Monitor

as some of you may know and remember, little guy come home on a heart/apnea monitor. a couple months ago the pulmonologist (lung doc) that little guy sees told us that we could stop using it but it was our decision. we ended up keeping it a while longer because it was still alarming with apnea spells. while some of them may have been false alarms we weren't willing to risk it. the whole preemie thing had been so bizarre to us. the monitor was like our safety blanket. i should have posted last thursday, the safety blanket has been taken away from us. don't worry, it wasn't brutally taken or anything. we willingly gave it up. the monitor company did a down load of the monitor on feb 14th and from that day to march 20th, when they came and picked up the monitor, he had no alarms. it was a huge blessing. so he's been a week without it and he's doing great and so are we.

Overlooked #3

the subject for overlooked #3 was your fridge. something in it, the whole inside, the outside. so here is mine and what i have to say about the firdge and some about grocery shopping.

see the picture at the top (the wallet sized one) of the baby in the orange and blue...that's my baby boy.

the top of our fridge is covered in pics of fam and friends, held on with mags of places me and my hubby have been

we usually go to the grocery store once a week, on the weekend. i have a love/hate relationship with the grocery store. we usually go to walmart or publix.
lists....i love to write lists. something about crossing of the things i've done or gotten. like i've accomplished something in buying milk that week. (pathetic i know.) i also like coupons and try to use them as much as possible. saving every little bit helps.
yoplait...this is something we buy every weekend.
faves:
orange cream
lemon burst
vanilla
strawberry banana

the row of mags that start with the strawberries and end with the little people are mags that were on my hubby's nana's fridge. the wooden round one at the end is the one that we bought on our honeymoon. and the states are some of the states that my hubby and i have been to.

Tags

tags, tags, tags.....little guy love some tags. tags on pillows (pillows is another story of things he loves), tags on blankets, tags on books, tags on stuffed animals, tags on chew toys. after observing his love for tags i got out his taggie books. i love these books because they are so colorful and the tags on the end of them are fun and textured. however, he doesn't like his taggie books. he would rather play with the actually tag on the taggie book. and then he gets frustrated when he can't get it or the book falls open on his face. it's pretty funny to watch your eight month old have somewhat of a temper tantrum over a tag. i love him so much and just thought that i would share his new love with you guys.

Sweet Smiles

i've had an ear ache, for going on 8 days now...i'm somewhat sleep deprived because little guy kept us up a good bit this weekend...and it's monday. but i am going to make it because when i go to get baby in the morning to take him to granny's he greets me with the biggest smiles and when i pick him up he is so cuddly so it makes the day so much better. :)
