Small Update

2008-10-27T21:08:00.000-07:00

Hellloooooo family and friends!!

Sorry about the lack of posts as of late. Our little family has been so busy with all the changes going on around here.

My biggest bit of news is that "Ms. Wanda" is back! She is once again our nanny and everything is perfect. She takes such good care of our little man and it's so comforting to know that when I leave my little man all day- that he is in the best of hands. My dad is helping us pay for her and Dad, if you ever read this, there is no way that I can thank you enough. You make my world go 'round.

EJ is doing really well. He's got a lot of teeth and is always drooling from new ones poppin through. He is consistently sleeping through the night. He is learning to recognize a few words and saying them in relation to what they mean. He will also bring you his shoes (size 8) if he hears you say buh bye or if he wants to go outside. He's eating very well- lots of different stuff. His favorite drink is Chocolate milk (although he also loves rootbeer) and his favorite thing to eat is chicken flavor stuffing. I'm sure he could eat a whole box if he tried. ... ... He also loves dry cereal. Go figure. Hahha. Oh, and- barbeque sauce. L-O-V-E-S BBQ sauce.

We brush EJ's teeth everynight before bed... and to do it more efficiently, I bought him a little stepping stool for his bathroom. It's now his favorite place to be. And he loves to have his teeth brushed. Or maybe it's just that he loves green Shrek flavored tooth paste. What does a Shrek taste like? I'm not sure, but if EJ could tell you, he'd probably say, "Like Yummy Boogers and Snot". Yum. EJ also likes to use his stepping stool to wash his hands. He quite often will, if asked to "Let's go wash your hands EJ" he go up to his bathroom and do it. It's so cute.

Well, that's about it for now.

I don't have a Halloween costume picked out yet for EJ. I guess I better get on the move. I really wanted him to be a cowboy but it look like the pickins' are slim- so he might be a bumble bee instead.

I'll post again soon.

We recently went over to Mom's for a BBQ and while we were there, Uncie Rye Bread (aka- the worlds best uncle) got to hang out with EJ for a little bit. Although, it seems that EJ was the one doing MOST of the hanging. SEE VIDEO HERE.

EJ IS WALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-08-02T17:07:00.000-07:00

Oh my. Little man is walking. I think I called everyone I know when I found out. Unfortunately it happened while I was at work- but the daycare people were so excited to do a show and tell with him when I got there to pick him up. I walked in and Ms. Laura said, "Cassie- HE'S WALKING- WATCH!!!" I looked down the hallway... ... ... ... and little man was WALKING out to me. It was the cutest damn thing I have ever seen in my life. Seriously. ... ... ... ... Then I cried. A lot. Next thing I know I'm gonna be meeting his girlfriends and sending him off to prom. I am so blessed to have such a sweet and smart son. I love him more than words can express.

Thank you Lord for my wonderful family.
I love you EJ.

Little man is doing really well lately. Still isn't walking yet, but is very close. I went on vacation this past week, to Indiana, and John took care of him all by himself and did a GREAT JOB. What a great dad EJ has. And what a great husband I have. Our little family is doing so well. EJ will start back up at daycare on Monday and I'm confident that he will do fine there. I think being around other kids again is going to help him learn to walk more soon too. His top four teeth and bottom four teeth are all finally in AND he's got several molars he's workin on too. He's doing well with table food and LOVES pizza. I know, we are so healthy. Today he walked up to me while I was eating a granola bar and decided that I should share it with him. I did, and he smacked his lips as he ate it. Cutest little guy ever. He has mastered the art of clapping his hands, waving high, giving high fives (and high tens :-P), flapping his arms like a bird does his wings, he knows how to do a little dance move, and babbling like crazy. He loves to be sang to (especially by yours truly) and it's a good thing because I'd sing to him even if he didn't like it. Every night we read a few short books together and he seems to really dig that. I think he likes the different sounds the words make, and the colors on the pictures. My personal favorite book is "That's not MY dinosaur".

We love our little man and hope you enjoy the pictures.
xoxo

I'm making a picture post and a video post. This is obviously the picture post. :)

EJ has been doing great lately. The other night, he was having a little bit of trouble staying asleep (bad dreams probably) and so I went into his room to soothe him. I got him out of his crib and sat down in the rocker and he actually let me hold him and rock him back to sleep. I miss that about him being a newborn. He did indeed fall asleep- he was even snoring after just a few minutes. So adorable. It is in those moments that I continually realize that being a mother is the best thing on the planet. I love him so much.

