Bobby's World

Fun on Saturday night

2009-01-06T17:09:00.000-08:00

Uncle John, uncle William, Tristan, Jay, and Moe came to visit and help cut up the tree. We had a good time afterward sitting around the new firepit and visiting. Bobby hung out next to the fire in his snowsuit and swing-he loved it. Today we went to the Bass Pro Shop and looked at the fishes. He also licked a marshmallow which was funny. PS Happy Birthday Mom!

Wow! Presents from afar!

2009-01-02T15:44:00.001-08:00

Bobby got to go over to his great-grandma and pa's house to celebrate a little late Christmas. He was so happy to have his very own leather jacket to use when he gets big! He says he doesn't want to join Hells angel's because he is mommy's angel and always will be! He also slept in his snow suit while daddy was watching him! But he didn't mind because it was chilly that night. Then one night he thought he wanted to try some beer with Cameron, but he didn't because he hates being grounded!

Happy New Years!

2008-12-31T14:29:00.000-08:00

It is Bobby's first New Years and there is plenty of new things to do and try. He had his first rice cereal today and he did his best to suck it down. Later he played in his walker and even scooted a few inches. After that, a huge tree fell on our brand new fence! So we got a brand new chain saw to cut it up! Ahh.... this is a lot to deal with so I may reconsider some of my resolutions! We will see which resolutions are kept.

More Christmas!!!

2008-12-27T21:23:00.001-08:00

Jay is building his first 'bike' for Bobby! And Bobby loved it! Bobby slept like a log Christmas night, there was a lot going on!

2008-12-27T21:16:00.001-08:00

We also went to my grandparents Christmas eve too! Tons of pics, just look at them!

Christmas, presents, and new family

2008-12-27T21:05:00.000-08:00

Christmas eve we went over to Mimi's and visited with his great grand daddy for the first time! We opened presents. Bobby got a very special present. A zebra from his pop ( jay's dad). Christmas morning we got up and he still had it with him! When we woke up Bobby played with his present from Mimi and he actually stood up, and he rode it!

Old News

2008-12-27T20:57:00.000-08:00

Bobby finally rolled over about 2 weeks ago. Totally awesome timing too. I opened the bedroom door, he looked at me then fliparoonie over he goes. I love him!

Visit with uncle Tristan!

2008-12-18T18:31:00.000-08:00

Tristan came down for a long weekend last weekend, and we had lots of fun. Bobby later decided he would go gangster but he couldn't figure out how to shank yet, phew- what a relief!

and more!

Casualties and cuties of Christmas photo shoots

2008-12-18T18:17:00.000-08:00

Blah..... blegh....

2008-12-11T17:58:00.000-08:00

Not much going on, b-o-r-e-d! It's okay though cause Bobby laughs now which makes my day all that brighter. I can not believe that Christmas is in 2 weeks. Too much to do. haven't taken pictures of Bobby yet, and since that's not done I can't send cards- which takes at least 3-4 days to write them all! I also have to wrap presents. I used to love present wrapping but entertaining my son at the same time kind of zaps my creativity. It's okay though because he is totally cute. Jay reading to Bobby kills me though. I love those guys.

More turkey time pics....

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

I would just like to start this one by thanking everyone for all that they are and all that they do for each other, don't forget what a difference you can make in someone's life with just one smile or kind word.
On a less serious note, I thanked God (well that's serious too,) for creating the turkey..... and all it's fixins. Because they were de-li-cious! First, Jay and I, and Bobby of course went to his Mimi's for grateful fun! He got to visit, I learned how to waltz, and Bobby of course was hamming it up!
Ps. Don't cook your baby!

Continuation!

