some help with him. I just feel so bad for the tiny little guy.

We had our family Christmas pics taken a few days ago (#1, yes I know that it is terribly late to have those done and #2, yes mother of the year taking my sick baby out to have pictures taken!) by my sweet friend Shannon. Just wanted to show you a sneak peek of them to show you just how miserable the poor guy was. Any of you that frequent my blog, know that this little guy is full of personality and cheer, his smile lights up the room. Well...look at this poor sweet face. It makes me want to cry.



Still cute as he can be though.

Weekly Wednesday

I guess it is really official...he had his 6 month well check yesterday. We were okayed to start eating meat. Oh boy was my first thought. How am I going to figure that one out but I think we did beautifully. Tonight for dinner, he had chicken, sweet potatoes, some prunes and 1/2 a banana. Should I mention that they were all pureed together and resembled creamy peanut butter and was actually pretty good...yes, we did taste it! Do you honestly think we would feed our baby something that neither of us had tried?! And he LOVED it. It pretty much just tasted like bananas.
So, as of yesterday, our happy little guy weighed in at 15.9 lbs. and was 26 1/2" long. He is about average height and below average for his weight. What is this you ask? Yes, we have our first skinny baby! Oh, what's that, you didn't ask? Oh well, you know you wanted to.

Poor guy turned on the charm as best he could; afterall, he did get 5 shots yesterday in his skinny little legs. So considering the trauma he had to endure, I think he was more than cooperative.

Mostly on the serious side but I think he likes to see "The Mommy and Daddy Sideshow of Circus Tricks" on Wednesdays when we try to get a smile.

He has a way of turning on the charm no matter what.

He just melts my heart!

Oh and he discovered our lovely dead grass today too.

He thought it was the neatest thing ever.

Look what I can mostly do by myself!

We have a peeping Boog Tom too!

I just wish you could see his whole outfit...batman pj top, polar bear boxer breifs, and batman crocs! What a sight he was.

New Stats...

Just thought I would upate on my lil Tutti-Frutti and how big he is getting...



We went in for his monthly injection and at 5 months, he weighs in at 14 lbs. 2 oz. and he is 25 7/8" long.

Mr. Lil Man

Mr. Lil Man had to get his monthly Synagis injection this morning so we took the opportunity to see how big he is getting. I was unable to schedule his regular 4 month well check until January 12th so we were just dying to know. So...at 4 months, Mr. Lil Man is 13 lbs. 4oz. and is 25"! And of course just as cute as can be.



Boog, being the best big brother in the world, was so concerned about his baby, had tears in his eyes as he asked, "Mommy, is he goin' be ok?" How sweet is that?!? He loves his baby brother.
