I am assuming you have guessed by now that the internship was a little more difficult that I had planned on. It wasn't the internship but the papers that went along with it. I thought I had finished all of my papers and then two of the big ones snuck up on me. Well, enough about that. It is OVER!! Yea!! I finished my internship last Friday and I graduated Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 10 a.m. I was in the hospital at the time awaiting Jennifer (Henig) Trott's (my cousin) baby. They did not find out what they were having and it was so much fun. For those of you who do not know... she and Bobby had a healthy baby BOY!! Robert Barnes Trott "Barnes." I love the name!
As far as David goes... we are at it again. We have ANOTHER ear infection. We were supposed to get tubes this past Tuesday, but Saturday, Sunday, and Monday he started running a fever, which, at times was 104. We took him in and they decided to do an eardrum test. They said his eardrums had so much fluid that they wouldn't even move. Poor baby! So, we postponed the surgery and put him on another antibiotic. We are set up to go in Monday to check him out and Tuesday for the surgery. We will all be much happier once these tubes get in place!
He is such a "big" boy these days. As far as attitude, yes! As far as growth, no. The precious little angel has already shown me that he is going to have a temper like his daddy. Don't get me wrong... he is so sweet! I have just LOVED being home with him and it's only been four days! But, he does pitch his fits if he doesn't have something he wants. He is pretty defiant too. I hear that little boys are like that though. It's funny because I can remember seeing little boys pitch fits with their mommies and saying, "my child will not act like that." Now I can say that I have certainly not taught him to pitch a fit, nor do I let him do it. But I can't help that he does it. So, sorry to all you mommies that I said that about. It's not your fault. Now, if you don't do anything about it... then it is! :) David hasn't grown much. He is still around 16 or 17 lbs. Thank goodness!! I don't think I could carry him in that carrier if he was any bigger! :) He is just a sweet, little bundle of joy!
Here are a few pictures and videos of him over the last month or so!
Matthew took this video. It was pretty funny. We were in the kitchen and David would come looking for us and just start laughing. Another belly laugh! He has given us wonderful belly laughs since he was 4 months old... and he's still going! :)
We were at the lake with Mandie and Brian and their little girl, Harlie. Harlie decided she would introduce David to some of her "moves." Oh no... Brian better watch out!
He loved his new swing!
He attended his first official Easter egg hunt and wasn't even scared of the Easter bunny!
David hung out with Big.
We had a very fun Easter. The Easter bunny came to see us in the morning. At lunch we went to Big and Gainie's and then we had a huge Easter egg hunt at Boom Pa and DeDe's!
He played patty cake with his Nana.
This was on Saturday when he started acting like he didn't feel good. For an almost eleven month old who is non-stop... this was all he wanted to do for three days. My poor baby!
Here is David in the doctor's office on Monday...when we found out he was on ear infection number 9!
If you live in Montgomery, you know that the city flooded today. I had a doctor's appointment at 10:30 to get some x-rays on my wisdom teeth that have to come out. (Another long story... yes, wisdom teeth just now coming in at 27 years old.) I was on my way to take David to my dad's office so they could watch him while I was at my appointment. I didn't realize the rain was as bad as it was. To make a very long story short, I started driving down Vaughn Road. It was totally flooded. I turned around and headed towards Ryan Road and the interstate. It was totally flooded. I was going to turn around and head back home, but the road to home was blocked off and flooded too. I headed down Atlanta Highway...it was awful. There were cars in the middle of water with people stuck in them. The water was up to the windows and people were inside. I was so scared. Mainly because I had David with me and I wasn't sure what I would do if I got stuck or swept away. I veered off Atlanta Hwy towards Bell Road. Well, it was flooded too. There were four cars stuck in the middle. I turned down Monticello... my last resort to a way out and it was flooded. There were four cars stuck in the road... kids were hanging out the windows and parents were trying to get their doors open to get out. It was so scarey. Needless to say, I freaked out. Truly... I had a breakdown. I just thought I was never going to get out of there with David. It was awful. I laugh now, but it wasn't funny. Note to self: Don't get out in the rain...the bad rain. Just don't! I ended up pulling off into a parking lot and then trudged through the water that was up to my windows. It was so frightening, but I made it through and to my dad's office were I stayed until the sun came out.
Anyway, here are some pictures of David... post trauma in the waters. Obviously the water didn't bother him!
