Skelly is growing up....sob, sniffle, smile

Oh my big baby! You now roll both ways and have been rolling all over the house today!! We are in SO much trouble now!!! I love you Skelly Skellington!!

Jump Around!!

sigh....melt....

Oh Skelly, today you held my face in your pudgy little hands brought it close to yours and licked me on the cheek. My first baby kiss....my heart has just melted. *sigh*

Rolling!!

On the menu this week.....

Loving this meal planning thing and the only issue that I've been having is finding new recipes that both J. and I will like. This week is bruschetta chicken and Peruvian chicken....The Peruvian chicken will be with some fingerling potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts that I've added to the recipe. YUM!

You are Five Months Old

Dear Skelly,

Well better late than never I guess....Five months have passed...okay, if I'm being honest plus a few days but you've been sick again and I haven't written all of your tremendous milestones....You are smiling all the time, even while sick which I guess is why the doctors keep on dismissing me. You light up as soon as you see me or your daddy. You love to laugh and be tickled. Kissing you on your chunky thighs is sure to guarantee a burst of giggles. The last few days you have begun to try and roll. You had two good rolls on the bed but we're not sure if it was being slanted but we'll count them. Muse is getting much more interested in you and comes over more often to smell what you've been eating, just wait until the real food comes. Speaking of food, you love it! Doris feeds you at daycare and has said you gobble it up. We are so excited to start making you baby food next month, I know your Gong Gong is waiting to be able to feed you a big bucket of KFC but Momma thinks we'll probably just start out with some peas. Oh, Skelly you are so loved and treasured. We love you.

the cold that had no end....

Skelly is sick yet again....I've called out from work and am dealing with my own personal guilt over that and know that I just have to get over it. I miss the kids at school and hurt for my own kid too. I now realize how lucky I was to grow up with a mom that stayed at home. I feel awful that I am continually bringing my child to a place where he feels bad. I know that as an adult that I wouldn't go somewhere that every time I went I got sick, it's like going to the restaurant that you know you'll get food poisoning from. I guess not completely the same since I imagine that he'd get sick at ALL daycares, but I just want him to eat at home-stay healthy at home. My poor baby...I will never have a summer baby again.....the next kid must be born in April or March and that way will have some time before this cold season hits. It really is agonizing listening to him breathe and cough and still smile through it. Have I told you yet that I have the most amazing child ever....He is my world.

and I almost forgot!!

We are on day 2 of sleeping through the night!! Wish me luck on night 3 coming up!!!

allergies?!?

According to the pedi Skelly has allergies which is what has been causing the coughing and vomiting....Hopefully this claritin will help clear things up. Here's to hoping!! I never thought I would wish that giving Skelly medicine every day would be a GOOD thing!!
