Tuesday Tidbits!!

Thought that was a catchy name! Well Mr. Dalton woke up at 6am. I got him & put him in my bed & made him lay down with me until 7am. I want his clock to get set for 7am or LATER if possible. Poor boy was wet again, I think that is why he woke up. I wish I could figure out how to keep him from getting soaking wet. He is such a sweet boy. We were at a store today & a little boy about 2 or 3 was standing with his mother & Dalton was making all kinds of noises to get him to smile at him. The little boy just looked at him like "I am not going to smile so stop"! Well Dalton just smiled & laughed at him. He loves to see other little children & smile at them. It is so cute. Can't wait until he is old enough to play with other children. He is so social just like ME!

Dalton slept until almost 7am again. YEA! Maybe the worm has turned on this sleeping thing for now. I believe we have more teeth coming. The 2 next to the top 2 teeth. Randa & Keller came over yesterday & we had a fun day swimming. I can't wait until Dalton gets walking so he & Keller can play together. Dalton really likes Keller, he just watched him & wanted to touch him. Dalton is a little rough, he is a baby & does not understand the pulling hair thing yet. He will learn. Looking forward to a day with little rain!!!! I HOPE! God we love the rain but could you PLEASE hold off for a few days.

WOW!!!

OK I hope this is a new trend with Dalton. It was 7am again!!!! Gosh I have not had this much sleep since before I was pregnant!! It is going to be a great day today! Everyone have one too!

GREAT NIGHT SLEEP FOR MOMMY!!!

Well Dalton sleep from 8:30am until 7am this morning!! YEA!!! He is such a good boy. Daddy was off today for the first time in over 15 days!! YEA Dalton is so excited to see his daddy in the morning!! He missed that.

The Best Laugh EVER!

OK here is the best laugh ever!!! Well at least this mama thinks so!!! Daddy was bouncing a ball & he must have thought it was hilarious!! Enjoy! http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h111/hphilmon/Dalton/?action=view&current=af4edcc5.flv

9 months today!!!!

Dalton is 9 months today, I can not believe it!!! It feels like yesterday that he was born. I just think he is the best kid ever!! Despite the night wakings, he is just perfect. He is an angel most of the time. He is becoming such a hugger. This morning I got him out of bed (at 6:45am YEA) after sleeping all night & he hugged me for the longest time. It is priceless!!! I can just see him running around! That will be sooner then I want I think. I am already planning his birthday. I think I am going to do the cars theme. Daddy & him love to watch Nascar so I think that would be appropriate. But He also loves Disney clubhouse so I will have to think on it. The lady that made my beautiful shower cake is going to make his one year cake. She is going to also make a special little one for him to smash!! Gotta love that! Well off to get ready for the day!!!

What a great day so far with Dalton. He has been great! I found out he likes hash browns. The Dr said I could give him big people food as long as it is one item. No Hamburger helper yet!! All that know me know I can't cook!!! He is taking a nap right now. What a good boy. Have a wonderful & blessed day everyone!

Saturday Blues!!

Well Darrel is working for his 13 day in a row!!! I like some alone time but this is getting to be abit much. I think Dalton really misses him too because when he comes home around 8pm he stays up until 10pm to play with him. We try to put him down but he just wants to play with Daddy. Next weekend will be great, Darrel will be off & we can have some family time. Because the following weekend is when I go to my Scrapbooking retreat. I am really looking forward to it. I think I have all my supplies ready. I am going to get some sleep. Everyone says you won't want to sleep but they don't have a teething 9 month old! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT!

Ok I may never sleep again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is 1am & I am up. Dalton is getting up every night now! I don't know what to do. I let him cry while I stood over his bed. I rubbed his back & finally (so I thought) he fell asleep. I went into bed & about 10 mins. later boom he was crying again! I am at the end of my rope! We have been playing this game for 3 weeks now. I don't know if it is teeth or what! I gave him motrin when he woke up. He is in our bed now which means I can't sleep. I am scared I will roll over on him. I don't want him thinking he can sleep in our bed. I went from having a kid that sleep great through the night to one that DOESN'T!!!!!! I just want to scream!!! Ok I have vented now. Now I will go to the couch (my new bed) & hope to get a couple hours of sleep!!! HAHA!!!!!!!!!

Teething Tuesday!!

Ok, I think that we have 2 more teeth coming in. The one's on each side of the 2 front teeth. There are bumps & I can see some white. That would explain the getting up during the night. My poor boy is getting all his teeth so close together. Hope they let up some. He took a 3 hour nap today!!

Cleaning Monday!!

Well today I am cleaning (or suppose to be). Dalton is at Grandma's house. I am trying to do some through cleaning while I don't have a baby under foot!! Poor boy this morning's nap he got his legs caught in the bars of his bed & could not get them out. He cried & cried. He was not injured just scared. I guess the more they move the more spots he will get in & not be able to get out. It's all a learning process for him. Well I better get back to cleaning!!!! Time is a wasting!!

Missing Daddy!

Darrel has a shut-down at work (he works at a chemical plant) & he has been there all weekend long. Dalton misses him I think. He came home tonight & he just smiled & squealed. Dalton's sister Maeve is coming over this week. We are really excited about that. I am too because I need a break from being the holder of the baby for awhile. He is needy right now & my back is giving out!!!! She loves him so much & will have a great time with him.

Friday the 13th!!!

