Most Important Fact of the Day...

And I failed to mention the most important fact of the day. And because I forgot, I decided that it needed it's very own post......

Timothy is 5 months old today!!! yayaya Tbird!!! Mommy and Daddy love you! :)

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Today and Oh by the way, Pray for me!!

So Friday night Timothy and I went to Brandon's home football game. Timothy lasted for three plays once the game got under way! haha! So I guess he loves football!! :) Then at half time it started raining and Timothy and I headed home, but not until we drove through KFC, Timothy wanted some chicken! ;)





Then on Saturday, Timothy slept until 8:30!! WOWA!! We really didn't do anything on Saturday, other than hang out and watch movies. I didn't cook, we went through drive thru's for lunch and dinner.  I wanted to spend as much time as I could with Timothy and Brandon because Tuesday-Friday I am going to be traveling across the state. (That is where the pray me for me part comes into play!!) Timothy however had other ideas. He was in the worst little mood ever! His gums were bothering him and he didn't really get a nap because he kept waking up for different reasons.

Sunday we did a lot of the same thing! I went to Target to pick up some things Brandon is going to need this week, while he is by himself with Tbird. And we have guests staying with us for the Clemson game Saturday, so Brandon also washed the sheets on guest bed and did all the laundry for the week too!!

Then finally today... I didn't stop from the time I fed Timothy until I got home tonight. And I still haven't technically stopped! I am waiting for Brandon to come back downstairs to fix a spreadsheet I have to print out for our event tomorrow.  And I also had to pack because as soon as our event is over, I hop in a car and do the same event three more times this week across the state. More specifically in, Columbia, Florence and Charleston. So I always this event my tour de state! :)



Tonight has been really tough!  I am going to miss Timothy so much! I know traveling is going to be like  going back to work. The longer I do it, the easier it will be. Not that I miss him less, I will just get used it.  This will be the longest I have gone without seeing him since we were both in the hospital and they transfered him to Greenville. I have held Tbird for most of the night, but he has been really sleepy, so I have tried to leave him alone as much as possible. But this is how I look at it:  I will see him tomorrow morning, not Wednesday or Thursday (well in person, I will see him through Skype) and I will be back home Friday. So two days.....

And my in-laws are keeping him Tuesday-Friday because Melissa is on vacay and she is our back-up for taking and picking up Timothy when I am out of town because Brandon's work is too far away to get him there in time for him to get to work.  Plus, I know Brandon's dad will send me a ton of pictures, which will make my days go by much faster and easier!! :) AND, since I will be in a hotel, I will be able to work on adding all these pictures I have been talking about adding!! :) Anyway, I hope you all have a great night!! Until tomorrow!!

BEEP! BEEP!

I couldn't really think of a snazzy title to this post! So since I drove around for half of the day....beep beep seemed appropriate!

Timothy and I rode around in my car from 8:30-12:00 today! Sheesh, I know! I had to do it for work so I just decided it was easiest to take tbird with me.. He was so good! He talked to me a lot and blew bubbles and blew his lips! It's really cute when he does it! So when idroppex him off, I headed into the office.

Once in the office, I learned all about federal changes to the FAFSA and financial aid. Soo exciting! NOT! This pretty much took up my entire afternoon.

When Timothy and I got home I started dinner. We had lasagna. Yumm-o! Then I wemt and took a shower while Timothy had a major league meltdown!!! Brandon handled it as best he could, but when I came back down stairs I took over, and he was asleep in a matter of 30 minutes!

Well that was our exciting day! I promise I have been taking pics! I realize what a bore my blog can be without pics of Timothy! I just can't add them on the ipad, so I am going to try to find time tomorrow to add them.

Until tomorrow!

Can hunger be inherited???

