Pants on the Head...

As most of you know, Jeffry has been known to put random objects on David's head.
Not long after the American Idol try outs, he started putting David's pants on his head during diaper or pj changes. He would then sing to him, "Pants on the head, pants on the head, looking like a CUTIE with the pants on the head".

I finally got pictures of one of these "Pants on the head" moments. :)

Rough night...

"Good morning, good morning, good morning little man"

I sing that to him every morning.

This morning he's still snuggled in with his blanket and sock monkey...

But most of the night was spent curled up tight against my body.

He fussed last night at dinner too... I just figured he was tired...

He went to bed around 10:30 or so, but woke up at 11:50ish with a coughing fit. I ran in there so fast... scooped him up and just hushed and rocked him, did a walk / dance to our bedroom to tell Jeffry that he just woke up from a coughing fit. It freaked me out pretty bad. We tried to put him to sleep in our room, in his pack and play... but he wasn't going to have that. Screamed and cried every time we tried... he'd wake up just enough to realize what was happening.

So Jeff rocked him while I went to finish getting ready for bed. When I came back in he had fallen back asleep in his arms... so I layed down and had him lay him in my arms.

We slept like this for awhile... I did manage to get him to the pack and play without him waking up. He slept for awhile... woke up at 4ish like normal for his feeding... so I nursed him, he ate fine, so he can't be feeling TOO sick... then he fell back asleep in my arms again. I just layed there listening to him breathe... quick, uneven, almost panic like breaths. Then he'd stop for a second and I would hear a sound like fluid in his throat... so I'm not sure what's happening... if its just saliva getting caught in his throat, or drainage from his nose... I think we might take another trip to the doctor this coming week.

Well after awhile I moved him back to the pack and play... he cried one whinny little cry, turned over, wiggled his way into the corner, like he always does, and passed right out. He's still laying there... a couple times now he's pulled the covers over his head... but decides that's not as comfortable.

Any way, pray its nothing, and that I'm just worrying for no reason...

So...

"Good morning, good morning, good morning sweet little man"

Reflections

This photo melts me into a puddle every time I see it...

Sitting here looking through all the photos I have of David brings these happy little tears to my eyes and I can't help but think about the last 6 months... plus those wonderful 9 months (and one day ;)) I carried him within me.

I still am shocked with myself that I'm not that shocked at all! It feels so natural to be "mommy". How is that possible? To just wake up and know that you ARE mom?

My whole life before David seems like it never really existed. He is my life... its like everything before him was just time filler, like those music montage in TV shows or movies when they want to kill time.

He brings so much light and happiness to my life...

I find myself singing "You are my Sunshine" to him on a daily basis and as I sing it, he smiles and does his cute little bashful "hide my face in mommy's neck" move... and again, those happy little tears slip out of my eyes...

I find myself crying every day because of him... happy tears, worried motherly tears, sad tears when he cries those heart breaking cries that I can't soothe... but it all seems to normal to me, so natural... and I'm shocked that that doesn't shock me.

Needless to say... I'm hopelessly in love with him...

Hopelessly in love with both my boys...

I watch Jeffry with him and that too brings those happy little tears out to play... they don't always fall... but they're there... gathering, pooling... then swallowed back up as I regain myself... telling myself its silly to cry so much... but I don't really mind the tears... my heart races every time from the overwhelming love I feel...

I can't imagine life without these two special souls...

They are my loves, my life, my happiness and I wouldn't give them up for anything in the world.

.Love.

David's 1st Tooth

Well its official! David's first tooth broke through yesterday! The second isn't far from the 1st either. I'll be out soon I'm sure. :)

I haven't gotten a picture of it, though you can see the tooth bumps in the photos I uploaded a couple days ago.

Awww I could try right now. My little man is growing up. :)

His grandma says it was a birthday gift to his Grandpa Jeff and Auntie Kara since their birthdays were yesterday. I would have to agree! He waited for the birthdays, what a good little boy. :)

We went to the zoo today with my friend Tiffany. We only got to stay for about an hour, but he really seemed to enjoy himself. He mainly just looked at the green of the trees... and of course the fish when we got to the reef section. He could of sat there for hours if I let him... I got some pictures, but I have yet to download them onto the computer, so I'll upload them when I get the chance.

Well I'm off to find dinner for the family.

Floor Mat Fun!

6 month pictures

Thanks to my friend Carlton McMillan who is a wonderful photographer, I was able to get some 6 month studio shots of David. :) I love how they turned out. :)

Also happy because he was able to get some of me and David... there aren't a lot of the two of us, since I'm usually behind the camera. So I'm always happy when I can get into a shot with him. :)

Here he is with his daddy's favorite hat. :)

I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I do. :)

I'll have some more photos of him from around the house soon. :)
