Has it been 4 weeks already?

So I am already failing at keeping up with my blog, but I guess some posts are better than none.  I'll try to make this as brief as possible.

We started full day daycare "school" and full day work on my birthday.  Pretty lame way to celebrate a birthday.  Some of our friends with a baby just two months older than Buster invited us over for dinner that night so at least I had that to look forward to.  When I got home from work I had several presents waiting for me.  My parents got me a family pass for the zoo, Glen got me a Kindle, and my in laws got me a gift card to one of my favorite food places in Pearland, Pei Wei.  Thanks to all of them, may day was quickly getting better.  When we got to our friends house, I started to feel a little funny.  You all know how shy I am so I quietly keep my current condition to myself.  Yeah right, I started complaining immediately :)  They cooked a fabulous dinner that I couldn't even touch when they put it in front of me.  About twenty minutes later, I was hanging out in the bathroom sick as can be...embarrassing, right?  I was throwing up every 30 minutes to an hour for until about 3:00 a.m. that morning.  It ended up being a 24 hour bug that I passed on to many of my friends.  In the end, we all survived. :) Normally I would say that this was the worst birthday of my life.  However, this was my first birthday to be a mom so I wouldn't dare say that.  Plus, it was Buster's 1/2 Birthday!

I have mentioned Buster's bouncing before so I thought I should include a little clip.

Two days after my birthday, my big boy decided he could sit up.  It seems like it just happened overnight.  I had mentioned to Glen that I was worried that school wasn't going to practice sitting up with him since they have numerous babies to watch and the next thing I knew he was doing it.

So big!  Thanks Jack for my big red ball.  I love to stick my feet in it when I'm having tummy time.

Buster's school was closed on the 19th, so he got to come to school with mommy for a little while.

Daddy's first day at work with the students back.  If you look really closely at my hair, you will notice my mohawk.  As much as my dad would like to take credit for it, my hair does some pretty crazy things on its own.

First week of school for Buster down.  Let me countdown until summer begin.  I really only half way mean that.  Every day it is terribly hard to be away from him, but I do like being back to work.  It is great to see coworkers and of course all of the kids.  Also, Buster makes it a lot easier on me.  He LOVES his school teachers and likes being surrounded by little people just like him.  When I come to pick him up he flashes me a huge happy to see my momma smile, and then goes back to playing.  I think he would like for me to just sit there with him so he could have the best of both worlds. 


Despite protests from his Daddy, I dresses Buster up like a true southern boy for church.  No, Daddy Glen, this is not a moo moo for baby boys!

How many pictures are you going to take Mom?
















If I wave for you, will you stop?








During the third week of school, I go to pick Buster up and was greeted by his teacher saying, "Glen had a little accident today."  I was actually quite proud of how calmly I responded.  In my head I was obviously thinking....what?  I left my baby with you and he had an accident.....MY precious baby?!  He was have tummy time and bonked his precious noggin on the edge of a toy.  It turned out not being that bad at all.

I am sure this will be the first bruise of many for this baby boy.  He is SO busy and as soon as he can crawl I am afraid he will be into EVERYTHING!

WEEKEND FUN WITH THE MAYS BOYS!!!!

Last weekend, we started our weekend out by spending Saturday morning at the zoo with Greysen, Graham, and their mommy and daddy.  Unfortunately our daddy had to go to football.  Buster rode the carousel.  He seemed to really like it, but spit up promptly after finishing his ride.   We saw the chimps, giraffes, elephants, prairie dogs, meerkats, and reptiles.  The chimps were a little irritable and as soon as they were let into their area, they charged the viewing glass and repeatedly hit the glass where we were standing.  It didn't seem to scare Buster but definitely startled his momma.

After the zoo, we went home and took our much needed nap together.  When daddy got home from football we went to the Mays' house for some more fun.

Who  knew a potty could double as a chair?

We finished out the night we some bath time fun!
     

Bath time is much easier now that Buster can sit in the tub.  Greysen was such a big helper with Buster and told his mommy, "Baby Glen sit up all by himself."  Sweet boy!

This past week we had a sick boy on Labor Day and daddy had to spend the next day at home with him.  Luckily his fever broke and he was back to his happy self quickly.  I guess I caught whatever he had and was pretty much out of commission for the weekend.  The worst part of it all was that Nana was in town and I didn't get to enjoy her as much as I usually do.  However, I appreciate it her as much as always b/c she was able to help so much with Buster.  He loved getting out of school early on Friday and spending some time just him and his Nana. 

Since I am back in the swing of grad school, my posts might be few and far between, but I will try to make sure that I update as regularly as possible.
