Can I just start off by saying that I LOVE Thanksgiving break!? It’s been so great so far! Let me fill you in on some of the fun details!
Monday
On Monday, my friend Sarah and I had our very own relaxing day of pamperage! We dropped the babies off at daycare bright and early (hey, we had to pay them anyway right?!), and headed off to Starbucks to get a little breakfast, and then on to the nail place to get some manicures and pedicures.
I embarrassingly hadn’t had a pedicure since May, and it was much needed! I love my baby boy, but sometimes I miss being able to take care of myself too.
After we were all fixed up, we headed to get some lunch. We chose a restaurant that our hubbies don’t like, and enjoyed being able to take our time and enjoy a meal out. I had so much fun, and it was definitely much needed!
When lunch was over, I headed over to get my 10-month old at daycare! That’s right! I now have a 10-month old child. We celebrated by going to the doctor. Landon has had an ear infection that won’t seem to go away, and bronchitis on top of that. He’s been one sick little boy lately. I’ve been pretty miserable too. I hate forcing the medicine down, giving him breathing treatments, and watching him try to wiggle away from me screaming when I suction out his nose. No FUN at ALL! Unfortunately, he still has the ear infection and hasn’t gotten much better. BOO!
Poor baby getting his breathing treatment.
Tuesday
Yesterday, I spent the morning of my vaca at the dentist. EW! I almost backed out of going a few times, but Mr. Hubby made sure that I went. Bless his heart, he had to put up with me acting like a big ole’ baby. I seriously hate the dentist. I’m being completely honest when I say that I’d rather give birth than go. I haven’t gone in years, and I knew that I needed to get some work done. Mr. Hubby made me an appointment, and even drove me there. I love how he takes care of me. It wasn’t really as bad as I thought it’d be. I do have to go back the first day of Christmas break to get some things done. Not looking forward to that.
After the dentist, Mr. Hubby and I headed over to Tyler to do some Christmas shopping! Our first stop was Babies R’ Us. I couldn’t wait to head down those toy aisles and find some toys for Landon’s very first Christmas! I actually got a little overwhelmed trying to pick out the perfect toys. I know it was silly, but I started worrying about his presents. Would he really enjoy them? Are these the perfect ones? Am I getting to many? Am I not getting him enough??? Now, I know that he’ll only be 11 months old, and the box and wrapping paper will probably make him completely happy, so I’m not sure what came over me! I guess I just want everything to be perfect. I’ve been picturing his first Christmas since I found out I was pregnant. I found some pretty cool presents for him though, and I just can’t wait to see his face when he opens them! I love having someone to spoil!
That evening we went to my mom’s to have an early Thanksgiving dinner. She wanted to have one for Jamie since she was going to be with her dad over Thanksgiving, so we went to visit and of course EAT!
Here’s Landon looking so cute and wearing his new Puma shoes that his daddy picked out for him!
Love my daddy!!!
Wednesday
Today, Landon and I went to visit Adley! She’s my friend Megan’s little girl and she’s so cute! Landon and Adley were baby talking to each other back and forth, and Landon tried grabbing her feet and hands a few times. It was pretty darn adorable.
Oh, and here’s proof that my child CAN hold his own bottle. That kiddo is so spoiled. I used to try and try to make him hold his bottle and he REFUSED! I knew he could do it because I saw him once. But when I’d try, he’d pout and cry and open his mouth for me to feed him. Well last week, I saw him holding his own bottle when I walked up. My mouth dropped! He was so good at it! After staring at him for a good 5 minutes, I decided that Landon was going to start feeding himself from them on. He’s really become a pro, if he wasn’t already. That boy can be soooo lazy… geez!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I’m so thrilled to be spending it with my little family. Life is so much better than I could have ever imagined. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours, and I love it.
P.S. I know I haven’t blogged about Month 8 yet! Hopefully I’ll get caught up soon!!!
