7 months!

Lil Boo is 7 months old today! We can't believe how much he's grown. I thought he was a handful before, well now he's just so busy and so interested in everything!! Squirmy wormy!
We love you Boo!

Birthday Wishes!

We'd like to wish Aunt R a Happy Birthday today!!

Not Me Monday

It's Monday folks! Time for those confessions! I'll start...

I did not rewind Baby Einstein right before it ended so that Boo would be entertained a little longer so B-man and I could finish supper together.

I did not fall asleep on the couch listening to the Clemson game on the radio and wake myself up snoring!!

I did not take my baby into a liquor store, stroller and all, to buy a bottle of wine for wine night. Nope, not me! In my defense, they don't sell wine at grocery stores here, you have to go to the liquor store...you just don't have to take your baby. ;)

Ok, your turn!!

Just some photos today.

Go Tigers! Beat the Terps!

Go Hogs! Beat the Longhorns!
Unfortunately, we already know how the Clemson game turned out. Boo.

And it will be a miracle if the Hogs pull one out over the Longhorns.

Tubby Time!

Talking to Daddy


Playing at infant playgroup. He's getting better! I usually have to hold him the whole time. Yesterday he played for a while, and then I had to hold him the rest of the time. But, he's getting better!

He loved the paper on the table at the doctor's office. Where can we get some for the house??

Up on his hands and two big toes!

Prayers Please

Update:
Well, Boo's ultrasound shows that he still has mild hydronephrosis on the left side. So, that means he will have to prophylactically take antibiotics everyday to prevent infection in his kidney. We're still not sure if the swelling is due to reflux from the bladder or a problem at the kidney/ureter junction. So, Boo will have a voiding cystourethrogram to determine if urine is flowing from the bladder into the ureters. If it is reflux, I think we'll still be taking a wait and see approach to see if he will outgrow the condition. If the x-ray doesn't show reflux, we'll probably be in for further testing to see what is going on at the kidney/ureter juncture.

What does this mean clinically? Not a whole lot. Meaning, Boo has no idea there is something not right with his urinary system. He's just happy being a growing boy! We were praying for total resolution of the problem and although that has not happened yet, we're very hopeful and are totally aware of our blessings with respect to Boo's health. He is not a sickly child by any stretch of the imagination and is thriving on all fronts. Praise God for that!

Thank you for your prayers and we ask that you continue them.

We're off to the urologist this a.m. for Boo's follow up appointment. Prayers that everything is normal are greatly appreciated. Will update later.

Not Me Monday

I've been checking out a blog by a woman who calls herself MckMama. She has 3 beautiful children and one on the way. Stellan, the one on the way, was diagnosed with severe heart problems in utero and wasn't expected to live through the pregnancy, much less life outside of the womb. Well, through miracle, this little guy is thriving in his mama's belly and will make his world wide debut in a few short weeks.

Anyway, MckMama decided to host "Not Me Monday" after therapeutically telling us all one day about all of the things she did not do (read, what she did do but would normally never tell)!

So, here's what I did NOT do recently....

I did not lay beside G-Boo on the floor and nap while he watched Baby Einstein!

I did not eat the rest of G-Boo's baby food sweet peas because I was hungry and he didn't eat them all, and hey, they're not half bad!

I did not eat 3 Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the way home from the grocery store and tell B-man when I got home that it's a good thing we didn't live further from the store, because I would have eaten more.

Nope, not me!!

What have you not done recently??
Come on, I know there's something. And it's fun to see how we're all alike!!!
I'm noticing a food and sleep theme in my confessions.
