First Flight

SO I am a nervous flyer, Yes hard to believe I know, but I like to be the full 90 minutes early to the airport because I want to KNOW I am not going to cut it too close! I have done that before and it isn't fun! Any who we left a little later and that meant a closer call on getting to the airport! Sadly I left a delicious bag of snacks that mom Hamilton had put together for us, and was really wishing i had that Carmel corn on the flight:) Anyway, it turns out our flight was going to be like 10 minutes late so we made it in time and all was well. However there was a maintenance problem so it kept us waiting for a bit. Around 10:20 our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:50 we were informed that our plane was not safe and they would let us know shortly if they would rebook us or just use a different airplane. Luckily option 2 was the way they went and our new plane would board about 11:20, so we grabbed something to eat, and they boarded early, luckily we didn't miss it though we were the last ones on the plane:) The flight wasn't full and it was one of those planes with the two seats on one side and three on the other, I asked the flight attendant if we would be able to sit on the side with the two seats, but she got us a better deal and moved the 3rd person off our row so Leland got his own seat, but he sat with me most of the time, these pictures are from the times when he was on his own dinner! He slept through take off and for about the first 30 minutes of the flight... Fantasticthen he just sat and babbled at the women behind us on the way down, the pressure didn't seem to bother him even with his cold. He did manage to blow some snot bubbles it was pretty fun!

Anyway he wasn't sure of his gram at first and even tried to bink her once or twice, but today is a new story! HE LOVES his Gram!

This was one of his new toys its one of those shaky ones, Brian kept putting it close to his mouth so he could bite on it and then making it shake

and it tickled his nose....

Long Night

We are in for a long night, I just got Leland down to sleep again after he puked up 8 ozs of milk... i of course bathed him and changed his crib, but it looks like Mom won't get a whole lot of sleep, we don't have a monitor so it makes me nervous to go to bed with him out here and me back in the bed room, so i will likely have a long sleepless night, checking on him every so often, and I still have to figure out what plug to plug the humidifier in so that it will work! UGH!

Mother's Day!

I am insanely grateful for all the mothers who love me! Most of all my own! She is amazing and I can't believe that 26 years ago she was laboring to bring me into the world! As I sat and thought about how tiring my day will be tomorrow (my baby contracted the Hamilton's cold and lijahs and mixed them... and currently at 10:30 he is playing with his empty bottle in his crib, I suppose its my fault since I decided to give him medicine...) but as he has gagged quite a few times on his phlegm and I am grossed out enough by it , I think I will stay home and send Brian to church, and since he took today off to do all the birthday (Libby's birthday was today) and Hopes Grad party with me, he has to work early, so it looks like we will be finding a sub for our CTR class for the next three weeks, I am sure they are glad they asked us to teach! :) Anyway I am amazed that my mom continues and worked so hard her whole life to make sure my days were enjoyable, and that I knew I was loved and here I sit complaining that my baby is sick for my birthday, its not like I have a right to complain either because he is still a good baby when he is hacking up phlegm and can't breath, so I suppose that I should go and set up the humidifier. I just wanted to let my amazing mom know I love her! LOVE YOU MOM! Ps how the heck to you spell phlem? flem? Huh never was a strong speller....

Cute Toot

So today I went grocery shopping with Amy, and on the fun side I got lots of fun things:) She made me a mothers day present.... Which I love! I will have to figure out a good way to display it!

and she got me my birthday presents and they came early (while I was there) so I got to open them early! She said the 3rd is on the way! So I am just thrilled! She is too good to me! They are really fun to read out loud! Em do you want me to bring them to read to your kids:) Hee hee get your own:) Just kidding, I think hope wants to borrow them! Anywho they are super fun!

As an added plus Brian let me extend my vacation out to Cali by almost a full week, and mom and dad agreed to have me infringing on their home! I am so excited! Thanks to everyone!

Onesies

I decided I would try to make some onesies for the baby and then the idea came to do one for Brian and the baby so their shirt and onesie say TREE and APPLE:)

For the baby I made some others among my favorites are No touchy and What is this word No You speak of?

Unattended

I left the baby alone for a few seconds so I could run to the bathroom, and I found him with this...

I turned my back for literally two seconds to finish typing an email and I found him with this.....

Its time to really step up my cleaning and get everything that could be dangerous out of his reach!