Okay, so by the time I have a chance to blog it usually takes me a little time to figure out when I took certain pictures. So here is a recap on what Bobby did this past week. I will probably post a couple of times so all the pictures can be seen. Last Tuesday Jay and I wanted to have a 'family night' so we went to Ruby Tuesdays and it was so nice. Bobby was merciful and let us take our time. We also discovered that he has a passion for straws, of maybe its just that he can hold them so well that we think he has a passion for them. Then on Thursday Bobby and I went over to Cameron's to try out her fireplace for the first time. Bobby thought it was nice, but he preferred to sit in his highchair and help the girls make cookies with his wooden spoon. Also, he likes to cut a rug on other people's dining room tables. I found a cool 'car' toy that flashes and makes all kinds of racket that babies are supposed to play with while on their bellies. Bobby is way too little for that so we propped him up in his crib with his boppy so that he could play with it last night. Then he worked on his standing before a nice long sleep through the night.

On the way to Mimi's we go!

2008-11-16T20:20:00.000-08:00

Today Bobby and I bundled up and went for a visit to his Great grandparents house and then to his Mimi's for stew! I thought he would look cute with his winter gear on. The only problem was getting it off! He has gotten so big snaps come undone from his outfits when he moves too much, but I am determined for him to wear everything at least once before he grows out of them.

Happy Birthday to me!

2008-11-16T20:06:00.000-08:00

As most all of you know my birthday was on the 15 th. I have to say it was one of the nicest. I got home from work, picked up the house a little to ease the 'I have a dirty house feeling', and then went to sleep. (No Bobby no dogs!) Around 12 noon Bobby's Mimi brought over my favorite meal of lamb and potatoes with a huge chocolate truffle cake! Along with my favorite little man, Bobby, and presents galor. Then I got to go back to sleep with my full belly and Jay watching the baby. Later Cameron came over to hangout and open presents and watch movies and have pasta. Then Leslie and her boyfriend Alex came over for more presents and visits. Totally fun and relaxing birthday with no where to be and freinds and family that love me! Ps Happy Birthday Dad on the 9th! Pss Bobby likes to eat his curds! Eeeewwww!

Visiting with Tristan and Great Grandparents

Just being cute

Visiting with Cameron

2008-11-12T09:18:00.001-08:00

Fun with daddy and the jumper!

2008-11-12T09:11:00.000-08:00

I don't know who liked it more. Jay or Bobby.

Bobby's Cute!!

2008-11-01T20:07:00.000-07:00

Not much goin' on. Bobby is getting more cute every day. He is getting a little more moody everyday but maybe its just growing pains. He and I chilled after a busy night of being awake.

Couple more pics

Happy Halloween!!!!

2008-10-31T11:56:00.000-07:00

So it is Bobby's first Halloween and of course I have to work! But that's okay because I have been putting him in outfits all week. He is going to Mimi's tonight and hopefully see some Trick or Treaters. He just got a nice Johnny jump up and walker from a friend at work that I can't wait to put him in.

Bobby grabbed that ring and held on all by himself. He likes to go out sporting his bear coat when its chilly. He can't wait for Halloween so he likes to put on his candy corn sleeper. He thinks hes a big boy and can eat candy already but he can't even get the wrapper off! So he licks it instead.

Yay! Halloween is coming!

2008-10-27T20:52:00.000-07:00

Life has been pretty hectic, but Bobby has been having the time of his life growing big and strong. He went to the pediatrician today and weighs 15 pounds (97 percentile), his head and length are in the 75th percentile. He also got 4 shots and one oral vaccine : ( He says that they hurted his feelings. Dr Conley says he is doing everything he's supposed to. Lifting his head when he is on his belly, grasping his hands together and putting them in his mouth, smiling, and cooing. It doesn't seem like a big deal but he has had those mastered for sometime now! Bobby also saw a nice man named Dr Cerniglia who said that Bobby has special kidneys. The left kidney has an extra tube (not a big deal he said). His right kidney is dilated so Bobby has to have dye put in his bladder to see if it can hold urine where it is supposed to be or if the dye will move up to the kidneys ( that's called reflux) If Bobby has reflux he will have to have a low dose of antibiotics until the problem is resolved because when urine goes back into the kidneys there is a chance of infection. He may have to be on antibiotics for years which is very common with reflux. This problem is the most common male congenital problem known. If the dye test shows it is not reflux then we will move on to a kidney xray to see if their is a different problem of which the Dr. does not know yet. Anyhow Bobby seems to be doing great and happy life. Sorry the computer is not letting me load pictures!

