Tommy Update

Tommy now has 5 teeth and is 29 inches long and 22 pounds.  He is such a happy boy and says "mama", "dada", and "nana".  He makes lots of sounds and is learning new things everyday.  He tries his hardest to lay on the cat much to Teddy's dismay.  I will try to post again soon.  Oh, he is crawling like crazy and pulling himself up on everything he can.  His favorite baby foods are sweet potatoes and butternut squash.  He loves his mamaw and Steph who watch him Monday-Wednesday.  We went to JcPenny for Christmas photos which would've been great except he like us didn't care for the photographer.

Tommy has 2 teeth now btw

Just wanted to make sure I document that

Tom and Shawn went on a road trip

So,  once again I'm in Columbus while family goes elsewhere.   Tom and Shawn went to Bowling Green, Kentucky to the annual Buick meet.   This year is the 100th or something.   Obviously, Little Tommy and I didn't go because the racetrack and such wouldn't work out for us so we decided I would stay home.   I made plans with Erica and had a great day with her.   Then i had MCL with mamaw.  It was after that it was weird to come home to a dark empty house.   Tommy though is the sweetest baby ever even though he's fighting a small cold right now.   On the plus side other than waking up a few times wondering where Tom was the baby and I slept fine.   Today we didn't do much but did visit Tom's family at Worley terrace.   Now we're home and waiting on Tom and Shawn to get here.   I pray for safe travels as they make it back to us.   Last I checked they were 3 hours away in Louisville.   Thanks to my mamaw and my awesome friend Erica these few days haven't been terrible.   Having my baby boy with me always makes things better, too.  That's all for now.

Diaper rant

Tommy was having a problem for a while of peeing through his diapers overnight.  He sleeps from 8 to 6 sometimes so I wanted to make him more comfortable.  I wasn't worried about the mattress because it's waterproof.  I tried a few different brands but he was too small to wear most of the actual overnight diapers.  I talked to my friend Emily who advised me to get the Pampers Baby Dry diapers.  Her reasoning was that the characters were wearing pajamas so therefore they're for night time.  LOL.  Well, needless to say we haven't had a problem since so thank you, Emily!

When Tommy doesn't like a kind of food he gags

I was trying bananas for the first time and he started gagging.  I thought hmm, that's weird and I looked at the ingredients.  It was bananas and lemon juice.  I thought hmm why lemon juice.  I figured ok I'll try bananas without the lemon juice added and sure enough he loved them.  No more baby food for us with added lemon juice.

Tommy's first photo shoot went well. Here is the proof

Tommy got his first tooth

I was checking his gums and he bit down and sure enough a tooth is through the gums.   Just wanted to document this so i wouldn't forget when it happened.   Well,  off to bed.