When I dropped tbird off this morning he was in the best little mood just cooing and ooooing. Well when I went earlier than usual to see him at lunch, because of an afternoon meeting, he was screaming his little head off! But that was the first time since He has been there that, that has happened. And they were fixing his bottle as fast as they could! He was hungry! That's it! You would of thought someone had just hurt him! Nope, he just gets in a bad mood like mommy when he is hungry! Needless to say, I didn't take any pictures of him at lunch!

Then tonight we rode to Clemson to get diapers and dinner. Yes, I know, glamourous! On we got home Timothy decided he didn't want to wear his outfit anymore, and projectiles EVERYWHERE! All over him, me and our kitchen floor! It was bad!

After a quick bath, he stayed on and played on his activity mat for like an hour! Then Brandon and I decided that we would make him do some tummy time. He was super mad! And that ended that!

Then Brandon fed him and he went to sleep! I am hoping for the rest of the night!! :)

Until tomorrow!!

Life is a Moving Target

I was just watching some tv when a new target commercial came on, and at the end-- the tag line "Life is a Moving Target" I stopped and thought to myself, "well yes it is, thank you Target!"

I am a huge TLC fan  with shows like 19 Kids and Counting, Kate Plus 8 and the Cake Boss. And I am admitting on my blog, I am a sucker for Teen Mom on MTV. These shows really seem to put my life and our life as a family into prospective. Now, I have always loved these shows, but having Timothy, I get it now!

As far as my day went today: I dropped Timothy off and went straight into a meeting! Blahhh! And was in there until noon! Then I had lunch and visited with Timothy for about ten minutes and headed back to work. The rest of my afternoon was a blur.. work, work, work!

When I picked Timothy up he had just finished a bottle and was hanging out on the floor. We drove through Burger King on the way home so mommy could get a an ICEE!!

At home, I was exhausted! I begged Brandon not to make me cook, and fell asleep for two hours on the couch! While I was sleeping Brandon kept Timothy occupied by playing and feeding him.  They then went upstairs and I haven't heard a peep out of either one of them for a few hours now.

I don't think I say it to enough, but I am so blessed to have Brandon. He is partner and best friend in life.  He takes care of our family and loves the Lord! Could there be anything better??

Another cool thing I failed to mention in my post yesterday, my dad got something in the mail the other day that is worth blogging about.

 He opened a package the other day to find a book and a note in it. The note was from a guy he went to undergraduate school at Taylor University with. The man said in the letter that my dad did a demonstration on karate for students at Taylor. My dad is a world champion black belt, among many other amazing things he has done in life. He actually even competed against and with Chuck Norris! They were on a national team together and got to compete at Madison Square Gardens in the U.S. vs. Orient.  But that is another story for another time. Anyway, the letter went on to talk about what an impact my dad had been on him, and he sent the book, because he mentioned MY dad in it!! It was pretty incredible.

It really just made me think about the impact we have on others. Even when we don't realize it. Even when we think we haven't touched folks at all!

Anyway, I am trying to get my precious uninterrupted tv/me time in while I can!! So, until tomorrow!

Where Would I Be Without My Baby???


Last week when I told you all that you would hear from me the next day, I fully intended for you to hear from me. But my computer had other ideas!


I just got my computer back late Friday afternoon because the motherboard had to be replaced in it and the wireless had to be replaced as well! Needless to say, being without a computer for 5 days was absolutely miserable.

So here is what happened since we last talked (minus computer issues). Well work was really interesting without a computer! I did lots of random stuff all week!

Tuesday-- I made lemon pepper chicken over pasta. Very yummy! Brandon wasn’t a huge fan, because he didn’t like the glaze I put on top of it. So next time, maybe no glaze! After dinner Brandon went upstairs and went to bed until Timothy’s 11:30 feeding. With the students coming back, and the stress of the new job and just life, I think he was worn out! So Timothy and I let him sleep!





Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Timothy was the best when we got home. He slept. Each night, for like two hours after we got home! So that allowed me to cook each night, without any interruption, and then Brandon and I got to eat, without any interruptions!

