Before Desmond was born, I was in bed at 9pm. I would look forward to 9pm! Because it was bed time and I could snuggle up and just be happy to finally be doing nothing! Ohh how times have changed. Now I look forward to 9pm because that means I have about 2 hours of ME TIME! Desmond is in bed, Jackie is in bed. The house is all mine. I get to surf the internets, or watch a movie, or catch up on my tivo shows. Ohh it is good times! Getting to 9pm is no easy task. Here is an example of what today was like.

Desmond woke up at 7am. Bathe Desmond. Bathe Dogs. Bathe myself. Feed Desmond. Clean House. Go to grocery store. Go to Perry to Feed Sue. Make Dinner. Chase Dutchy around the neighborhood. Clean Kitchen. Clean Desmond’s bottles and refill them. And just when I think it is safe to finally sit down I hear a weird noise from the kitchen in one of the dog cages, and this is what I come up upon….my day never ends.

He loves Foam Beds. This is not the 1st time he has done this either.

Six months ago today, life changed, over the last six months I have shared with you all this little boys journey, along with our journey as parents. In the 6 plus years that I have been doing a website, and the 3 plus years of blogging I think the last 6 months have been the most colorful and exciting. Thank you all for sharing with me my joy and coming each day for more. I hope I have been able to bring a smile and get a laugh.

As an added bonus, here is a little clip taken today of Desmond in his Jumperoo! Thank you Kelly and Joey for this GLORIOUS device, as you can see he LOVES it! Much like my poor little Honda, he is about to bust the shocks out and bottom out! Sometimes he is in it, and starts to fall asleep, and when we go get him out he wakes up and starts jumping immediately. It is very funny.

The trouble with making a movie and setting it up for a sequel is you are then committed. Plus you have to make it better then the first one. This is where most sequels fail. Can it live up to the hype. I have to admit, this one was tougher to do. It was also a lot of fun. I hope you all have enjoyed it. So without further a do, I present “The Escape Part Two” Enjoy!

Facts:

1. Desmond has shaving cream on his face also.
2. Desmond is reading “Fundamentals of Financial Management”. I am reading Dr Seuss.
3. Yes he really was choking me in that one picture.

Desmond is doing this new thing with his tongue, its hilarious. He likes to stick it out and move it around. I was in the kitchen the other night and Jackie was in the living room watching him do it, and she yelled to me, “you know he gets this tongue thing from you right?” and I’m all “yeah whatever” and as soon as I say that I notice I am txting on my phone with my tongue sticking out. So yes, he gets this new trick from his daddy.

Well its officially summer at work, the kids are gone the teachers are out, and now the real work begins. Summer time is when we really get the big jobs done. It has been stressful the last month getting things in order for that, because now its crunch time. I have 8 weeks to accomplish some pretty big tasks. Plus I also start 3 day work weeks!! That will cut my time in half. But I am so excited to get to spend 2 days a week with Desmond. I have lots of adventures planned for us. That being said, this should water your appetite for what is to come. The script is being written, and pre-production starts next week. Desmond and I are going to have a blast.

4 Months and 11 days. It is incredible that we are this far in and so much has happened. Desmond is by far the happiest, laid back, easy going lovable little guy I have ever known. We are truly blessed to have such a joy in our lives. I don’t even mind changing his poopy diapers. Of course I have not gotten to what we call “Man Poop” yet. When solid food comes into play that just maybe a whole blog entry of itself. Jackie had a case of PPS tonight, she denied it. The thing is, we all deny it at 1st, that’s why its called Phantom Poop Syndrome. Another interesting fact, I get A LOT of Google traffic searches for “Phantom Poop Syndrome” that is hilarious if you ask me. Wow what is up with me and the graphic blog entries, I swear that was an accident. Moving on.

Today was 4 month visit day. He weighs 17.3 lbs. He is 27 inches Long. That puts him in the 95% range. I believe the doctors exact words were “he is a big baby”. He also got his shots, he did really well, just a little holler and he was done. Not even any tears. Yesterday he rolled over. A big mile stone for him, now as soon as you set him down on his back he likes to show off and roll right over. He lets out a big smile too. He knows he is a big deal. I am posting some video of that.

Also today is Mr. Colson’s Birthday!!! happy Birthday Bobby!

I thought I was having a bad day today. Then a co-worker sends me this video and I just felt the need to share it with everyone one I knew. This woman is incredible. After having a child and knowing whats involved in the day in day out duties. To see this woman do it, I am just speechless.