The many faces of Bobby

2008-10-22T10:35:00.000-07:00

It has been couple of busy days filled with only daily life but my butt is tired. I've been lucky that work has been good (knock on wood). Having a baby is good because your so busy with the baby you don't go out too much and get too crazy. On the other hand, they cost a bit because of all of their necessities. Bobby was a little grumpus yesterday for some reason but he loved his Hungry hungry caterpillar outfit.

Down by the fire. . . .

2008-10-19T14:10:00.000-07:00

Friday night was sleep over night at Mimi's. The verdict is in and he did very well. Sucked down lots of bottles and slept real good. His auntie Leslie watched him that morning while he played with his monkey toy and kept warm next to his first fire. He loved staring at it for quite a while. Saturday was really nice. I got to take a nap before some delicious lamb diner and then took another nap with Bobby.

Ridem' Sammy!

2008-10-17T12:07:00.000-07:00

Bobby was so nice to his mommy by sleeping through the night again! Then he ate and slept again for 4 hours. It was just what I needed. Then Jay and Bobby spent some fun time together so I could get stuff done. Tonight will be his first time over Mimi's house for a sleep over, so he is very excited about that. I sure am gonna miss the little fella. That's him riding' Sammy since he isn't big enough to ride Wilson yet.

Sleep. . pisha! Sleep is for the weak!

2008-10-16T19:41:00.000-07:00

So even though Bobby slept a good part of the afternoon away, I decided that instead of sleeping myself, maybe I should get some chores done instead. I worked a 12 hr shift last night and slept 2 hrs when I got home. I just missed Bobby a lot so I thought I might spend time with him while I still could. This is just the beginning of the beginning and I've got a long way to go. Ugho, he's cryin again. Gotta go!

Back to reality

2008-10-15T10:57:00.000-07:00

Well guys. It's about to be my second day back at work, and it wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't got such a bad cold. Jay was really good about taking care of the baby when I was at work. Of course, me being sick I nearly went nuts thinking 'is he sick!' I am pretty sure I broke down in tears when his nose and eyes were runny. He looks great though. We broke into his 3-6 month clothes which is a whole new world of fun. I definitely love being a mother! P. S. Happy Birthday Cameron!

Update.

2008-10-11T15:26:00.000-07:00

So we had a really nice time eatn grape leave rolls and french stew with Jay's grandparents and Bobby's Mimi and everybody. It was fun spending time with Tristan while his car was getting worked on. We went shopping and Tristan did his super trooper impression with a gumball machine mustache. Ah good times.

So much to do, so little time!

2008-10-11T09:06:00.000-07:00

Lots of people are in town which means lots of fun things to do with them. Yesterday morning Andi and her brother Ryan (Jay's cousins) came over for a nice breakfast. Ryan got to see his second cousin for the first time. Later that day we all got to go to Mimi's (Jay's mom) house for some diner and visiting. Bobby got to ride in Mimi's very special swing and he was a very good boy the whole night.

Yay! Guess who's here?!

2008-10-09T21:17:00.000-07:00

It's Bobby's Godfather Tristan! He made it up here from Ft. Bragg North Carolina at around 11pm. Not without peril however. He fought exhaustion and a flat tire but he made it for a nice four day weekend. What fun will we have with our uncle Tristan? Stay tuned. . . .

I wanna swing too. . . .

