Pirate Baby is Ten Months Old!!!

My sweet boy is ten months old.  I can't believe it!  He is in to everything.  He pulls stuff out of cabinets and drawers, loves the bathroom, and just making a mess in general. We went and got his flu shot this week.  His weight at the visit was 20 lbs and 12 oz, which was the 25th percentile.  He likes to walk holding on to his wagon.  When he is hungry or tired he pulls up on my legs. Here is our most recent picture together:

Papa Pirate had a birthday....

Busy Busy Boy

So at six months little guy started crawling.  At his eight month birthday he started standing.  Now he is walking around holding on to furniture!!!  Where did my sweet baby go?  Some other eight month milestones are:

Weight: 19 lbs
Wears size three diapers
Started wearing 12 month clothes
He has 4 teeth
Babbles
Giggles
Loves the computer, fans, electrical cords, the dog's bowls, remotes, bathes, toys (esp other peoples), going to the pool, going to story time, going to the playground...

This week we are going to start a music class.  He LOVES singing in church! 

He eats all puree baby foods. 
Favorites: sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, and all fruits but banana
Least Favs but will still eat:  peas

Never ate the baby cereal.  Oh well.  He likes cheerios!!!  Kate loves them, as well.

The Pirate Family will live in a Purple House!

We finally made it to the Ocean State to look for a home.  We found the most appropriate home for an ECU Pirate family to live in... it is PURPLE!   It is a beautiful older home that we will be renting the bottom floor.  I can't wait to move and get settled.  This one bedroom apartment is way too small!

Got to go.  The little pirate is crying.  I promise to post again soon!

Long Time...No Post

Well...We have been super busy!

I think the list keeps getting longer and longer.  Probably should just post pictures since that is what the viewers really want. :)

Welcome Pirate Baby!

I know it has been a while.... but Pirate Baby arrived on December 20th and is perfect. He is a healthy boy weighing in at 5 lbs and 14 oz. Pirate Mama and Pirate Papa are doing great and love watching Pirate Baby sleep. Pirate Mama's family has been here celebrating the arrival of Pirate Baby and have been enjoying taking turns holding him.

Baby Update

On Monday we had good news.  The maternal-fetal medicine Doc said Baby Pirate looks good and he thinks that he is much bigger than what was estimated the week before.  Monday's ultrasound estimated 6 lb 9 oz!  So back to my regular Doc afterwards and then again today.  Why my Doc still writes SGA everywhere IDK?  Plan is to have a c-section on Monday.  Never thought I would need one of those.  I don't really want to be cut open.  I never liked to watch that part when I went to deliveries at work.  Too gruesome!  I also was hoping to start back running sooner than you can post c-section.  The only plus to a c-section (that I can think of)  is the lack of labor and maybe my makeup and hair will still look good since I won't have to sweat. I guess it has to be done...oh well.  Please continue to pray for Little Guy.

Clear Fluids

I am already not lovin' the clear fluids diet.  I hope I can make it all day with no food!!!

No changes this weekend.  No baby yet!