Wednesday-- I was the sleepy one! And Brandon had to work a little late, so he picked us up a pizza on the way home. Then I proceeded to sleep until like midnight. It was really nice to rest. All last week I was still trying to recover from not getting a weekend!










Thursday—I was all excited because we were going to make breakfast for dinner!! One of our favorite meals! Plus, I was going to the bacon pancake recipe! YUMM-O! Well when Brandon got home, he decided that he would rather do brats than have breakfast, so I let him go ahead and do that. It also saved me from having to cook!



Friday—When I went to pick Timothy up, he was supposed to eat at like 5:15, so I let Miss Bonnie go ahead and feed him so I wouldn’t have to worry about it during dinner. We went to Sardis Friday night!! I of course got the chefs special. Half rack of ribs, wings, potato and salad! Sardis never lets me down! They are always amazing!!



Saturday—Brandon’s dad came and got Timothy at 9:30 that morning so that Brandon and I could clean and work on the house. So we worked most of the day on everything, and then relaxed for a little while before going to Sam’s and Babies R Us. We then went and had Mexican that night for dinner. We both really wanted Olive Garden, but refused to wait the hour or so we would have to wait to eat there. So the Mexican was a great choice because we didn’t have to wait at all!!

Sunday—We got up and headed to Greenville to finally give my dad his birthday gift and spend time with them. We ate at Lieu’s… again YUMM-O!! And then we AC Moore’s and Party City, to look for more stuff for Timothy’s first birthday. Yes, I know, we still have a while, but I want to buy stuff little by little, so that I am not trying to break the bank a week before his birthday! Plus, the colors I want to use are “summery” colors, so I have been able to find lots of stuff on discount. I actually went to CVS last week for formula, and came out with table cloths and buckets for his party! Ha-ha!

Last night we went through Wendy’s for dinner. I got the new Spicy Chicken Caesar. I am big fan of Caesar salads anyway, but then when you had spicy chicken on top, you have made a salad perfect for me!

We then watched two of our favorite shows, Leverage and Army Wives. It was the Army Wives season finale, and Brandon called the rescue! We both just looked at each other when it happened the way he said it should! Right before going to bed, we sat and watched Timothy sleep. Really trying to appreciate the perfect gift God gave us. I was just so taken back, watching him and loving him. Looking at him and the immense love I have for him, it makes wonder how that lady in Orangeburg could pull a Susan Smith and drowned her precious gifts from God? It makes me sick!

On a brighter note, I love my baby!!


This one is so cute, I had to post it twice!! :)

iPad post

I ha e been so swamped at work and then after work, I haven't had time to post about my crazy busy work weekend! Blah! On top of that, something is going on with our MacBook,so I am attempting to do this post via our iPad! Only downside so far, I can't post pics. :( but I will make time to add some tomorrow.

Friday- One word, crazy! On top of the fact that I cut 20 tomatoes for homemade salsa, but I also made guacamole too! I was up until midnight just doing that! Then I fed Timothy and finally got in bed. Friday was crazy with visitors and training students and then preparing for move-in on Saturday.

Saturday- Got up super early then went and worked our check-in. I got to personally check-in roughly 300 students! Yay! We worked until 6:30 that night! After I got off Brandon and I drove to Greenville to eat with my parents for my dads birthday! Side bar: This year, dads bday only lasted a weekend. This is a big improvement over the month it used to take! Haha! After dinner Brandon and drove to his parents house to pick up Timothy. When we got there Brandon's mom told us that Brandons dad had fog to the hospital with Granny because of some stomach issues she was having. Luckily, she is ok.

Then Sunday, I had to work again! I luckily got off about 1:00. Then I got to spend the afternoon with my baby boy! Brandon had to go into work about three, so we didn't get to spend a lot of time together on Sunday. Brandon did come home and grill jalapeno burgers! YUMMY!

Monday- brandons students cane back so his day was total chaos, just like mine! My day was so nuts, Brandon just picked up pizza for us on the way home. Not to mention, I had a horrible headache! Boo!

