no picture weekend
It's nuts! We went to see Juice & Pa this weekend and not one picture was taken! We decided to go late Friday night. It was too cold to take Michael to the football game and Juice was needing to see the boy. So we loaded up and went. We did not take enough clothes for momma & daddy though! Holy cow! It was C*O*L*D!!! Michael got to hang out with Juice, Pa, Curt and Shelley. He loved it. It was great to spend some time with family. Sometimes, that's just what you need. We had a shrimp boil and just hung out at the house. Yesterday, Michael, Juice & I did go to Dimmitt to see Meemaw & GranBob. They hadn't seen him in a little over a month, so it was great to hang out with them too. Today, he slept through church! That's a first since he was just weeks old. We had him all bundled up with a blanket and I guess he just enjoyed the music. He never even made a sound.

checkup & shots
We got a little behind on Michael's 4 month shots, so we had to do his 6 month shots today. He did so good. We had to wake him up to go to the doctor, so he wasn't in the best of moods. He was awake the entire way to Lubbock. Even though he was extremely tired, he was in a pretty good mood. He thought the paper he was sitting on was pretty cool.
His doctor said everything looked great. She said he is definitely teething. She said he may get his top two teeth before his bottom two and that we could try teething tablets and teething toys to ease the pain.
He weighed 18 pounds and was 27 inches long. He did really good with his shots too. He cried for a little bit, but then we went outside and he was fine. He took a good nap as soon as we got in the car.
He was glad to get home, but was super clingy. We don't go back until December for his 9 month checkup. Hopefully, we can avoid all this flu and cold business going around.

Can you believe it?!?!
Michael Lance is 7 months old!
Juice got to take the birthday pictures today because the boy wasn't awake this morning when I left for work. He woke up about 5 and needed a little pre-breakfast snack and then went back to sleep. Juice had the day off today, so she came down yesterday (after not seeing him for 4 weeks!). Michael was super excited that Juice came and spent the night. He had so much fun playing with her today.
He isn't crawling still. I think he's going to go straight from sitting to standing to walking! He loves to stand up. He's been loving that for a long time now, but he's really wanting to stand and pull up. He still needs a little help though. And of course, Kirby is right up in his business.
He is officially taking his baths in the duck now. He loves bath time and hates getting out! He kicks and splashes and occasionally tries to put his face in the water, but hasn't quite figured out that you can't breathe and drink the water without getting choked.
I just think this is a precious picture...
He is rolling and squirming all over the crib during his nap time and night time. When he first starting rolling over while sleeping, it would tick him off, but now I think he kinda prefers to sleep on his tummy. He is pretty much sleeping through the night too. If he does sleep through the night, he'll sleep 10-11 hours! I KNOW!! Mommy loves this! If he does wake up, he has a midnight (or 2 or 5:00) snack and back down he goes. He'll wake up anywhere from 6:30-8:00 every morning.
We go to the doctor for his 6 month checkup and shots (we got off for his 4 month shots, so we had to wait a while for these) on Thursday, so I'll let you know how all that goes and how much he weighs, etc. I think I'm going to have to ask her about formula because I think my milk supply is getting low and pumping at school is getting not practical. I'm having students that need to work in my room during lunch, which is when I pump. Anyways, we'll ask and see what she says.
Happy 7 month birthday sweet boy. You brighten our day and put a smile on our face and in our hearts! We love you!

date with mom
Wednesday got to be a special day for Michael and momma. Anna called in sick, so therefore, I called in sick! I was already dressed and ready to go to school, but then had no where to go. I needed to run some errands in Lubbock, so Michael and I decided to head that way. He slept the whole way there. We ran some errands and then had a lunch date. I've never been to a restaurant by myself, and technically I didn't on Wednesday, but sort of. He would eat a little bit, then let me eat a little bit. So sweet!
After lunch, he let me run a few more errands before heading to Target. He was getting so sleepy. He had been awake the entire time we were there. I had to go to Target though. I decided to let him try out his sitting abilities and ride in a cart for the first time.Of course we had the seat cover on the cart! He loved it, but then the tiredness set in! He was glad it was our last stop!
He was such an angel the entire time in Lubbock. He slept the whole way home. Oh my, I could get used to being a stay at home mom! We had so much fun.

what a great week!
We've had a busy week and weekend. Someone special was born Monday, it was my birthday on Tuesday, Homecoming week at school, 20 year reunion for daddy, Halloween preview and a sad day Sunday.
September 22. What a day. It's a very special day in our family. 28 years ago, I was born on that day. 29 years ago, my cousin Rusty was born on that day. 34 years ago, my aunt Amy was born on that day. And just one day before September 22 of this year, my cousin Pax was born. We normally all get together as a family...it's like Christmas in September! When we were younger, all the cousins got gifts because Meemaw felt sorry for them. Did we ever get gifts on their birthday...I don't think so! I'm over it though. haha. Out of my 28 years, this is only the 2nd time I haven't been with my aunt on our birthday. She had a dang good reason this year...
Pax McCall was born on September 21. I guess we get to share our birthday with him now! :)
Homecoming week. I love high school sports and activities. There is just something about having school spirit. I grew up having school spirit and going to all the high school events, so it's just natural for me to continue that. Wednesday was Cowboys and Indians day...Michael laughed at me when he saw me!
Thursday was Decades Day and I dressed in a poodle skirt and such. I didn't get a good picture, but it was fun. Thursday night was the Homecoming parade. I didn't know how Michael would react. I didn't know if the sirens would scare him or not, but he loved it. He just watched and watched.
This was a big Homecoming for us. Daddy had his 20 year reunion! (Wow, he's old!) Daddy picked Michael up to go to the pep rally. Anna had him all dressed, fed and ready to go. He loved the pep rally, but then fell asleep! Yes, with all the drums and yelling, the boy fell asleep at the pep rally! Daddy had fun showing him off to all his classmates. We hung out with his classmates after the pep rally and then ate supper with them before the game. The game was so crowded that we had go sit on the visitors side. The Indians ended up winning 61-0!! Michael, Grandma and I left at half time.
Michael was a super trooper! He was in such a good mood at the game. Grandma stayed with him while we went to the Class of 1990 dance. He slept all night long...thank goodness, this momma was tired!
We spent Saturday and Sunday chillin' out and napping. Our sweet neighbors gave us a few pumpkins and Michael loved them!
We were going to get him all dressed up in his halloween outfit and take pictures with the pumpkins, but goodness...it's 95 degrees on September 27! The boy would melt...so we'll try again another day. Don't even ask...I'm not telling what he is going to be for Halloween. I actually hate Halloween, but it'll be fun letting Michael dress up.
It was a sad day today...we put up the beloved swing! It's offical...Michael has outgrown his swing. Oh that swing....that swing got us through many days when momma needed a break and a much needed nap! That swing was his bestest friend for like 4 months, then on occasion he got to hang out with his friend again. Why don't they make swings big enough for babies to swing until they are 4 years old??? Goodbye swing...
