Christmas is Coming!!!

Christmas is 5 days away!
What a week!
Unbeknownst to us, after Jamie recovered from his tummy bug about two and a half weeks ago, he caught a cold. Trey thought it would be a good idea to go to his doctor the 18th just to be safe..I'm glad we did. The doctor told us that Jamie had a slight ear infection, and gave us a couple of prescriptions for our little guy. He now is on antibiotics and will be on them for about 10 days. The doctor also gave us a prescription for cough medicine so he can sleep. This is also his first ear infection. I think Jamie's been quite a trooper. This is the first time he's been sick 'back to back' like this.
So hopefully Jamie will start to feeling better, and so will both of us. Daddy's a little more sick than Mommy, but he should feel better soon. Mommy's slightly sick, but is doing well. We should all be better soon.
We're looking forward to celebrating Christmas with everyone.
Life is busy as usual.. but especially this time of year.

Jamie's Learning SO Fast!

It's been a week since I last posted.

Jamie's learned a lot. This past week, Jamie learned how to give 'high-fives'.
Jamie just loves the attention he gets when he does it. He smiles so big when he 'high fives' anyone. I think he enjoys it.

Jamie also learned something new this week. Besides recognizing some letters, he learned how to say the letters to the word 'Ireland'. After we spell it with him, he'll try to say it. He'll say what sounds like 'Ireloo'. It's fun to hear him say it. My inlaws have a book on Ireland, so that's where he gets that from.

Jamie also is picking up his speech. Besides saying his usual phrases, 'door, hi' and still saying single words, he picked up a new phrase. He already knew how to say 'uh-oh' and 'no'. His new phrase is 'uh-oh, no'. It's funny to hear. He also says 'uh-oh' whenever he drops something, which is fairly often. He still knows how to show me what he wants, from getting something he wants from the fridge, to pointing at things he wants.

Jamie is still doing his swim lessons. Jamie and I went to his swim class again this past week. This next Thursday will be his last lesson! :-(

Great News!

Well, after a week, Jamie is ALL BETTER! Jamie's over his tummy bug.
I'm so glad he's ok. He's gotten sick only one time before like this, so we are very lucky. I kept him home from Swim Class this Thursday, so I could be sure that he wasn't still sick. He will go to his Swim Class next Thursday.

Trey's Birthday is today! Happy Birthday to Trey! We are going out to dinner tonight, and we should have a great time. We are still having his birthday party this weekend, which should be fun as well. I will post pictures when I get them.

We will also be going back to church this weekend. I think he'll do ok in Nursery. I think he'll have fun.

Everyone is doing fine, and life is busy as always.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel

It's been a few days since Jamie initially got sick and He is doing much better. Yay! He has a lingering cough though, and I seem to need to wipe his nose often, but other than that, he is fine. He seems to be tired most of the time, but that's to be expected when you're sick. I'm hoping that this will only last a couple of more days, and then he'll be ok. I am enjoying cuddling and giving him comfort.

Everything else is going fine, and we were actually able to do some errands this past weekend. That was nice.

We are looking forward to a night out on Friday, which is Trey's birthday. His grandparents are going to watch him. Trey also has the entire day off from work! :D . We're excited! Trey also will have a birthday party this weekend also.

Things are Looking Up! Only a couple of more days..

Hard Times

This past Thursday we went to his swim lesson again. Jamie ended up making a mess in the pool, so our lesson was cut short. That Thursday he came home and we found out he's not feeling well. He's got a little stomach bug, and that doesn't leave him feeling too great. Since he didn't feel too great at all, so we all stayed home from church. I'm hoping he'll be better by this coming week, when we celebrate Trey's birthday Saturday. I feel sad for him, and how he must feel. :-( It's just not Sunday without Church. :-) If he gets any worse, it will be time to go to the doctor.

Everything else is going well. We even got some Christmas shopping done this past Saturday.

This next week Jamie should be feeling better. We hope he'll do better. :-)

More Exciting Developments

I realize it's been about a week or so since I've written last.

We all had a Great Thanksgiving. My mom was able to take care of Jamie that morning for us. We spent the morning volunteering at Valero (Trey's work) for their Annual Thanksgiving Dinner with the Troops stationed here in San Antonio.

We both had fun doing that. Then, when that was done, we went back to my mom's house to eat Thanksgiving Dinner together. We were there for a little bit longer, and then went to my inlaws for the evening. It was fun for all of us that day.

Well, today we had a pretty good day at church. Jamie again cried when he realized we weren't coming in with him, but he was fine. He again lasted the entire time.

It was fun at dinnertime today. I was feeding him applesauce, and put some on the sppon for him to put in his mouth. He took it a step further, and dragged the spoon against the bottom of the bowl, got some, and put it in his mouth by himself! He learned how to use the spoon!! :D That was really cool! Daddy got to see it too. We both cheered, and he clapped his hands.. :-) :-) He's so cute!

Jamie also rediscovered the word "no". He's starting to say it to everything we say! I guess this is his "NO" phase. Oh, well, we'll just have to wait it out. I'll enjoy it while it lasts and laugh along the way.

Another Exciting thing that is happening is with Jamie. Jamie is still mostly pre-verbal, but he is starting to point to things as if to ask what they are. He is also figuring out everything has a name. We are giving him the names of things, and I think this will help him to learn more words. We are also trying to read to him more.

We are having a great time with our Jamie. We enjoy him everyday.
Here are some pictures taken at Jamie's 2nd birthday party. These are the ones I have.

Here is Jamie playing with one of his presents!


He is playing with another present. He enjoys this one as well.


This is a picture of his cake. It was yummy!

A Great Discovery!

Well, Today in church, Jamie went to Nursery, as usual. Jamie wanted me to stay with him and help him, but I just gave him to someone in the nursery and left him. He cried for a few minutes, but he lasted the whole time this time! :D Yay! Jamie was such a Big Boy! We later found out that Jamie was a little fussy, but did fine. Hopefully, with time, he won't cry as much when we leave him. I think as he gets older, that will only get better. :-)
By the way, I think Jamie's adjusted to the new time ok.

Every week is always pretty busy, but it was kind of relaxing for us. We got a Friday night at home to relax all together. That doesn't happen very often anymore. We were able to clean up the house and things.
