My Boy

Well, we got the dreaded news today. Shep has to get tubes in his ears. He has had an ear infection for almost 2 months now. He has gone through 4 rounds of antibiotics and his left ear just won't get better. I hate it for him. I think we are not worried so much about the tubes but just putting him to sleep for the procedure. That scares me. I've talked to a lot of people today though who have assured me he should be just fine and that the tubes were a lifesaver for their kids. 

 

He is such a sweet little boy. He is almost 10 1/2 months old now. I can't believe how big he is getting. Today he weighed 22 lbs 15 oz. He loves to say  "Yay!" and "Wow!". He is into everything. Pulling up and walking around the coffee table and along the couch. He loves to play chase. He loves to pull his sisters hair. He giggles and laughs all the time. He gives lots of kisses. He waves and says "Bye Bye".  All he really wants to play with are balls and cars. He flips GGs baby stroller over to spin the wheels! And, he LOVES his Daddy.

Creative Cropping - i heart faces

It's another week at I Heart Faces.

This week is Creative Crop. I think I'm way out of my league here, no beginner category this week, but it's fun to look at all the great photos. If anyone would like to give me some constructive criticism, advice etc., it would be much appreciated.

This is GG. She was about 6 months old in this picture. 

Below is the before shot. Sweet picture, but I love how the cropping brings out her eyes and just her sweet expression.

So head over to I Heart Faces and check out all the other photos.

iheartfaces : Messy

I found a great website to help me with my new toy. It's iheartfaces.

They have weekly contests and this week they have a section for "beginners". I do believe that is what I am. So I'm entering.

This is our little 10 month old Shep. He is having his first taste of blueberries today. And he loved them. He wasn't too messy, but good enough.

It's been a while....

Oh, yes, it has. We have had a crazy month. Lots of sickness going on around here. Ear infections, sinus infections, pulled muscles ( in my back) and to top it all off, GG fell and had to get 4 stitches in her head. So I haven't been taking pictures, much less posting them. But hopefully we are back.

 Today is March 1st.

 And Shep is 10 months old today. Happy 10 months baby boy! I can't believe it. You are growing so fast. You say DaDa, Mama, what sounds like GG, uh-oh and you are moving everywhere. On the go, all the time. And such a sweet boy. Can't imagine my life without you in it. Love you!

Next piece of news is that it snowed in Alabama today. And it snowed a lot. It was GG's first snow to play in. Shep couldn't go out in it because he has a cold and a little fever today. But Sophie and GG and Mommy and Daddy had fun. ( we took turns watching Shep and playing with the girls). So , lots of pictures ahead. Oh, also, my sweet sweet hubby came home yesterday and handed me a package. I have been wanting a new camera, and that's what it was! A new Nikon SLR camera. I LOVE it and have had so much fun today using it. 

Now that I have my new toy, lots of pictures to come soon! 

i got nothin...

We have been so sick around here. I just feel like I am in a fog and have ,of course, not taken any pictures.  We have to get better soon, right?? I think it's going on about 3 weeks now. We are slowly coming out of it. Now it seems to be just me and the little ones. Josh and Sophie are good.

So hopefully, I'll have some pics and something good, interesting, coherent :) to say soon.