Today, is my Dad's birthday. I miss him a lot. Happy Birthday Dad.

Stef, Mike, John, EJ, and I all partied out at the pool today. EJ was so good. He just chilled in his little floaty thing in the water, and then when we were done with that he hung out in his pack and play as the rest of us hung out. I am so excited for Stef and Mike to have kids. Mike's gonna be a great Dad and Stef's gonna compliment beautifully by being the bestest Mom. I am so excited for them.

Gwammy, last weekend, offered to watch little man while John and I go to a Christian Marriage retreat in a couple of weeks, and we decided to take her up on it. I'm very excited to go, but I'm gonna miss my little man like crazy. Then, that following Monday, John is going to a baseball game with Mikey and then I'm going the next day to one with Stef and then that same week, on Thursday, I leave to go to Indiana for a week. I know everyone is wondering if I can be a whole week away from my little man, but I am going to be fine. He's gonna be in the best care with his Daddy and Gwammy and there's nothing to worry about.

Anyhow- I'm uploading tons of video and pictures as we speak so browse through them when you get a minute.

Herro from the world of Mr. EJ.

EJ is growing up so quickly. He turned 14 months a couple of days ago and is just as cute and precious as ever. He is almost walking (he's just going to take off and do it on his own, here in the very near future). He likes to crawl up into his stroller and scare the crap out of me. He has also been taught how to clap his hands, although I'm not sure if he realizes what he is doing half of the time. He is a very strong boy- he pulls down his baby gates now- and crawls wherever it is that he wants to go.

EJ is also healing very well. He has the follow up to his corrective surgery with the doctor tomorrow afternoon. John is going to take him to that appointment because I get a little sick to my stomach when the doctor starts to poke and prod mister EJ. I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. He's a big strong healthy boy.

John went out of town for a couple days last week and I had the best support system set up while he was gone. Stefanie and Mike came over for a few nights and then Grammy and Meg came over the last two nights. I didn't have to be alone in that house at all. It was great. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family that I can rely on in situations like that. EJ and Mike were too cute for words. Mike was sitting in EJ's little chair and EJ crawled right up to him, sat in his lap, and stole the Gatorade Mike was drinking and began drinking it. It was so cute. Stefanie chased him around the house while he laughed and laughed. What a doll.

Here are some pictures and video for you to enjoy of our little man.

We had to go and pick up EJ from daycare early on Thursday because he began vomiting. We took him to the doctor who told us he had two ear infections (unrelated to the vomiting). Dr. Tan said he didn't know why EJ was throwing up, but gave him a two shots, one was an antibiotic for the ear infection, and the other was a anti-nausea drug. The Doc. basically told us to sit tight and wait to see what happens. Well, we did, and EJ is getting better. He continued to throw up during the night and developed a fever, but he's stopped throwing up this morning and began to hold down some Pedialyte. He's also sleeping alot- which I know he needs, since he was up ALL night. We have a follow up appointment in about an hour and he'll receive a second dose of antibiotics and check up on how EJ's doing.

We picked up EJ from daycare today and he was such a happy little boy. Ms. Ella (his primary daycare provider) decorated her house with birthday stuff and sent EJ home with a "birthday cupcake". EJ fell in love. He's still really picky when it comes to table food- however, that logic went out the window when we placed that cupcake O' sugary goodness in front of him.

Happy Birthday EJ

2008-04-03T15:24:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday my son. Mama loves you very much.

Here's a poem in memory of your 1st year:

When you were born
It was your cry I first heard
On a warm sunny day
It was April the third

You are a prefect little boy
Chubby Little thighs
So personable, and oh,
Those great big blue eyes

One year later
It came too fast
These moments I'll remember
Forever they must last

Happy Birthday to you
God bless you my son
I'll love you forever
My heart you have won

2008-03-17T21:58:00.001-07:00

Some pictures for everyone to enjoy. Everyone is doing well at the Dee household. I've sent out the invitations for EJ's first birthday party and I have to say that I am quite excited about the whole thing. He is doing well really lately and has got ALOT of teeth. He's finally not a little vampire baby anymore. Those top two teeth finally decided to come in. Yay! Daycare is going well. He plays outside regularly- so much that they had me bring in shoes, a hat, and sunscreen for him. Hahaha. Apparently he loves to play outside. I know he likes to BE outside, but we don't really have a good "play" backyard- so I didn't know that he enjoyed "playing" outside.