Well I took Dalton to the DR., of course I was being paranoid!! Said I was but you know better safe then sorry! She said that this is the time they start to get dreams (good or bad ones). Also she said also that because he is not eating food just formula that he could be hungrier. So that eased my fears. He also has the rash that he has under his neck from drooling forever. She gave me a prescription creme for that. Hope that helps. He is 30" long & weighs 27 lbs. Boy he is going to be a strapping man!! He is my chubbier! I just love him the way he is. I get all the time WOW he is so big for his age. You know people really need to keep their comments to themselves. I sometimes get my feelings hurt. I am more sensitive then most people would think. If you know me you would not think so. I really don't care what people think about my baby boy. You know he is mine & if he is chunky so what. I say worry about yourself & your own family. Ok enough about that!! He had a great day. We had a long day at the Dr.'s office. She takes forever to see but she is very helpful & takes time to make sure all your questions are answers. I hate a DR. that rushes you!! Especially when it is about your child. If it was me oh well!! Good night to all!

HOT HOT Thursday!

First it is sooooooo HOT & HUMID here!!!! You walk outside & just start sweating. My deodorant is working overtime here!! The pool water is 90 degrees! GREAT for just jumping in. Feels wonderful! Today was a good nap day for Dalton. He slept for 3 hours this afternoon. He went down for bedtime by 8pm. Hoping he does NOT WAKE UP before 6:30am!!! We will see! I am taking him to the DR tomorrow. I have his 9 month check the first week of August but I am just concerned about him not wanting to eat from a spoon & sleeping issues. I want to make sure that he does not have an ear infection. I guess I am paranoid actually I know I am!!! I just love him so much & don't want him to be uncomfortable. I am sure that he is perfectly normal but better safe then sorry! He is so sweet he is hugging alot now. He is trying to give kisses but you all know that they are open mouth!! HaHa! He is rocking still but no crawling yet. I am sure when he does I will say "OH I wish he was still rocking" I see little kids walking & think soon enough soon enough! Right now I have total control over where he is. He is still a little clingy!!! I feel like the only person on earth with a baby that wakes up in the middle of the night! I know I am not but is hard to think otherwise. Well good night to all!!!

Long Night!

Well Dalton got up about 12:30am and stayed up until about 2:30am. Don't know what his problem was. I of course did not go back to sleep. So I have had about 1 hours sleep & not in the best of moods! Being a parent is really hard!!!!!!!!! Especially in the middle of the night! He stopped eating baby food & will only eat what he can put in his mouth. He goes to the Dr. for his nine month checkup soon, I am so glad because I have lots of questions! Hope he takes a nap today so I can too! It is a long time before Daddy gets home.

I just know that Dalton will be crawling or trying to walk soon. He is so active. When you hold him he moves allot! Boy his teeth are really taking shape now! His 2 top teeth are almost all the way down now. Again I did not realize how long they take to come in. He got to swim on Sunday for the first time in about a week and a half because of all the rain we have had. This is the most rain we have got in the summer that I can ever remember. Usually we are praying for the rain, now we are praying for it to stop for awhile. Thank goodness we have not had too many mosquito's. They are usually really bad after rain. Dalton sleep until 6:20am Sunday morning. I hope he does the same or better today. He stopped eating baby food for some reason. He just wants to eat finger foods right now. He eats crackers, cut up fruit & some of those graduate wheels. I read that they sometimes refuse baby food & just want to eat what they can put in their mouths. Who knows! If he keeps this up I guess I will call the doctor. He will not starve to death!! Have a great day everyone!

Dog Lover in the making!

Well what a great day today. We were at my parents & Dalton hugged their dog Lily. It was so cute, he just bend over & hugged her. We were all surprised. We got a picture of it. He loves her, she is so fun running after her toy. I think he will be a real dog lover. He does love bailey too. Bailey watches over him all the time. When I answer the door Bailey stays by Dalton to guard him. What great buddies they are going to be. I got Dalton this Zebra that he can ride & it rolls. Of course we have to roll him but when he gets the hang of it he will be all over the house. Well he is in bed & I am working on his scrapbook. I hope to have it caught up soon. I am glad I started it now & did not wait years to do it. It is hard to remember stuff & it has only been a little over 8 months. Years & I would be in trouble! Glad I started this!

Happy 4th of July!!

Well this was Dalton's First 4th of July!

It was a Rainy day here, we went to Grandma's & Grandpa's and had lunch.

Glad Dalton is small this 4th because of the rain he is not going to get to see fireworks! We took this picture after a walk, the short time it was not rainy.

Next year he will just love them more anyway!!

Here is a picture of the Happy Patriotic Boy!

LONG NIGHTS!

Boy Dalton used to be such a good sleeper but for about a week now he has become a terrible sleeper! I don't know if it is his teeth or what!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could figure it out. But right now it is 1 am & I am up because he just woke up!! I am so tired! I feel like I will never sleep well again! I thought it might be his teeth but who knows. He can't tell me & I guess I am not a tuned in mother yet because I can't figure it out!!! I get sick of hearing mother's say oh my baby has always sleep great!! Well aren't you lucky!!! But don't tell a person that is having trouble that you did not!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Make them feel worse then they already do!! Please God let me sleep again!!!!!

Monday's are long!!

Dalton is starting to be very NEEDY!! I can hardly leave the room without him crying! He is also starting to be hard to get down for naps. He is easy at night but naps are getting hard again. He was so good until about a week ago. I don't know what I am doing wrong. It might be his teeth but it could be me. He is still a sweet boy & happy except when naps come. He won't go down until he is really tired. Tomorrow Dalton is going to spend a few hours with Grandma & Grandpa. He will have a blast!

Crawfish Boil!

Well we went it was hot but fun! Dalton did great. He was a perfect angel. Everyone thought he was great. What a good boy! Now we are off to Grandma's!!