Then today... I had a huge report due for work, that basically took me ALL day! I went and saw Tbird at lunch and he was being soo good! (like always!) then tonight I finally made the cube steak and Mac and cheese I talked about last week! And currently i am typing with my left hand, and holding a pac in Timothys mouth with the right! He got hungry about half an hour ago, but we are trying to stretch it out to 11:30 so he will sleep the rest of the night.

Well, that's all I got tonight. I still have to take a shower and get Timothy ready for daycare. So until tonrrow!

Crazy Times and Weekend Preview

Sorry I have been away for a couple of days! Here is what is going on:

Wednesday night- We had friends over dinner and we hung out with them and Timothy for the evening.

Thursday-- We had the "opening meeting" at work that is full of great information, but takes for-ever to get through like 9-12 to get through it all!! Thursday afternoon when I finally got out of the meeting and got to go to lunch, I called my daddy, cause it was his birthday!! :) We talked for a while and we are going to see him tonight, after I get off work! I then went and saw Timothy on my lunch break too! He had just eaten so I held him until he fell asleep on my chest. It was really nice to spend that time with him! :) Here is a picture of what he had on yesterday, he kept moving his legs, so this is like the fourth attempt I made to get him! :)


He apparently didn't want anyone to know his name! :)

Then last night because I had so much to do and Brandon had to work late, we ate leftovers, separately. I hate when we don't get to eat with one another, that is our special time together, so it stinks!! :( But once he got home, I jetted off to the grocery store because I was making pasta salad for him to take to work today and homemade guacamole and homemade salsa for me to take to work today! It took me two hours and 20 tomatoes 13 onions and 2 avocados to make all that for 35 people today! It was nuts! ( I will post pics later of the decor) We are hosting our student workers for dinner tonight and I was volunteered voluntold to make salsa and guac for everyone!! I guess that is what I get for always bringing in food for everyone! :)

When the night starting winding down, I gave Timothy his final bottle of the night. When he finished he did not want to go right to sleep like he normally does, so I held him for a little while longer. When I finally got to lay him down, my plan was to get in shower. Well I fell asleep! I woke up at 2:30 this morning to realize that I was going to have to get up early and take shower! So I set my alarm for 10 minutes earlier than normal, so I could get up and get ready in time!

Here is the cute picture of Timothy today! Please, sorority sisters, note the lion! :) I have decided he will most def. love Phi Mu's when he goes to college!! :)

Too cute huh!?!? I just wish he wasn't scared of the flash!!

I Must Confess... I am a Liar!

Pic of the Day: Timothy in his crib at daycare yesterday!! :)
Yesterday I told you all that I was making cube steak for dinner. Well, that was a big fat lie!

After my post yesterday, Brandon sent me text saying that he was going to have to work late. So I decided that after i picked up Timothy we would take a quick trip to Greenville and pick up Lieu's for dinner!! 

Lieu's is seriously one of my top, top favorite restaurants EVER, and it is just a hop, skip and jump away. Unfortunately, my husband does not share the same warm fuzzy feelings I have for Lieu's. He doesn't like any type of Chinese food. Which is funny, (well sort of) because right before Brandon and I started dating, I told on my friends Samantha that I could NEVER date someone who didn't like Chinese food! Well low and behold, I MARRIED him! :)  

So Timothy and I got in the car and off to Greenville we went. I called when I was about 15 minutes out and it was ready when I got there! When Timothy and I got home, I attempted to feed him first, but he didn't want it. Then not 20 minutes into me eating my food, he starts crying wanting to be fed! He is such a little stink pot!

After I fed him I attempted to eat again. Well he then treated me to the biggest poop diaper ever! GROSS!! Once I got him changed and happy again he fell asleep so I then was able to eat my wonderful meal!! :)
Then I fell asleep right beside T-bird and his bouncer until Henry and Harper started going nuts because Brandon came home.

