What a great little helper!! I love you Timothy!

The size that fits

The other day my dad asked us what size clothes Timothy wears (my guess is so that they can get him an outfit for his birthday). Robby cleverly answered, "The size that fits!" I thought it was kind of silly when he said it, but yesterday I realized how true the statement was!
Timothy's apparel yesterday...

Pants: 3-6 months
onsie: 9 months
shirt: 12 months
socks: 18-36 months
zipperhoodie: 24 months

Ha Ha!! So, what size does Timothy wear? The SIZE THAT FITS!

Trama for Mama

So I had my first REAL Trama as a mother the other day... Timothy is learning to walk and getting really good. But he does fall a lot...usually he is an expert at falling and missing things. Not this time. he was in my room and conked his head on my dresser, right on the handle. He cried, so I went to get him and what did I find??? a hole in the middle of his forehead! I almost freaked out. (Hence the fact that there are no pictures of the wound... my mind was not on grabbing the camera) I was stuck in a debate with myself about where to take him... Emergency?? not that serious... Doctor's office?? they were at lunch (how convenient)... instacare? the closest I knew of was in Springville... SoI called Robby at school and he calmly told me to take him in to the urgent care that BYU health Center... Oh yeah, duh, we have BYU insurance!!!
By this point, (well about 1 minute after the bonk) Timothy was calm and happy and ready to play! (i stopped the bleeding with a cold wet cloth and put a band-aid on it.)
We went to the clinic and sure enough he needed stitches... ahhh! (he is not even 1 yet and he has already gotten stitches...I think that I have a long road of hospital visits ahead!!!)You can probably click to see it bigger.So we went into the room, were told he would need about 3-4 stitches and then we got ready... He was strapped into the "papoose" to keep him from wiggling (thought he would hate it and fight it...) Nope, he calmly laid there and stared at the light above the bed. Then with the nurse holding his head and me staying within view, the doctor cleaned the gash, gave him the local shots and still NO CRYING and fussing or anything! He amazed everyone. As the first stitch went in he started to cry a bit (apparently the numbing hadn't kicked in yet) but I just gave him is plug and he was fine. he just contentedly waited and watched the light. AMAZING! he got 2 stitched and a cool band-aid!
As we were leaving, the front desk ladies said, "oh, he didn't get stiches?" I said that he did and they said, "Wow, we didn't here him scream..." My child is amazing and so cute! We get them out Monday!

Other Timmy FUNNY'S
This is what i found when I came to respond to his distressed crying
I was busy in my room and timothy started crying out (like he does when we are in the bathroom and he wants in) so I called to him to come to me, but he just kept crying. So I went to investigate and found him stuck in the dryer, wanting to get out. (meanly, I took a picture first) How sad!
Fun with daddy

My little climber... any chance he gets, he is climbing up, up, up

walking (sorry its sideways)

Caught Red Hnaded: I was cooling a loaf of bread the table, he was eating a snack at the table. I turn around to 1 minute and he has pulled the towel his way to get the bread... I caught him picking apart the crust! Yum!

my yummy peanut butter valentines (see previous post for expanation)

WAY too LONG

So I was reading a friend's blog today and I read a post entitled "It's been a while"... I think our definitions of that are a little bit different! (her "while" is maybe 2 weeks... mine- over 2 1/2 months) I know, I am Horrible at this.
My excuse... I don't have internet at home and do you realize how hard it is to try and use a library computer with a 9-10 month old baby... or find time to go by yourself when your husband is at work or school ALL day? Well, it's hard. But Robby was kind enough to let me come to campus and just do my thing for as long as I needed while he watched Timothy! (it is a Saturday!!) So after being gone from home for 1 1/2 hours, I have finally caught up on all my "online browsing" and am ready to post!

Things I wanted to post about, but didn't get to...

HAPPY ANNIVERSAY!!!
Dec. 22,2009 Robby and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary! It's hard to believe sometimes that is has really been three years... yet that is hasn't been longer... I love You Robby!Our family picture... taken right before Robby and I went out to dinner.

CHRISTMAS!
We took a trip up to Alberta for Christmas to be with family! We had such a great time and everybody loved Timothy! It was great! Silly me didn't get any pictures with my camera of him opening gifts... it is all on the video camera... but here are some pics from the trip.Snuggling up with grandpa!

Poor Timothy got sick while we were there... a cold in his nose and eyes... the poor boy had goop in his eyes all the time. When the goop was cleared away,it looked like he has been in a fist fight. But his was such a trooper and remained happy despite his obvious discomfort.

Janurary...
Timothy cheering at his first BYU Basketball game! He had so much fun!!! (Notice how empty it is... we went to a Women's game just to get him used to it! the low key atmosphere was great!)

BLOG OPENER
Feb. 7 was the anniversary of starting this blog... wow! A year! Crazy! I am certainly glad I did it... although my whopping 28 posts in a year is pretty sad. Happy Birthday blog! Maybe 2010 will be better (it's doubtful!)

VALENTINES!!
Feb. 14th! was a good day! Robby came home from his trip to Reno for is CM competition! I made some yummy peanut butter heart cookies (pictures to come). Robby got me roses and CHOCOLATE!!!

I guess we are pretty much caught up... Timmy is starting to walk (a few steps here and there when we is feeling confident and balanced). Robby stays busy with work and school. I stay busy as a mom, babysitter, and sub.

here are some of my favorite pictures...
