Snow Day

Last week Louis' day care closed early one day so he got to come to work and play with mama! It was a fun afternoon. He crawled around and got to knock stuff off moms desk. He visited and played with the other girls in the office. It was nice having the little guy there.

Daddy time

In this pic Daddy is getting Louis out of his car seat and saying 'welcome home' after a long day at school. Louis is usually tired from playing with all the kids and is ready for dinner which means he's slightly cranky. Daddy always gets him out of his car seat and holds him while Louis adjust to being home. It so sweet. Louis couldn't have gotten a better papa.

Battling Pink Eye

Louis came home from daycare on Monday with some sort of eye infection. Luckily, the doctor called him in a prescription for eye drops which magically cleared them up in a matter of hours. Just a couple more days of the drops and he'll be back to 100%.

Here's a photo of his eyes on Monday when we got home. Looks bad, doesn't he?

Getting into everything

Now that Louis is crawling nothing is off limits. He get's into everything! Opens drawers, empties laundry baskets and trash cans, pulls everything off of the coffee table. You name it, he does it! I love watching him explore and go after new things. Most of our doors and outlets are already baby-proofed but I think it's time to get those baby gates up and get all the valuables put away.

9 mos check-up

Louis had his 9 mos. check up yesterday and everything went well. Plus, he didn't get any shots - which was music to my ears! Watching him get those dang things makes me feel so guilty. You know they hurt and they can't just get one shot - they have to get at least one in each leg - Ouch!

Anyway, Louis is growing. He is 19 lbs. and 31 inches long. Tall and skinny but we've heard that before :) I took this pic with my camera phone while we were waiting for the doctor to come in.

i'm 9 mos old

this weekend louis turned 9 mos old. he's doing so many things - crawling really well, starting to try and feed himself, putting himself to sleep in his bed. i am amazed at how quickly he's growing and how soon we'll be celebrating his first birthday. being a mom is truly an awesome job. i love it! and, i have a fantastic husband who supports me when i think it's time to try new things with louis. xoxo. feeling great about 2010.
