Adventuring Out With Mommy

Shaun has been doing a great job on keeping our blog updated. I thought it was about time that I share an update.

Motherhood is great! Yes, it can be tough at times but I would not change it for the world. Ty is so much fun even though he is only 6 weeks old. I love the coo's and the smiles that he gives us. I look forward to that every morning when he finishes his bottle and takes a poop. He seems as though he is the most happiest at that time. I wonder why?! As Shaun has mentioned in a previous post about changing Ty's formula, yes, he has been totally different. No more gas pains! Thank goodness!! Now we just have to deal with the "fighting sleep" fussiness. Boy, does he get mad when he is tired. I often wonder why babies decide to cry instead of just falling asleep. It would be so much easier on them and not to mention on mommy and daddy. I think I have made more laps through the house now then I have before Ty arrived. Whatever works, right?

Ty and I adventured to the mall for the first time on Monday. I thought since it was such a nice day out that we would get out of the house for a bit. Ty decided to have a meltdown as soon as I pulled out of the driveway. What do I do....let him cry until we get to the mall parking lot or pull over to see what is wrong? Well, I had to pull in to the Fayetteville School because he was just going balistic. Usually he is pretty good in the car but for some reason he was not at that time. Needless to say he slept pretty much the whole time we were at the mall. I was not complaining at all. He was a good boy.

Today was voting day. I wanted to make sure I voted before Shaun got home because I felt that it would be very crowded at that time. So, I made the decision that Ty would join me. Well, we had another meltdown again and this time I had to drive around to get him calmed down. The driving lasted about 10 minutes because I was sure he had fallen asleep. I pulled into the church parking lot and needless to say he was not asleep. I put him in the stroller and told him to be a good little boy. I was hoping that the lines were not too long. Of course row P through Z was the longest of them all and that was the line we needed to be in. Ty was a good little boy as we stood in line and was getting a lot of attention. I loved it when someone asked me if he was a boy or girl. Come on!! When I told the women my name and they gave me my ballot, Ty decided that he waited in line long enough and decided to cry. Nothing I could do then so I left everyone hear how good he is at showing off his lungs while I was in the booth. Needless to say he was mad pretty much the whole way home.

Tomorrow is my 6 week checkup. I can not believe it has been 6 weeks. Time is definately flying by. I could not even imagine if I had to go back to work on Monday. That would have been my first day back if I had not decided to take extra time. I will return to work on January 5th. That day will be here before I know it. I can not believe we are now in November. I am enjoying my time with my baby boy. He truly is a blessing. He amazes me every minute of every day.
