Well we got another good report at the Dr. Office this past wednesday. My little man is 17 pounds and 13 ounces- WOW I never thought that he would be able to double his birthweight (9.5 lbs) but he is only 3 ounces away and well he had a stinky before his weigh in and it was WAY more than 3 ounces lol! He is in the 60th percentile for his weight. He is 27 inches long which is in the 75th percentile (Dr. Hanson said hes looking tall ) and finally his HC (head circumference) was 43 which is also 60th percentile. He did have some green snot and a pretty sad cough :( but the Dr. said everything else looked goo and no fever so its just his first cold. Hes been such a trooper there have only been a few instances where he has just looked really puny other than that he is always on the go. He's still working on crawling he is currently in the scooting phase he will get on all 4 then plop himself forward and push up again, it quite cute. His sitting up has gotten much better Dr. Hanson said he was doing great bc most babies can only sit up for a few seconds at his age and he can do it for a good 45 sec to a min-but then its TIMBER! Just recently he has found the pups to be fascinating and they are happy to let him tug on them, I think they think he is petting them. And I think the funniest new thing is the highchair we are getting him into a routine of breakfast lunch and dinner and well the dogs have already caught on and since they know food will go flying during the animated feeding frenzy the can all be found underneath the highchair! I love it! and speaking of highchair it doesnt play very well! We had a run in earlier this week and well I am really beginning to wonder ig I need to go get my foot checked out?? It wasnt pretty and thank goodness Will isnt talking yet bc im pretty sure my vocabulary wasnt kid friendly :( My foot rammed into the back whel of the highchair and bent my pinky toe back but the funny part is that is what hurts its about halfway down the outside of my right foot and it KILLS! Each day it is gettign worse instead of better so I will continue to hope for the best and maybe by monday if it still hurts i will go get it checked out???
But enough griping and typing I have a busy day todayIts clean house and get costume ready day! I have the O'Connell Halloween Party Saturday and then I have my Tastefully Simple Dip party nect Wednesday so I have lots to do!
Ok so we were able to change our photoshoot for Wills 6 month photos for today instead of wed. This was fabulous bc even today Will was looking a little under the weather I think he is getting a little cold bu he still keeps trucking along! But ne ways the above pics are fro Kim Miller at Ramblinrosephotography.com She did our wedding photos so it was a must that we have her snap some shots of Will and although he was his little chipper self he was still a good sport and the above are just a few that she posted on facebook we should get to see the rest next week. I love them already and although I sad i would only pay for even pics and I would do my own odd month pics we may have to go back for 9 month photos..hmmmm??? I recommend her to everyone they were so patient and let us feed him to get him in the mood! the naked with hat pics are my fave thus far!
After the photoshoot I went and got my h1n1 shot and now my arm and head hurt go figure but atleast i wont bring home Will any presents from work.....hopefully! Well thats it for now oh but wait i almost forgot to mention i put the pics in the cute little collage i am slowly getting the hang of this photoshop thing!
well the last work day of the week is approaching a close...FINALLY! It has not been a good weekend to say the least! But oh well it is over and I will have yet another whole week off to spend with my friends and family (really trying to focus on the good things about being a weekender rather than the bad :) as for the week ahead we have quite a busy schedule. I hope to be photographing some coworkers children monday and or tuesday. Erin and I and our children will be going to the cedar farms pumpkin patch on tuesday for a mini photo shoot. I am photographing her son in return for the awesome longall that she made Will (pics to come) so we should have an awesome day. Although Will will not have a clue as to what is going on I am going to let him pick out a wee little pumpkin so we can decorate it for his first Halloween! Cant wait! Tuesday is actually Wills 6 month "half birthday" so we will be celebrating with a yummy half cake (that he cant eat but I sure will enjoy!) I got the idea from a friend so i am super excited! Wednesday we go to the Dr. for our 6 month check up and then I probably made the stupidest (is that a word) executive decision ever but I scheduled his 6 month pics with our wedding photographer Kim (Ramblinrosephotography.com) for 2 pm AFTER his appt with shots :( Hoping for the best bc hes done good after his shots thus far but the REASON (see I have a motive) is that Joey will be off bc of his appt so I really want family pics too so if it doesnt work out hopefully we will figure out in the first few minutes and we can reschedule or atleast thats the plan? Moving on thursday I have my 6 month check up woo hoo, the only thing about the week that I am NOT looking forward too! and then Friday Joey has three back to back rain make up softball games, the ironic part is that it is suppose to rain friday-but dont tell him that! And saving the best for last Sat is the O'Connell Halloween Bash which is like the best party of the year and even though i will have to be a good little cabbage patch kid I am sure that I will have so much fun and Will is going to be the cutest little....guess you will have to wait a see :) Ta Ta for now.
Ok so another week has flown by man they werent kidding when they said time flies when you are having fun! This week we took some fall pics (see above) really we just played in the yard since it felt amazing outside and i had to snap some shots bc hey thats what i do! I am excited to say that will has hit a huge milestone this week he now has 2 teeth, well they hae broken the skin atleast and we have two little nubs. Its so exciting I cant wait to get a picture of them but for now he isnt showing them off to much! On to another subject I entered will into the gap casting call contest so if everyone would please go to family.go.com/gapcastingcall/entries/cbousson and if that doesnt work just google gap casting call and type in cbousson to search for Will's page and vote. I think I linked the link (lol) to the blog title so click on that and it should take you to Wills page! Besides a HORRIBLE day at work everything is just peachy but daddy and my baby just got home so I must go and enjoy some loving. Night Night! So I am still up and what can I say I am a bit obsessed at this point. I have now figured out the font on the blog and let me just tell you the photoshop part was the easiest! I have been working on this ALL night but I must say I am very pleased with the outcome! My next project is to figure out how to use the buttons and the blog dividers I have the cutest little owl but I have no clue how to use him...(tear). I must say that my inspiration has come from Jessica at lovefromtexas.com she is practically family and well her blog is just to die for! I have bugged her many a time and she has always helped out (p.s. if you read this I will be bugging you about the above problem soon). Like I have said before to I just got photoshop and I am just dying to figure it out for the sake of my blog and my hopeful photo career. I am thinking of creating a blog for my potential business venture but I wanted to get good at the whole blog thing here before I created one for possible clients to view. An on that note if anyone knows anyone who is wanting photos done (i.e xmas cards, kid shots etc) please send them my way I am really wanting every oppurtunity to perfect my skills! I spoke with a few people who have seen my work and they helped me come up with my "signature" package. More to come on that! I am by no means a "professional" but everyone has to start somewhere and I am ready to jump in! You can see my work on facebook and I plan to post some of my favorite peices on here soon. think thats about it for now I really need to sleep so that when my child wakes up at 7 I wil be as chipper as can be :)
Ok so after having a serious meltdown trying to figure out how to use photoshop I have made a break through..... my blog is finally cute! I still have a long ways to go but I feel very accomplished at this very moment! I do not see how people use this it is so insane. I googled some tutorials and have slowly started figuring stuff out! I hope to make my blog even cuter as time goes on but for now this is it I just had to share my excitment with everyone. As for life its same old same old which is good with me! We celebrated my moms birthday this evening by cooking steak and fries...YUM! I also made it to moms group this morning and really enjoyed todays chapters. Especially the chapter on Fear it put a lot into perspective for me. And to make it even better I found out that the author of the book we are read " My Bathtub is overflowing but I feel drained" is coming to hope in January to speak to the moms groups...YEAH! More details to come. But as for me I am gonna go back to exploring the wide world of photoshop> More to come :)
