Let’s face the facts….if I was a sporadic blogger before this baby, anyone that reads this blog is lucky to get any posts at all now that he is here! It’s easy enough to write the blog I guess….but we all know, people don’t really care what I have to say, they just want to see pictures. And, not that it is a slow process to upload pictures, but it’s not quick either. I have to do it one at a time…am I doing it wrong? Is there a way to upload several pictures at once to this thing? If anyone has any hints or tips, I would love to hear them.
TGS V is two months old already. This kiddo is growing like a weed. Almost 12 lbs already and 23 ½ inches tall….not long…I refuse to say long…..
He has already had his first flight and he was fabulous on the plane..both times. Sadly, we had totally full flights, so our hope of having a row of seats to ourselves was not a reality…even though I basically held the baby above my head while he was grumpy, daring people to sit next to us. The third seat in our row was the very last seat to be occupied on both flight, so had there just been one less person on our flights, I am sure our plan would have been a success!!
His first trip was to Waco for his baptism. He got to meet a ton of friends and family, and considering his schedule was topsy turvy, he did pretty good. It took me an entire week to recover from the trip though. He has several more flights already scheduled….thank goodness lap children fly free! Headed to Texas in July for Brookie’s wedding, Austin for Labor Day weekend for our annual Salimsang weekend, San Antonio in October for a shower for Lindsay, and Waco for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thomas has only been around for two months, but I kind of forget what life was like before he was here. I sort of wonder what I did all day long. Yes, I worked, but now, I am so much more efficient at my daily tasks….whether they be my work tasks or my chores at home, because I have a whole other element thrown in now with him…organization is key now, that’s for sure! My new trick is to write my to do list on my bathroom mirror in dry erase marker….not exactly pretty, but it reminds me of what I have to do at least every morning and every night when I brush my teeth!
New favorite “toy” – I bought an upright steamer. It is AWESOME! I hope to never use an iron again. Easier, quicker, and I can stick my face in the steam for a quick facial….ok, not really the facial thing….I wish…the steam comes out a little too hot….
Stats:
almost 12 lbs as of 6/17 (approx 50th percentile)
23 ½ inches tall (approx the 75 percentile for height)
Head circumference – 50th percentile – thank goodness this child had not inherited my giant head….yet!
Other notables:
He has inherited my fat thighs – they are considerably cuter on him
Newest Trick – sticking his tongue out
Loves his play mat
Snorting up a storm when he is hungry or frustrated – another thing he inherited from his mama that is really only cute as a baby (I typically only snort when laughing…not so much when hungry or frustrated…)
Smiling up a STORM – I spend most of his waking hours trying to get him to smile at me
Loves bathtime
Loves his bouncy chair
Not a huge fan of naptime
For several days in a row he has been sleeping for five hour stretches at night – woohoo!! Now, if we can just up that to 8 or 9……
Pictures are coming soon……
