Happy Anniversary

Three years-it feels like forever! Just kidding. These last three years have been wonderful most of the time. I couldn't have gotten through the last 6 months without Justin. He was a Rock through everything and I love him for it. I love that he would get up at 5 am and let me sleep 2 hours before he went to work. Here is to more years of marriage and later on more children.

(I was trying to find a different picture, but Duncan is crying so this is what you get)

Bed Time or not

Last night Duncan would NOT go to sleep at his normal time. So we were up at 10pm and I decided to put him in the bed and he looked so cute. He loves to suck on his hands and fingers.

6 month old faces

So cute! I love this onsie that my friend from work gave Duncan. The Cat in the Hat. Plus it is blue and that is a good color on him.

This face makes him look just like my brothers Ben and Jason.

Duncan is now 6months old (3 months developmentally) and doing great. He went to the Dr. on Friday and he said he can't believe he is a 25 week preemie. He is on track for a 3 month old. He is 13 lbs and 24 in long. He is now in 3-6 month clothes. He can wear 0-3 but they are getting snug. He is smiling and making lots of cute noises.

I have gone back to work and it is very comforting to know my mom is here with him. Other wise I think I would be a wreck. I am a total germ a-phobe at work to the point that today I sprayed a kids backpack with Lysol because his brother went home throwing up. I make my kids wash and sanitize their hands every time they sneeze or cough into them. I told the kids in the front that if they get sick they are moving to the back of the room. Today in our grade level meeting with the principal he offered us muffins and I told my team mates "Do you know how long those have been sitting here? All day. Do you know how many people have been breathing on those? Everyone that has walked in here. No thank you!" I just won't take any chances getting sick. I stocked up on sanitizer from Sam's Club and Clorox wipes for my room. So as a teacher if your kids get sick, don't send them to school. Believe them if they say they don't feel good. If they really aren't it is just punishment for them because then they will have a lot of homework to make up.

Let sleeping monkeys. . . sleep

I finally got some pictures of Duncan in his monkey costume. I had to put him in it and then get him to sleep. He looked so cute and peaceful in his costume. He sure did make one cute monkey!

Happy Halloween!!

Then in his Monkey costume

One Mad Monkey

Halloween was low key. We couldn't take Duncan out, but I still wanted to get him dressed up. He didn't have a long enough nap before I dressed him so I am going to take more pictures tomorrow of him in his costume. Hopefully he won't be so mad. I think the changing of the clothes is what made him so unhappy.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.

Going Out

It was a blustery day here in Goodyear, an amazing 60 degrees. I had to take Duncan to the Dr. so I got him dressed up. I only do this when we have to some where, I was excited that I got to finally put his cool denim jacket on. So cute.

He is getting better at holding his head up. He is getting stronger and stronger. He got his synagis shot today. This is a very important shot for preemies, it helps protect them from RSV. He really takes those shots like a champ. He cried for a few minutes and then was fine. I think after having the heel of his foot poked with needles for 3 months toughened him up.

Breathing Treatments

He was watching t.v. He likes the Noggin channel. They have some pretty strange shows on and he likes them. I think he likes the music and bright colors.

Duncan loves to sit on the floor propped up with the boppy. He has really great head control. Not quite holding it up on his own yet, but getting close.

He is such a good baby when he is getting his breathing treatments. He just sits there and lets the medicine blow in his face. I think he even likes it.
