First Tooth!

Here are a few more new pics of our cutie pie. Although tonight he wasn't so cute. He's cutting his first tooth and has been so fussy...something we're certainly not used to! He's been drooling like crazy the last few days, and when he acted so awful this evening, I checking in his mouth and sure enough, there's a bump on his gums and you can see where it's about to poke through. I can't stand him being in pain and hope it gets better soon!

Lindsey Lissau Photography

Below are just a couple of pics of Case's newborn photoshoot (from when he was two weeks old). The rest are from his most recent 3 month shoot. We go to a great photographer, Lindsey Lissau (lindseylissau.com). She does such a good job. These are just some of our favorites.

Strept Throat and Back to Work

So, after the ear infections my last days of maternity leave got even worse. I then got strept throat and it was awful. My in-laws had to come back to help and then my parents came to help out! Thank goodness they are close enough to come when we really need them! So instead of starting back to work on Monday, I officially went back on Tuesday. Case seems to like day care and I think he is the best baby there. They say he never fusses and today I picked him up and every baby was crying but him. He was just sitting in the bouncy seat watching all the other babies cry! I don't know how we got so lucky to have such a good baby! It's such a blessing and makes going to work so much easier! The pics above are of Case and my Dad watching football and of Case all bundled up before heading out to school.

Worst Week Ever

This week my ears have both been completely swollen shut and I have been in some serious pain. I have had three knee surgeries and a baby and nothing has hurt as bad as the ear infections I've had this week. I had to go to an ENT doctor and have "wicks" put in my ears so the medicine could get inside them. I have gone over four days not being able to hear anything but my own talking and chewing. I've been about to go CRAZY!!! The good thing was that they were outer ear infections, so I wasn't contagious, and didn't have to worry about Case getting sick. Thank goodness James' mom was able to come down on Monday and stay for a few days to help me out. I couldn't take care of my baby! She was a real life saver!

What a way to spend my last week of maternity leave! Makes me so sad!!!

Below are a few fairly recent pics.

Case got a little TLC last weekend from his Mimi and Nanna in Mtn. View.