I'm going to be taking him in for his one year appointment sometime within the next few weeks and we'll have him weighed there, but I'm sure he weighs at least 30lbs. He's very healthy. He's eating solids alot more regularly and is actually weaning himself off of formula. We bought him his first 1/2 gallon of WHOLE milk the other day. I haven't given any to him yet, but I probably will within the next few days. He really enjoys his teething biscuits lately and eats the whole thing. Most of the time he gags as he eats the end part of it, but eventually he gets the whole thing down. I'm pretty sure he's got some sort of texture obsession going on. He doesn't like things that have "weird" textures. Especially his food. It's definitely going to be interesting getting this kid into regular food. He does like instant Cinnamon Roll flavored oatmeal and chopped up "nanners" (bananas). No steak and potatoes yet.

We had portraits taken a couple weeks ago and in a few days I'll post 'em up on here for everyone. I just don't have time to scan them all up on here and do it now. But I promise, they'll get up here one day. Hahahaha. I might include my log in name and password for the JC Penny's that took them too- that way anyone who wants can go on the website and order prints for themselves if they'd like. Let me know what ya'll think.

See ya!

For Gwammy!

EJ IS GETTING SO BIG. HE NOW HAS 5 TEETH AND IS WAVING HELLO AND GOODBYE AND WILL SHAKE HIS HEAD NO AT THINGS HE DOESN'T WANT. HE IS SO SPECIAL TO ME AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD BLESSED ME WITH THIS PERFECT LITTLE GIFT. EVERYDAY I LEARN MORE AND MORE HOW BEING A MOM IS THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCE ON THE PLANET.

We went to Grammy's house this weekend and she had this tupperware dish on the ground and EJ played and played and played and played with her. She is amazing. She seriously got on the floor and crawled around and chased him and stuff. I don't even have the energy for that. Hahaha. She calls it her EJ fix. I love it.

We also went over to the Inlaws this weekend. That was fun too. Anna is getting so big. Funny though, that EJ weighs over half what she does. Lord he's a big kid. He did pretty well there except for he is finally getting clingy. I remember being pregnant and thinking that I wanted my child to love me so much that he only wanted ME to hold him- and it's finally happening. Hahaha. He did okay with the dogs and everything. We just gave him his usual dose of Claritin and he seemed alright. Slept like a rock. I think we are all going to try and go to the Renn Fest. That should be interesting. I might see if Grammy wants to watch little man- don't know if I'm ready to take him to an all day thing like that. He just gets so tired and then I get stressed out- which equals no fun for anyone. But I guess we'll see.

Dad and Gerri are coming into town on Wednesday night. I'm very excited to see Gerri and I think I'm gonna buy her flowers or something. I just want to give her a big hug and let her know that I'm here for her if she needs anything. I hope that they will be staying with us again. I had such a good time last time and I'd love for us to have that again. Oh God, I'm so excited. Dad will crap his pants when he sees how big EJ has gotten. PaPaw loves Mr. Eeeej.... but you know who Mr. Eeeej really likes??? Gerri!!!!! <<<<<33333333

Can't wait to see 'em all!!

It's February 2nd and a beautiful day in Arizona. Tomorrow is the Superbowl, which is indeed happening at the University of Phoenix Stadium which is located approximately 5 miles from my home. But the best part is- I get to spend it with my men. Of course, John and I have our rough times, but there is no denying that he is in fact the best father in the world and I am so proud to call him my husband.

In this post you will find a couple picture of EJ with some bruises on him. Here's the deal. A little girl at daycare pretty much attacked him- and needless to say, that little girl- well, she is no longer at the facility. She was only 18 months old... however- I refuse to put EJ into a harmful environment. I love my little man way too much for that. The "attack" took place on a Thursday, so my wonderful hubby took Friday off to stay home with the little man, as he was a little shook up from the whole ordeal. Poor guy. But I thank God all the time that John is the man that he is and will do what he knows is right for our son. Like I said, he is the best father our there.

