I'VE BEEN TAGGED!!!!

Like Aunt Connie, I'm too lazy (have limited time between Landen's naps) to write out the directions to this game. So read someone else's blog to get the directions for this game. Also, somewhere it went from writing seven facts about ourselves to eight.

1. I, like Bailey have a few OCD issues. I have to have all of my books, CD's, and movies alphabatized. I also arrange my clothes by color, length of the sleeve, and the season. I have to have my clothes and towels folded a certain way. If someone else is folding my clothes and it's not done right, I will re-fold them.

2. I always wished I could sing and dance. When I was a little girl, my Dad had a trailor parked on our street. After school, I would use the trailor as my stage and sing and dance on it.

3. I hate being pregnant. Pregnancy is just no walk in the park for me. So sorry to those of you who love to be pregnant. I know it isn't supposed to be easy, but I just don't like it. But I do LOVE the end product.

4. I love to organize also. When I was in college, I would always go home and organize my mom's cupboards for her. That is how I got started in scrapbooking. One Christmas break I was bored and started going through all of my mom's pictures and decided to organize them in certain categories.

5. I have to have a water bottle with me all the time. People always call me a camel cause I drink so much water. However, for some reason when I'm pregnant water makes me sick. So I can only drink a sip at a time.

6. I love babies. Before I had one of my own, I always wanted and was more than willing to hold one. Now that I'm a mother, I realize I probably drove a lot of mothers crazy always wanting to hold their baby.

7. I like to collects things, especially elephants and care bears.

I believe everyone by now has been tagged already.

9 Months Old

Today, my little baby is 9 months old. I can't believe it. He is so much fun. He loves to talk. He just babbles on and on sometimes. His little personality keeps coming out more and more. He likes to stand and hold on to you and blow air on you, maybe they are his versions of kisses. He can be so sweet sometimes and so onry(spelling?) Last night we were eating dinner and I gave him a few bites of my potatoes and then they were all gone. He wanted more. When he couldn't have anymore he threw the biggest fit I have ever seen. He threw his arms up and down and screamed. It was so funny.
He is crawling now and cruising along the couch. He loves to stand and walk with us. So now that he is crawling, he can follow me around, which is good sometimes. Especially, now that I'm pregnant again. When I have to lay down, he can just crawl over to me or over to whatever he wants.
He had he well checkup today. He weighs 18 lbs 1.5 ounces. Which puts him in the 10th to 25th percentile. His height is 28 1/2 inches. 50th percentile. Since he isn't gaining very much, due to no longer being breastfed and won't take a bottle, the Dr. said I have to start feeding him rice cereal and make it with formula and add an extra scoop of formula to the cereal so he will be sure to get all of his nutrients. It isn't like I am starving him. He still eats like a pig. He eats 6-7 little containers of baby food, plus crackers, plus whatever I'm eating that he wants to eat and is able to eat. There for a while, I had to give him water in a medicine dropper. Just barely he is learning to drink out of a sippy cup. I have tried to give him formula in a sippy, but he just spits it out and continues to spit. That is funny to watch. He's like, Mom, why are you feeding me this disgusting stuff?" So I will have to continue to experiement with him to try to get him to drink more liquids.
Otherwise, we are doing well. I'm not near as sick with this baby as I was with Landen. Thank you everyone for your prayers. So now people think it is a girl. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Our insurance is going to fix our truck luckily. So hopefully it will be done by the time we go to Rocky Point at the beginning of June. And good thing they cover a rental car for 30 days. Byron is doing well. He continues to work hard all the time.