Once Brandon came in and could take over caring for Timothy I went in the kitchen and washed bottles and got everything ready for dinner tonight, so all I had to do is pop it in the oven! We are having mostaccioli
That link is to a recipe for mostaccioli, not the exact one I use, but I can't give you that one, it's a family secret! :) It doesn't take a ton of prep time, but I knew with Timothy in tow, I was going to be pressed for time since we are having dinner guests tonight.

So when I get home today, all I am going to have to do is pop the mostaccioli in the oven with the garlic bread and make salads. It should be a pretty good dinner! I will let you know how it all turned out tomorrow.

I had a really interesting morning. I led a devotional to college students this morning. My topic was "faith in God" and I spoke about us having Timothy early, all the close calls we had, etc. But the best part was, I got to bring Timothy as my visual aid! :) He was so cute he smiled at the group the whole time! He is turning from a very serious baby, to one big ole ham, just like his mommy!

Anyway, more details tomorrow! Until then, have a fabulous day!!

Just Another Day in the Blackwell Home

When Timothy and I got home from work yesterday, I put him in his bumbo so I could start prepping things for dinner. He was really good and sat there until I was finished.
I made French's Fried Onion Chicken and garlic mashed potatoes.

It was the first time I had ever made the chicken and it was really good! Nice and moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. Brandon's mom just made it a couple weeks ago and talked about how good it was, so I thought we should give it a whirl! Then we had Peanut Butter Pie for dessert! Yummy!!

After we ate we sat at the table talking and Timothy was getting fussy just watching us, so Brandon picked him and I got this cute picture of the two of them! :)

Again, my child looks like a deer in the headlights, but I promise, it's that stinking flash!


After we ate we went upstairs and watched tv in bed. Brandon said he was really tired and wanted to be able to stretch out. So Timothy went into his Nap Nanny while we watched  tv. But poor little bird, his gums started really bothering him! So I had to put some medicine on them so he could rest comfortably.

After I gave him his last bottle at 11:00, he slept until 7 am again!! I again had to wake him up so I would have time to feed him and get myself ready. I am so glad he has been sleeping better!

I put him in a cute little crab outfit today! So adorable, I had to take a picture!



Tonight I am making cube steak and macaroni and cheese for dinner! Yummy!! Not at all in any way good for, but who cares, it tastes so good! :) Hope you have a great rest of your day!

Until Tomorrow!

My Blogging Vacay..Well Sort Of

Good Morning!!
I have taken a few days off blogging! I know, I know everyone is dying to know the details of the end of last week and this past weekend, and I have let you down!

Thursday.. I was sick! Gross sick! And I had Timothy with me too, so I slept when he slept, which was only a little bit. Brandon picked us up Piggassos BBQ on his way home. We really didn't do anything exciting Thursday night because Brandon felt bad too, so we both took some medicine and put T-bird to bed!

Friday.. I went to work but I still barely had a voice. But I made it through the day ok. Friday was a teacher work day for Timothys daycare, so Brandon's parents kept him. So I didn't get to go see him at lunch! :(  Boo!

When Brandon finally got home Friday night (they were crazy busy!) He wanted to go to Nmi. And I was totally for that! We sat at the sushi bar since I called like 5 minutes before we were going to show up. But sitting right there was really fun! We got to watch them make all the sushi and I asked questions about different stuff was. We then went to Brandon's parents house and picked Timothy up.

Saturday was a busy chore day for us. I went to the grocery store and picked up like three weeks of groceries for us! Brandon cut the grass and did laundry and then we started straightening up other areas of the house as well. Saturday night I made a whole chicken for dinner dressed in rosemary, with a side of stuffing. It was really good! I haven't made one in a while.
His Cap Facing Forward

To the Side!

Backwards!



