Johnny is Funny

Nothing new here - Just a few videos to share.
We're all doing great. I'm so ready for Spring, but other than that, no complaints.
Blake is just working away, Johnny and I hold down the fort here, and the dog spends her days napping on the couch.

Or in the rocking chair.

Actually, I couldn't get the videos on here. They're on Facebook though, or I'll come back in a little while to figure it out.

Updates

Sometimes I spend all my free time reading other people's blogs instead of updating mine . . .

Things here are going great. Johnny has started solid foods and loves it! It's fun to feed him and he makes such a cute mess (I wonder how long I will think that )
On Monday Johnny will be four months and has his next doctor's appointment. I don't even have a guess as to how much he weighs. He's getting pretty big, though. He's got two cousins who are two months younger than him and he towers over them.
We went to a Superbowl party with Blake's family and that was good - I didn't watch any of the game, but we had fun.
I took the GRE and that went really well. Three long hard weeks of studying did not go to waste. The plan is for graduate school starting summer of 2012.
Other than that things are pretty quiet. Johnny's a good sleeper at night, but naps during the day are treasures that are rarely seen, but we have a fun time just hanging out.
I'm sure there are more updates, I just can't think of them right now. I was up quite a bit last night . . . The doggie door in our bedroom usually does a great job of staying shut, but it was windy last night and it blew the door right open and the wind right into our room so it made for a long, chilly night.

Christmas

Well, its been way too long since I've posted, but since I've got a sleeping baby boy, I decided I better get to it.
Today is Christmas and it was a great day for my family. Blake really surprised me with my gift - which I love! He got me a Willow Tree people nativity set. He also surprised me by buying candy and stuff for the stockings and actually stuffing them. This Christmas presented a few difficulties when it came to shopping and such - you know, with Johnny, so it was nice to have some Christmas surprises.
On Christmas Eve we went to a party with Blake's family. It was a huge turn out and was a great party. They did a Nativity scene with all the little kids and Johnny got to be Baby Jesus. That was a neat experience. I did laugh, however, because the girl playing the angel carried him in because "Mary" was like four years old and I'm sure that Johnny was at least half her size. (PS. At his two months appointment he was 23 1/2 inches long and 11 pounds and 12 ounces. That's the 72nd and 52nd percentiles, respectively.)
My dad also came up huge with some great gifts, although it wasn't a car, that's what my 17 year old sister got. And not just any car. She got a 2008 Hyundai Accent. Nice, new, shiny, and I'm excited for her. If anyone deserves it, she does, so no comments on her being lucky or spoiled or anything. :) My dad also got our dear doggy, Annyong, a giant bone, which she spent the entire afternoon outside eating. She brought it inside hours later and it was mostly gone.
Blake's mom got me a ton! and I mean A TON!! of scrapbooking supplies so I've got to get busy on that. I'm excited. I'm no good at it, but I'm excited anyway.






My dad came into town and was staying at a motel with a swimming pool so we packed up some key lime pie and cheesecake and all headed over there to go swimming. Including Johnny. I think he loved it - by which I mean he didn't cry. Also, I have got to point out how adorable I think Johnny's swim trunks and bathrobe is - and also how adorable I think my whole family is.
I think our camera had a hard time focusing with the water in the background, so some are poor quality. Enjoy the pictures, and Merry Christmas!
I sure wish I could figure out pictures on this . . . I thought for sure I had loaded like ten more.

Pictures






Here are some more pictures of Johnny. Things are busy, and I'm sure tired, but things are good. With a full tummy, he's a happy baby. The problem is keeping it full. This boy can really eat.

We got the new iMovie and you can make trailers with your video clips . . . which we have been doing. Unfortunately, our footage is pretty limited. Today I tried recording Johnny, but he's still not doing much so our movies may be limited to Annyong and the ducks until Johnny starts doing stuff worthy of a video camera instead of just a picture.

Johnny

Johnny"s been great. He"s happy and healthy and pretty much eats all day.
He was born the 14th at 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. His size is impressive because I never got that big of a baby bump.....I never even bought maternity pants.
Anyway, enough chatter, Here he is!

40 Weeks

Tomorrow is my baby's due date. I really hope he comes. We have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and he had better have made some progress! I'll let you know how it goes . . .

Well. . . still no progress. Still at a 2 and 75% effaced. If there's no baby by our next appointment on Monday then the doctor will induce on Tuesday, so at an absolute maximum, one week till baby time.
