Time to Ring In the New Year!

About a week ago, Sean drooled all over my old Razr phone and shorted out the screen. So I couldn't read any text messages, see any missed calls, etc. Well, tonight I finally got a new phone, so please call me and leave a voicemail or send me an e-mail with your cell phone, work numbers, etc.

A Case of the Giggles

While Daddy was feeding Sean his dinner, he got the hiccups. Sean just thought it was the most hilarious thing he'd ever seen. I absolutely love his belly laugh.

Merry Christmas!

Grandma and Grandpa came down for a quick visit.

Let's get started on the presents!

Lemme at 'em!

Oooooh, a new book! I wonder how it tastes?

This little piggy passes the taste test...

A Visit From Tio Jeff

Sean finally got to meet his uncle Jeff. Unfortunately, Jeff couldn't stay for very long so we'll have to continue his diaper-changing training at the next visit. ;)

A Bedtime Story for Christmas

Daddy reads Sean's bedtime story. Usually Sean tries to eat the book, but sometimes he's calm and listens to the story.

Hello, Seven Months!

Tired, but Don't Want to Sleep Yet

Sean was tired but he wanted just one more bedtime story.

Lunch With Daddy

Apples with Bananas... Yummy!

Oh, I got some food in my bib. Let me finish it up!

Christmas Shopping

Sean and I were getting some Christmas shopping done when he had to try out this cute little chair. We went very early in the morning to avoid most of the crowds, and we're almost done. We got Daddy's present too, but it's a secret!

Squish Squash

Christmas Card Photos

I finally got around to taking Sean's pictures for our Christmas card. At first, Sean was paying attention...

But what's this?

Oh, yeah, Mommy. I'm paying attention...

In the end, the present from Grandma & Grandpa won out.

Busy Little Birdwell

It's amazing to watch and see how much Sean has changed over the months. Even how he plays with his toys is different. He's doing much better sitting up by himself and I read in our baby book that this is the precursor to crawling. Watch out!

Ahhhh... Naptime!

As much as I love to see my baby, I love to see him sleeping too. ;)

Our Bundle of Joy

Meet the Prunes

Clearly, prunes will take some getting used to. Sean is such a good sport about them though.

A Widdle Wabbit

Sean had no problem with the carrots at all.

80's Parents

Listening to Matthew this morning put a big smile on my face. He gave Sean his breathing treatment and it takes 10 minutes so we have to sing to him to keep his attention off the medicine. Guess what Daddy was singing? Come on Feel the Noise by Quiet Riot and You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. Yeah, we're 80's parents. It's so weird to think that these will be the "classics" that Sean will say his parents sang to him as a child.

Just so you can get these enjoy these too...



Went back to the pediatrician today. Sean is slowly getting better which is the nature of RSV. Still congested, some rattling in his chest, and little to no appetite for cereal/solid foods. The doc expects it will take a few more weeks before Sean's back to 100% healthy. At least, Sean doesn't seem to be too bothered except for the congestion and nasal suction. He measured 26-1/4 inches long. We'll have to wait until he's better before he gets his immunizations.

Sean's Sick

Just got back from the pediatrician's office and found out that Sean has RSV. :( Got some medicine to help him breathe, and he did NOT like it. Screamed and cried the whole time. Hopefully he'll be on the mend now.

BTW, he weighs 20 lbs. 2 ounces today.

Ugh. A Bug.

Sean has a head cold. So far his main symptom is a runny nose, but he does have a little congestion too so I'm nursing more often to keep him hydrated and give him lots of antibodies and immune factors, etc. He has no interest in cereal or baby food so we're just nursing for now. I guess he got more than just kisses last week. We'll see how how does over the next few days.

Dim Sum with Uncle John

Uncle John came by for a visit, so we took him to our usual Sunday dim sum place.

Sound Off Like Ya Gotta a Pear!

Let's Go!

A Voracious Reader

Hello, Six Months!

Laughs With Auntie Diana

Just Chillin' with Cousin Andrew

Happy Birthday, Luke & Thomas!

Rare Bathtime Photos

Since Matthew and I are the ones giving Sean a bath, we only get photos when we have visitors (or are visitors ourselves).

Sweet Peas for My Sweet Pea

To Grandmother's House We Go!

Open Mouth...

...And insert whatever is within reach.


I promise we feed Sean. A lot. I mean, look at that arm. :) Yeah, I love that little arm. Just savoring those little arms since the chub isn't gonna last forever.

This Stuff is Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S...

Bananas went over slightly better than sweet potatoes. Am I a bad mother because I think that little cringe-wiggle Sean does is so funny?

Workin' Hard

Phantastic! I'm Phinally a Pharmacist!

Most of my friends got their results in one-two weeks, and it's been three weeks so I was getting kinda worried. But I got a call today from KW congratulating me, so I was spared yet another thursday of checking the website and not finding my name there. What a relief!!!

You're A Genius!

I like to check out other blogs out there in the blog-o-sphere and I came across The Blog Readability Test. And how does our blog read? Well, apparently it's for geniuses. So congratulations, you're a genius!

I Yam What I Yam

As you can see my introduction of sweet potatoes didn't go over very well. After torturing Sean with a few more spoonfuls, I decided to mix a little sweet potato with rice cereal so he could get used to the flavor gradually.

Sunny with a Chance of Showers...

Today Sean discovered how to make razberry sounds.

Lolo Part Deux

Get This Boy a Drink!

Sean wants to drink water from a glass like a big boy! (Not to worry, Matthew didn't really give Sean any water.)

Let's Do Lunch!

Sometimes we go to Daddy's office on thursdays and have lunch with him. I know it's not quite cold enough for the hat, but it's just so darn cute!

Fascinated by the Fishes

Grandma Cracks Me Up!

Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

I Want My Mummy

Happy Halloween!

Adventures in Cereal!

Today Sean tried cereal for the first time. I think this picture was the funniest one. Well, it was mostly breastmilk, and he really enjoyed chewing on his spoon.

A Walk in the Park

This is Sean enjoying our walk at Memorial Park. He now weighs 18 pounds!

Hello, Five Months!