Daddy Love!!
Sunday we had lunch at Moe's in Clemson. And just really vegged out most of the day! Then last night for dinner we put a pizza in the oven. And watched our Sunday night shows. After the shows and the news went off, we gave Timothy a bath! I know I have said it before, but he loves his baths! I then gave him his bottle with rice cereal in it, and he slept until 7:00 AM!! I had to wake him up to feed him because I was going to have to get ready for work! He took the whole bottle and I sat him in his Nap Nanny while I got ready. He was so funny this morning! He just talked to me and laughed while I was getting ready. He was in a great mood! We then went through Chick-fil-a since we were a few minutes ahead of schedule (for once!) so mommy could get some breakfast.

When I dropped him off his daycare room had been redecorated. That was one of the things they had to do on the teacher workday. They did it all in avation stuff, it's really cute! 

I am having lunch with Heather at one of my favorite eatery's.... The Sweetery!! YUMMY!! It is her last day before she has to go back! :( Booo!! NO more fun lunches for a while! So, now we are caught up and I promise I am off my blogging vacay! Have a great day!!

Not My Baby-- But Timothy's BFF, Sloan!! We love him!! :)

Another One of My Life Tangents

My cutie this morning, stetching it out!! He was still trying to wake up! :)


On the way home from work, Brandon called me to tell me that he had a terrible head ache and wanted to come in and take a shower because he had been moving stuff all day, and he was glistening  sweating bullets!
So when he came in he told the whole family hello, and headed upstairs.

When he came back down after his shower I offered to make dinner, so I went in the kitchen and started making rigatoni with marinara sauce. I had already started cooking it when I reached back into my cabinet for another box of pasta when a tiny black bug fell out with the unopened pasta. EWWWW!!! I called for Brandon to come in the kitchen and I told him that his dinner was ready, but I had to clean out that cabinet since I found a bug! Well, here is where another classic "Tiffany life tangent" comes into play. I start by cleaning out the cabinet. When it is clean, I start on the one below it, which has a lazy susan. Then I reorganize the cabinet above that. Long tangent short- I cleaned out all but two of the cabinets in my kitchen! I would of done the others but Brandon was getting edgy about the trash can being too full before Thursday, when the trash collectors come.

Meanwhile, Timothy was being such an amazing baby! It's like he knew daddy didn't feel well and mommy thought she was on a mission from God to reorganize and clean! ha! He just laid on his activity mat being so good! He was talking and kicking, he almost got that over arm and shoulder over to roll. Brandon and I keep waitng, as soon as he figures out what to do with that other arm, our days are numbered! He will be a rolling fool!!

After Brandon ate, he went upstairs to rest a little in hopes of the head ache going away. I finally sat down to eat dinner myself, and Timothy was getting a little bit fussy. His poor gums are bothering him so much! At daycare I rubbed a little medicine on them, when I went to see him at lunch. And they were killing him last night, so I gave him a little more medicine. It was just enough to soothe him and help him sleep for a little while.

Once the 11:00 news was over, I went upstairs and woke Brandon up so he could feed Timothy and I could get ready for bed. (Before you think bad thoughts about me as a wife, it is Brandon's week to do the late night feeding, and I asked him how he felt before I had him get up and actually feed Timothy. )

So once I was tucked nicely in bed, I read another chapter of my book on the ipad!! (I have told y'all how much I love that thing??) I am reading Molly Harper's And One Last Thing... It is a cute fictional book about a wife that found out her husband was cheating on her with his secretary, because flowers for the other woman were delivered to her house by mistake!! I am really enjoying the book so far!

Timothy slept until 6:15 this morning! YAYA!! So I got up and fed him and once he was finished eating, he went right back to sleep! It was like he just needed a little snack or something. I too then laid back down and slept for until 7:30 when I finally dragged myself out of bed to get ready for the work day! My little boy was sleeping soundly until I picked him and dressed him!

Timothy's and the Spoon!

So I was trying to wait to post today until I could upload the videos with the post, but Brandon is having trouble getting the video to load so it will have to wait!

