Birthday Party Excitement

Bennett is now a little over 10 months old.  Where does the time go?  Recently I've started thinking about his first birthday and the party that we'll have.  At first I didn't want to have a theme as I think that theme parties can get a bit silly and overboard.  But then I came up with an idea for his party- and I'm going overboard.  But I love it!

I'm working with someone on Etsy to design his invitations and hope they'll be ready soon.  Although after all the work that I put into the invitations, I almost could have made them myself.  Oh well. A t least it's one less thing to have to worry about.

I can't wait until I can share pictures here, but for now I'm keeping it a surprise.

Week 17: Jan 13th - 19th

Jan 13^th

It’s official- you’ll be starting daycare next week.  Daddy dropped over the paperwork today.  You were a little bit fussier today than yesterday, but you’re doing so much better than you were last week.  And this evening you rolled over again- and Daddy was able to see it.

Jan 14^th

You had a good day today with Daddy.  Looks like the new meds for your reflux are working.  You ran a few errands- stopped at Dr. D’s to pick up some forms for daycare, Babies R Us, Target, Lowes and then you spent most of the day at home.  When Mumma came home from work we all went out to dinner.

Mumma had skating in the morning so you hung out with Daddy.  She then ran a couple of errands and then went to have her hair done.  Andrea, her hairdresser asked to see pictures of you, and loved your chubby cheeks.  When she got home, you hung out with Mumma for a bit while Daddy spent some time in the basement.

Today was another quiet day at home.  You and Mumma slept in while Daddy worked on a model.  Over the past few days you seem to have started to notice your hand- staring at it as you move it around.  Interestingly, it seems to be only your left hand that you notice.  Daddy thinks that you may end up left handed.

Because it was a holiday (MLK Day) Daddy had the day off from work.  Your new daycare was open, but we decided to wait until tomorrow to have you start in order to save some money.  You had a pretty good day with Daddy, but when Mumma came home you decided to get a bit fussy.

Jan 18^th

Well we all survived your first day of daycare.  It was very snowy today, so when we dropped you off, you were the first kid to arrive.  It sounds as if you had a good day.  You ate well and only had a couple of fussy periods.  Apparently you had one spit-up incident so bad that you got the teacher’s back pocket.  When we got home you were pretty tired.

Happy 17 weeks old!  It’s hard to believe that you’re almost 4 months old.  You were supped to get a Synagis injection this morning, but it’s been delayed due to an insurance snafu.  However, because of this you were able to spend all day with Nana and Granpa.  You also got to see a few of Nana’s friends.  She sure does love to show you off!