Grammy and I took EJ to the park today- and it's days like this that remind me of what an amazing mother I have. I'm so glad that there is no one in the world that I would rather have guiding me through motherhood than my mom. She is my inspiration. I become more and more appreciative of everything she has ever done for me, everyday. I love you mom- more than words.

Anyhow- enough sappys. Here's the goods:

Okay, so last night I got EJ to laugh really hard, and I FINALLY caught it on video. Oh his little giggles are so contagious. I love that kid more than life itself. And, for an update, he is obviously feeling TONS better. No runny nose or anything. I haven't tried to go back to the AVENT bottles yet, to see if that allergy is gone, but soon we'll try. I'm sure God will heal him completely and he'll continue to make a great recovery.

So, prior to yesterday, we always gave EJ a bath in his "rubber ducky" bath tub. However, last night we gave him his first "regular" bath because he can finally sit up on his own. There's also one picture of him just playing. He's finally getting to feeling better. THANK GOD! (That one picture of him behind his babygate makes me laugh out loud!!!)

Back to the Hospital and Home again....

2007-12-28T12:19:00.001-08:00

These pictures are from Christmas Eve and a few days after. EJ went to the hospital again ON Christmas and they wanted to admit him back to Thunderbird but we decided against that. I took him home to heal instead and ended up seeing the best Pediatrician the next day. It turns out that little man is allergic to EVERYTHING. Dogs, carpet, dust, the nipples on his bottles, clothes that aren't washed in Dreft, possibly even his formula. We are continuing to monitor his progress (we've found some bottles that he isn't allergic to, so at least he is eating now) and he's on Steroids for the hives and eczema, Claritin for the allergies, and Zithromax for his ear infection. In the past two days there has been MAJOR improvements and I am growing confident that he will make a full recovery from this. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

EJ on the mend...

Big Update

2007-12-14T14:57:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I'm a little bit late with the updates- but here they are none the less. I started working again at the legislature and I just love it. God placed me with some really wonderful people in my office and I'm glad to be back with my "Senate Family". It's very hard to drop my little man off at daycare everyday, but in the end, I know that this is for the best. The little extra income and great health benefits are amazing to have and make it worth wild. I especially love going to pick up EJ from daycare and seeing him smile as I get a yittow man hug from him. He is my world.

Thanksgiving went well- and none of my pictures have EJ in them, because he was basically sleeping through the whole thing, however I'll post some up anyway because it was a historic event. If you are close to my family, you know why... and that's all the detail you get. :)

EJ is growing up so fast these days and has two teeth (Dec. 5th and Dec. 7th) and they are the cutest damn teeth I ever saw. I never thought I would be proud of something like a tooth- but I am. I totally am "that" mom.

He is almost walking now and pulls himself up onto everything. He thinks he owns the house and can just crawl anywhere he wants. His favorite toys are my car keys or my D&B purse (expensive kid)...

Here are a couple pics and vids to update:

So here are a couple new pics. I very rarely put pictures of myself on here, partly because I have gained so much weight and partly because this is EJ's blog- not mine. However, this pic of me in the apron was so "suzy-home-maker" as the lady at the register told me, that I had to post it in Eeej's blog because he is what made me this domesticated woman! Enjoy. Oh yeah, and the second one is of EJ sleeping. Wow... one would think he never does this- but occasionally HE DOES!!! The video is of EJ crawling into his bouncy chair... HE'S SO FLIPPIN' STRONG!!!

Just a couple random pictures to show ya'll. He's growing up so fast! In that one where he is on the floor, I was doing dishes and I took the picture from the perspective of what I could see... it was so funny. He was just so happy sitting there with his leg stuck in the toy. The other "stroller" pic is another one I took when he fell asleep. SO CUTE. Then of course, the bouncer- which he is almost to big for. He can practically roll out of the thing now!

Raaawwwwrrrr

2007-10-16T16:29:00.000-07:00

Be patient and near the end of this video, you can see him attempting to crawl. I don't think he knows what to do when he gets up on all fours, so he kind of just rocks back and forth. If he is just the littlest bit tired, he will start SCREAMING when he maroons himself in this position. I love my little man. He's gonna be crawling for real, in no time.

