I'm a Lame Blogger-Apologies!


You will have to forgive me. I have not been a diligent blogger. You see, this cute little guy has stolen my heart (and my time, my sleep, all that good stuff!:) I LOVE being a Mom and love being able to be home (for now) with our little guy. He is growing so fast. He turns two months on Wednesday, and I think is right around 12 pounds. He has been doing SOOO much better at nights (slept his first straight 6 1/2 hours last night!) and smiles a bit more at us every day. He LOVES his baths, and I can not wait to take our little Champ to the pool! He is getting better about not screaming once he is pulled out of the water, and also DESPISES haivng his hair brushed or lotion massaged into him. His hair is growing so fast (his first haircut is quickly coming!) and he is cooing and making noises when he is content or when he plays with his toys. He is adored by all. He pouts when he cries, and loves to be held. The colic is MUCH better (thanks to our wonderful Moms!) and he gets all his shots on Thursday (I'm already prepared to give the tylenol before and am also bringing a bit of sweet-ease (sugar water) along for the ride. I go back to work in a week and half and it will hard to leave my little guy. I adore him, and Mike and our Champ are my life right now. So I will try so hard to be a better blogger, but Champ is not the most understanding of my need to blog.
*Voting for our niece Gracie and her family ends next Thursday, so you can still vote!
**E-vites were sent out for those of you who want to come to the shower for Champ. If you did not get the e-vite, let me know and I will make sure you get one! (BTW, for those select few of you who have never been to aVallen party, please come hungry and be ready to laugh. We are a pretty fun group and I know you will just have a great time! Plus, you get to meet our cute little star of the party (and no, I am not refferring to myself!)

  2. Make sure when you cut or get "C's" haircut that it's just a trim! I say this because cutting their hair INSTANTLY makes them look older and it's kinda sad! After all you want to keep them little for as long as you possibly can because they grow up so very quickly! :)

  3. Did you know there's a foundation that comes to families to take pictures of their children with life long illnessess with a CHD being one of them? I think that Gracie and her parents would qualify. Its called the Littlest Hero's project. Here's the link:

    http://www.littlestheroesproject.org/Littlest_Heroes_Project/Home.html

    They have to submit an application and if they are chosen (which I'm almost positive that they would be), the photographer comes to them for free. Its for the children, the parents and their awesome siblings. They also do it for parents who have lost their children (as long as you have a picture of them in your picture you want taken). I would check it out.

    C's a cute little thing!
