Judge for yourself

I have been really working with Tegan and he is sort of lifting his head while on his belly. Of course when I took out the camera, he pretty much stopped.

The middle picture is to show you all how long he is. Everyone says that he is so big, and he is but I have just started to notice that he has gotten so long. Like all his 3 to 6 months sleepers don't fit anymore b/c he can't straighten out his legs in them.

Christmas at Mom's

We always do a early Christmas at my mom's with just the siblings and their families. We had it last night and I didn't get to enjoy the food or the present opening like normal. Right about time to eat Tegan started screaming....not crying but screaming the same scream he had when he was getting a needle stuck in him to draw blood. I thought it was all the loud noise but taking him in another room didn't help. Finally we put him in the car seat and Paul took him for a ride to make him go off to sleep. When he came back his diaper was very dirty and he was a whole new baby. I'm hoping it was just a little tummy ache. He has been fine ever since. Sorry, I wasn't able to get pictures over there b/c I was dealing with him the whole time but I will get some over the next few days. We have a busy two days ahead of us. I'm already tired just thinking about it.

On the other hand....I got a great picture frame from Hannah, who drew my name. I love it. Rylee has been in heaven with all her Hannah Montana and Princess stuff she got. She loves it. Tegan got himself a new singing and colorful mobile for above his bed, some sleepers, two packs of diapers (thanks so much) and a little truck. Paul got a practice putting golf thingy....not sure what to call it but he liked it a lot also.

All Better

Rylee is all better! She is feeling better and I am so glad that is over. Hopefully we will have a sick free holiday this year. Don't worry (my family) if anyone else gets sick in my household we will stay away for our Christmas on Saturday night. We don't want to spread anything around.

My sick little girl

Despite my best efforts to keep Rylee well during this time of year (and the rest of the year), she woke up last night at 1:30 am throwing up.....or as she puts it....vomiting. It was horrible. Let's just say she had hot dogs for supper last night. Anyways she threw up three times and has dry heaved a little this morning but just ate a Popsicle and seems fine. I hope!
We think it came from church b/c rumor has it one of the little girls in her Sunday School class started throwing up right at the end of Sunday School on Sunday. But who knows, she is in class everyday with like 32 other kids.

I sent Paul off to do some of our last minute Christmas shopping just in case me and him get sick or Tegan gets sick and we can't finish it up. You know me....Miss Germaphobe.....I have felt sick ever since cleaning up her throw up last night. I don't want to rush my kids growing up but I will be glad when they can make it to the trash can. Which Rylee can but she always gets sick first in her sleep and can't make it.

O.k. enough about that junk. No update on Tegan yet or my job situation.

Christmas Program Show out

Rylee was in our Church's Christmas program tonight. She was so amazing. This is here second time being in the program and let me tell you she is not shy. Both times in the program she has stolen the show. She gets up there and does some silly eye catching things. Her and another little boy where fighting over the baby doll in the manger. She was Mary in the play. Then we went down stairs and Santa came to visit. She loved every minute of it and even stopped Santa to ask him if her mommy told him what she wanted for Christmas. Of course when he ask what does she want, she said a Hannah Montana movie. Lucky for me, Santa has already checked that gift off of his list. Here are some pictures of Rylee as Mary!

Christmas in the air

Wanda (Amy's mother-in-law) bought Rylee, Tegan and Leah matching Christmas outfits. Rylee and Leah have the same dresses and then Tegan has a little overall sleeper thingy. She requested that we take a picture of all of them together in their outfits so this morning they all wore them to church and we took a picture right after. Here is the one I got. I couldn't take many b/c I was on stand by making sure Rylee didn't drop Tegan.

Out of service...

My internet has not worked since Saturday. It has about killed me and Paul not to have our internet. So here is the run down....Tegan has been sleeping o.k. in his bed at night. The night before last he was in there from 9:30 until 9:15 the next morning. That was amazing. Tegan has been having a bad past few days, he is an angel in the morning and the screams all afternoon. Not sure what that is all about.
Paul's grandma is sick and in the hospital. The aren't expecting her to make it. I guess that will make for yet another happy Christmas.
I finally had my first job interview today but they say they aren't making a decision until the end of the month.
I went to the Dr. yesterday and he officially decided that I don't have a hernia but he can't tell me exactly what it is. So they scheduled me for a ct scan on December 19th which I won't go through with if we don't have insurance by then.
Tegan goes to the Dr. tomorrow. Anyone who has talked to me recently knows that I have been in a panic about his eyes. He doesn't seem to focus on much and he isn't following toys which he should be by now so I am taking him to let them check his eyes and developement. That's it. No new pictures today! Sorry!