2007-08-29T20:26:00.000-07:00

I bought this costume for EJ the other day and when I brought it home I was so excited to put it on. I bought it in the biggest size they had (9 months) so that it would still fit for Halloweenie...

Well- it fits him fine now. Blast. I'm gonna have to buy him something else for Halloweenie. (oooh darn- i get to go pick out another cute costume) :-P

The last pic is of his first solids yesterday. He LOVES it.... jk. It's very messy, and he was really more interested in the spoon than the food. I'll put a video of his first ever bite up a little later today!

I haven't brushed my hair in nearly a week. GROSS.

Preggers Week 32

2007-02-16T14:26:00.000-08:00

This is my belley at 32 weeks... and yes, I'm getting large. These last couple of weeks have been really tough for John and I for various reasons, but it's good to know that everything is still sound with the baby. My baby shower is coming up next weekend, and I am hoping for a peaceful, fun-filled- GOOD MEMORY, no drama celebration. John and I registered at Baby's R' Us a couple of weeks ago, and while we were out, we picked up a couple of things. I posted the pics on here... just because I think they are cute. I love having the baby stuff in my house, because it just makes everything that much more real. My church buddy Lana, hooked me up with a bunch of used baby stuff too, which is awesome!

30 Weeks and Goin Strong

2007-01-30T08:51:00.000-08:00

Baby Daddy and I took some pictures last night... right before Ethan turned 30 weeks. YAY! We also bought a stroller that is super cute.

We will have new pictures of Ethan next week, for his 3rd trimester UltraSound. That's totally exciting!

Week 28 Begins and so does the 3rd Trimester :)

2007-01-16T19:51:00.000-08:00

A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE CRIB AND MY BELLY AT WEEK 28.

I went to the doc today and everything appears to be fine. He wanted me to take one more day to rest, so I didn't go to work but I'll be back tomorrow. I pretty much suck at going to work right now, but Ethan is my top priority... everything else comes second.

Anyhow, McKernan gave me all sorts of literature on how to register for birthing/parenting/Dad classes and I will hopefully be signing up for those tomorrow while I'm at work. John is totally cool with taking them, so I'm just gonna go ahead and sign us up for all that are available. Can you believe that there are only 12 weeks left? OH MY GOD!! I am so incredibly excited!! I made a shopping list today of the things that we still need to pick up and hopefully we'll be up to some shopping this weekend and can get a bulk of it taken care of. I know that I've still got roughly two weeks to do all this, but it just feels like there is constantly so much stuff that I STILL need to do. Oh yeah, I also took the glucose screening test this morning too, and no news is good news with that one. If I don't here anything back, they said that everything is fine. I scheduled my next appointment for three weeks out (I think it's on the 6th) and that appointment will include a 3-D ultrasound of Ethan (which I LOVE!!) so I'm totally excited for that appointment. Then, I will begin to have appointments every two weeks until 36 weeks, then after that, every week. Glorious.

Oh so Sick...

There's a little picture of the belleh. Not much has changed in the last few weeks... as far as the belly goes. I was in the hospital on Wednesday night and Thursday all day with some unknown, ass-kicking bug. It was really hard for me to do anything for a couple days, and being how today is Monday and I'm still trying to recover- it's been rough. I thank God that me and Ethan are okay, but it's still really scary for me as a first time Mom. Wednesday night at the hospital began in the Labor and Delivery area of the hospital, and OH MY GOD!!.... what a scary and totally intimidating experience that was. All the pregnant women I saw, and all the little babies swaddled tightly in the nursery was... ... ... undescribable. It took everything I had not to start crying at the very sight of them. Everything just seems to be happening so fast. I mean, I'm 28 weeks tomorrow. We've only got 12 weeks left before this huge responsibility and blessing is born into our lives. It's a remarkable feeling and sometimes a little overwhelming. I'm hoping that when it does come time to deliver- that God will bless me with the courage and strength I need to go through with this.

I'm not sure how I am going to continue working through these next several weeks... literally. I have such a hard time getting back into the swing of things since session began. It's alot more stuff to do than I remember, and I'm really feeling like I have taken on too much. And now, with school starting- I have no clue how I am going to get through this. I may have to leave work a little sooner than I thought I was going to have to. I'll keep going as long as a can, but eventually- I know that it's going to become too much. I feel like such a whimp. Being pregnant is alot harder than I imagined it would be.
