What day is it?

Wow, time has flown by once again. I can't believe that January is almost over, that it has been a month since we we're in Wyoming and that the Packers didn't make it to the Super Bowl!!

Ok, so here's the briefing on our trip. We got stuck in a blizzard on the way there and had to sleep in the truck at a rest stop south of Lamar, CO. The Dodge Mega Cab paid for itself that night, we had plenty of room..Travis and Copper up front, me and Jackson in the back. On the way back we had to drive during the day due to another snow storm that closed I-25. Jackson travels a lot better when he is sleeping. Looking back it wasn't too bad and I can add my name to the short list of moms that have traveled 18+ hours in a car with a 12 week baby. (That's me patting myself on the back :-)

Our time in Wy was fun we spent lots of time with family and got to see our good friends again. Of course no one was excited to see us, it was all about Jackson. I did make the mistake of showing up at Brian and Kerri's with out Jackson one evening (I was just dropping off a present and didn't want to drag him out in the frigid cold....it was SOOOOO COLD), boy did I hear about that. And I thought people would be happy just to see me...whatever, it's all about the baby now! HA! HA!

January has been a rough month for us. Jackson has been congested and not sleeping well at all. We found out last Monday that he has had a sinus infection for the last month. Then last weekend Travis, Jackson and I all got the stomach flu. Vomiting and diarrhea.....it was horrible. At one point on Thursday @ 2 am Travis was hovered over one toilet, I over the other and Jackson was in our bed SCREAMING because he was laying in his own vomit. It was at that point that I thought "this can not be happening, we should be living in Wy so that we have 4 grandma's on call and taking shifts helping us." But we made it through and are doing much better, I guess it could have been worse. I heard someone say once, "God only gives you what you can handle" well I must be super woman because that SUCKED!!

Here's some pics from the last month....


Kids are great when their eyes are closed and their sleeping
Big cousin Sarah holding JT for the 1st time. The baby paparazzi was out in full swing
Getting ready for big Christmas Eve day festivities
The "older cousins". JT with Katie, Mason, Trenton and Sophia. They thought he was cute but kinda boring.

The littlest cousin, Erica. She is only 3 months older than JT. Such a little cutie.

All the little cousins playing together. Sarah is not so sure of these 2 little people, but she does loving helping keep track of JT's paci.
A deer in Travis's mom and dad's backyard.
JT's 1st white Christmas. It snowed Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning.
Daddy and JT getting some rest at 4 am on the couch after some nose irrigation. JT was so congested and would wake up every few hours because he couldn't breath.

Tara's oldest, Tawnee, with JT
Tara's little handful, Taelyn, with JT. This little girl is HILARIOUS
Sitting in his Bumbo, laughing.
Testing out the new high chair Tara gave us....It is AWESOME!! JT likes the way the toys taste.
A few nights later we gave him his first cereal!!
Seems to like it!
Yep, most of it ended up on his bib. Still not so sure about it being in his mouth..his face says "What the...??"
Naked baby!! His little belly is so cute.
Those little blue things sticking up are his feet. He has discovered the fun of grabbing his feet.


Have a good Tuesday!
