Gordon gets sick

On December 28th my baby got sick. He was throwing up everything. It lasted 2 days and was the worst feeling I've ever had. He would cry then I would cry.

Here he is having a popsicle. He wasn't taking anything, he hated pedialyte so the nurse said almost anything was good to try. We were just worried he'd get dehydrated.

We were so thrilled after 2 days when he was able to hold down his formula again. Here he is being held by Daddy. He got spoiled being held so much while sick but we didn't mind.

Gordons 1st Christmas!

Here he is opening his first gift from Santa!

We all had a wonderful Christmas. I almost couldn't find this $5 bib that I had to buy for my baby, somehow it got lost in the laundry. We went to Gram and Pap Howards house in the morning and Gordon had a great time opening gifts and he even took an hour nap.

Here he is opening some more gifts and wondering. "who put this silly bow on my head?"

He has teeth!

You can't see them but there's a tooth there. December 14th Gordon got his first tooth.. its in the front and it came kind of quietly. I was thrilled of that but I found out later that the rest are going to be quite a challenge.

His second tooth came on December 25th at bedtime and Gordon definately let us know it was cutting through. Two down and alot more to go! As soon as he lets us get a good picture we'll be sure to share it with you.

Holiday Pictures

Its a busy time here at our house so I thought I'd just show you a few holiday pictures.


Heres Gordon loving his tree!

Heres one we used on the Christmas card.. he could totally be a girl with those lashes!

I think he looks like he might be able to get in trouble soon in this picture.

Gordon likes Santa!

I was so excited to take Gordon to see his very first Santa. I could kick myself now for not video taping it.. but thats totally like me to forget. We went early so we wouldn't have to wait in line and took him to Monroeville mall. We were so pleased with how great the Santa looked and Gordon didn't cry. I wished he'd of smiled better but ooo well!

Our Little Turkey!

We had a very nice Thanksgiving.. it was a little hectic as all holidays are but I was happy to eat eat eat.. having just finished a way too long diet. Jeff pulled his back out a few days before the holiday so he ended up not working the night before so he was with us the entire day.

Gordon loved seeing everyone and getting passed around all day. He didn't have any turkey but he ate up his sweet potatoes. He was needless to say exhausted at the end of the day and cried at his Pap and Grams house or we would of stayed longer. Hes definately what we are thankful for this year and every year.

He says Da Da !

Thats right folks.. he says DA DA!.. not Ma Ma! but its ok I won't hold it against him. The funny thing is Jeff was trying to make him say ma ma.. I was trying to make him say Da Da.. it was bound to happen though as the da da is much easier to say. I told Gordon its perfectly ok with me.. just as long as he loves me the tiniest bit more then his Daddy : )
