Bath Time

Every mom has to have bathtime pictures of their kids!

So here they are!





Jimmy sure does love his bathtime.  He LOVES to splash in the water with his legs.

Jimmy LOVES playing with his rubber duckies and splashing in the water with his legs.

We have this AWESOME rubber duckie spout that makes bubbles for his bath!  And it is also somewhat soft, so he doesn't bumb his head on the spout or burn himself.  How cool is that?!





Whenever I get his head/face wet with water, he looks at me like he can't believe I would do such a thing..."Really, mom?"

I tried making a soap mowhawk, but his hair is too long and wouldn't stand up.

Time to dry off.  BRRR!!



Just chilling in my really cool turtle robe.  No big deal!  :o)




Uh oh!  BOOTY SHOT!



Snowy Saturday

So I ended up driving Olivia to the airport yesterday.  I'm so sad that she is moving to San Diego, but I know that this is a good thing for her.  We have had so many good times together.  From working together when we were teenagers, to partying like crazy, to growing up and leaving those times behind, to starting our own families...*sigh*.  She will be missed. 

I was kind of nervous driving her to the airport because the snow is still here, and I would have to drive back home in the dark.  It's about a two hour drive back home.  But everything was fine.  I tend to worry too much.

I stopped in Lynnwood on the way home to grab a bite to eat, and to nurse Jimmy.  He was pretty hungry as well.  I found this pizza/pasta place called Amante and decided to give it a shot.  Ordering a Thai calzone...it was AMAZING!

Jimmy can almost sit up by himself now!  He is really good at supported sitting.  I place in in our Boppy Pillow and he can sit up pretty nicely in it.  I'm so proud of him!

We have been working on his tummy time lately.  He knows how to roll over from his back onto his tummy, but then he gets stuck.  He loses his patience VERY quickly when this happens and likes to scream.  SOOOO, we've been practicing playing on his tummy lately.  We bought him a cute little toy for this.  It has butterflies on it and whenever he grabs them, they start making music.  This has helped alot with his frustration of being on his stomach.  GO JIMMY!

A Nice Surprise

Woke up early with Jimmy this morning.  He has been fighting off a cold lately, so he went to bed early.  It was beautiful when I woke up this morning!  Nice and sunny...even though it was only 18 degrees outside!

Some of the snow is melting, but is still beautiful. 

And when I went outside to take a picture of the snow, I found two packages on our doorstep from Dave!  What a nice surprise!  I wonder what it could be?!

He sent me a penguin pillow pet!!  He knows that I LOVE penguins.  And he also sent us a shower caddy...hmm.  He has always complained that I have too many shower products.  Now I have somewhere to put them!  And he also sent a mirror for the shower...this is probably more for him.  So he can shave in the shower.  And then he also sent a cowboys throw blanket.  What a nice guy!

Jimmy has been jumping in his jumperoo alot today.  He has alot of fun in that thing.  We bought him his jumperoo for his first Christmas, and it is by far his favorite toy.  I put on the TV show Cailou for him to watch while he is jumping and he is having a blast.  He keeps giggling at the TV whenever Cailou laughs.  It is absolutely precious!

There's a video of Jimmy jumping in his jumperoo.  Pickles is in the backgroud being jealous.  :o)

Well, off we go.  One of my best friends,Olivia, is moving to San Diego today and we have to go say goodbye to her.  I am sad to see her go.  We will miss you!!

(This is a picture of us at a nightclub in Oak Harbor called Element.  We always have such a good time together)

Attempt At A First Entry

I've never kept a blog before or even followed someone's blog, so this is very new to me.  This is really more for myself than anyone else anyways.  Just a cool little way of keeping memories of my son, Jimmy.

Not much has been going on lately.  My husband, Dave, is gone right now.  He is in California for career school.  We miss him very much.  He should be back sometime in March, and his sister Sarah is going to visit us then!  We couldn't be more excited!

We just got our first computer today (FINALLY).  We've had snow for about two days now.  This is very unusual weather for Whidbey Island.  We don't get snow that often.  I really wish Jimmy was old enough to go outside and enjoy it.  I saw some neighbors sledding with their children and got so excited knowing that one day, that would be me and my son out there having fun together!  We have so many fun things to look forward to!  Oh well, Pickles is having enough fun for us all out there!

He likes to chase the snowballs that I throw and run around the yard really fast in the snow.  He is such a goober.  Some of the snow melted off of our patio roof, made a puddle on the patio, then froze.  Pickles ran across it, and fell on his face!  It was so funny!!  He just got up quickly and kept on running. 

Pickles and Jimmy are best buds.  Whenever Jimmy is playing on his jungle gym mat, Pickles is always laying right beside him.  Whenever Jimmy cries, Pickles always runs to his side.  Jimmy has learned how to reach out and grab things, and he loves holding onto Pickles ears.  Sometimes Pickles licks his face and he laughs.  It is beyond adorable!

I recently made a diaper wipe holder for my freind Heather and her baby girl, Avery.  It turned out pretty cute and I think I will make one for myself.  And maybe one for a little somebody that is expecting a baby boy in May.  :o)  Now, the ones for the baby boys won't be so girly and glam. 



Well, that's it for my first post.  I will try to keep this thing updated.