Last night Timothy had his first adventure with rice cereal by itself. Here are some of the highlights of the first sampling, Oh, and yes we did take his clothes off as a matter to keeping as clean as possible!

The funniest thing about it is the fact that he finally got the hang of it, but instead of  pulling the food in his mouth like normal, he lapped it up like Henry and Harper do water! Maybe he is spending too much time with the poodles?!? haha!
Him wanting more, sorry camera phone doesn't take the best pictures



Trying to get his picture while he moved, so it is a little blurry!





Empty bowl! First attempt... SUCCESS!!
Finally a good one! He looks like he is thinking, "MOM I am FULL!!"

Weekend Warriors

Friday night we went to Greenville and spent time with my parents. We got home entirely too late, especially since we had a little boy who had gotten shots that day.
Before Timothy stated feeling bad, with his PapaCobus


Mom snapped this one of Timothy and I sleeping after we gave him some medicine


While at my parents, dad said Timothy felt a little hot to him so we gave him some baby/infant Target Brand Tylenol. Timothy was loving life for a few hours on that stuff! But once we were home and it started wearing off, he woke up every hour on the hour!

At 10 the next morning, Brandon took his temperature and it was 100.1, not terrible, but not good either. We decided then that going to Bobby and Sam's would be a game time decision. We gave Timothy some more medicine fed him and put him down for a nap. He slept for the next five hours!! When he woke up the fever was gone and he seemed to be a lot less cranky! ( Those darn shots, I guess they would put me in a bad mood too!)
I snapped this while he was taking his 5 hour nap!

So we decided at 5:15 we would go to the party. We all got dressed and out the door in about an hour, which is really good for us these days!! :) When we got to Bobby and Sam's pretty much everyone was there. Almost all of our friends have children, so all the kids were running around playing; having a big time! While the adults and Timothy and Sloan (the only two of the bunch that can't walk yet) hung out on the porch while the Lowcountry Boil cooked. Once ready, the lines formed! Heather and I went together to get our plates and Ray joined us, while Annie held Timothy. When Annie decided she wanted to eat too, I had her put Timothy down in Sloan's swing. Well that did not last long! As soon as Heather finished eating she went inside and picked Timothy up! She just can't resist my boy! :) After staying entirely too late, and having a fussy baby, we went home! We got Timothy in bed about 12:45 that night.

The next morning, I fed Timothy at 5:30 and he went back to sleep until 9:30 when Brandon got up with him because I was so exhausted from the night before! After I got up we took Timothy to Brandon's parents house so we could go to Commerce for Brandon to find  some pants and to use some coupons we have. Well little did we know, it was Georgia's tax free weekend!! It took us for-ever to get into the stores! But once we did, we both walked away with some pretty good deals!


As you can see, he felt much better on Sunday at Nana and Papa's
After we picked Timothy up we went and picked up dinner and Timothy some more formula and headed home. We watched two of favorite shows, Leverage and Army Wives, both of which Timothy did not cry during, so that was a big bonus! But I think he was gearing up for grand finale for the evening. While Brandon gave him his final bottle of the night, I was upstairs reading a book I downloaded on the ipad. I had been reading for a half an hour so when Brandon brought Timothy upstairs. He laid him in the nap nanny and had just enough time to walk into the bathroom when: blahhh...blahh...blahhhh happened! Timothy threw up what looked to be all five ounces of formula! Brandon and I just looked at each other! It was all over me, all over the nap nanny and all over our bed, where the nap nanny was at the time. So once we got everything cleaned up, Brandon decided to feed him again, because he thought if he didn't Timothy would wake up in like an hour starving. So he made another rice cereal bottle and fed Timothy. This time, it stayed down. YAYA! And Timothy stayed asleep from 12:30-7:00 this morning!! That is a new record! So at 7 I got him up and fed him and got ready for work.

Here is a quick shot from this morning!! Look how cute he is!! :)


His cute little tractor trailer shortall! Honk, Honk!