2008-10-09T09:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was our first time to Bryan Park. We got a late start so it got dark fast, but we had fun nonetheless. Bobby got to ride in just the stroller like a big boy and was so sweet and good the whole time. He was too little to swing on the baby swings but he loved watching mommy and daddy do it. It was so cute because right around the same time a little boy (20 months his daddy said) came tottering up. Too little to even step up into the sand box. Then I thought to myself, my baby is going to be that big soon. It made me almost sad. Of course I want him to grow up big and strong and healthy, but just not so fast. It makes me want to never leave his side because in no time, he will have children of his own maybe even move far away like I did. Then what? Anyhow, I guess I just have to enjoy it while it lasts.

OOooooo. . . something new!

2008-10-07T14:53:00.000-07:00

Alright so Bobby wowed me by sleeping well two nights ago, but he left a lot to be desired by last nights performance. I think he set a record for how many times he woke up last night. Ridiculous! But today he impressed both Jay and I by not only staying in his swing for more than five minutes but actually laughing and smiling for hours. It was so nice to see him happy other than when he is being held by someone. It gives me hope yet for actually doing something other than rocking him all day. Not that I am not grateful for such a blessing.

Sleeping Beauty

2008-10-06T12:14:00.000-07:00

The most amazing thing happened last night- Bobby slept through the night! Yaaaay! It was so weird. I put him down at 11 o'clock and the next thing I know, Bobby is doing his squeak thing before he starts crying. As usual I check my cell phone to see what time it is and lo and behold it was 7 am! Then I fed him and he fell asleep for 4 more hours. It was like a dream come true. Ahh. . . . . sleep. I bet it was the busy day we had before of wining and dining with family and friends. Tootles for now. Here is a picture of his heiness waking from his slumber.

So long Phish : (

2008-10-04T19:46:00.000-07:00

I have this brand spanking new fence as a gift to my family from my grand father in law and father in law. Hand built by five strapping men. The whole purpose of having a fence was to allow my dogs space to run and be away from the baby. This is a luxury much too good for them I can tell you that right now. They dug out in 45 minutes yesterday, so they were banished to their dog run all night and day. I am the guilty sort so I feel sorry for them and look out the window in the kitchen and make sure they are alive every now and then. For those of you who don't know- the dogs live in a nicer house than I do. So as I am looking out what do I see? Wilson, my greyhound retriever, standing on top of his dog house like snoopy, then he starts gnawing on the treated wood of the fence! Out I go to bring them in the house, because he has clearly learned his lesson, and what do I see, blood! It's dark out, white teeth, gooey nasty blood dripping from them. Don't worry he's fine. . . . . lucky for me, I guess. My only good pet 'phish', died the other day. I guess the good do die young. Hope that doesn't mean certain you know who's will live forever. That's their picture up there.

Babydom has arrived

2008-10-03T17:46:00.001-07:00

It took roughly 4 hours or more for my friend and I to watch the Sex in the City movie. Originally she and I had seen it in theaters, just us. That was the old way. Bobby had other plans for making the evening fun, a little cry here, a boobie feed there, a big cry here, no nap there. So I am wondering to myself- When do babies start taking regular naps, rather, any naps at all? How does a parent keep the house clean? Not only does he not take naps but he wants to be thoroughly entertained the majority of his time awake. When Cameron (my friend) got here today I had her play with him just so that I could do some laundry and dishes. If he is not bouncing on daddies knee, watching fans spin, or rug shopping he cries and is just not able to hang with the cool people! So I ask this question. How did Miranda, being a single working lawyer in New York City, raise a child? Well ya got me. Thank god for entertainment- spin on fan, spin on.

2008-10-02T16:59:00.000-07:00

Last day pregnant!
Proud PaPa!
The Cutie!
I will try to add a picture with each post. Here are a few!

Can he see yet?

2008-10-02T15:04:00.000-07:00

One of the most common questions a new mother is asked. Can he see yet? In my head I usually go something like 'Oh yeah, because I am a psychic and can tell if a person other than myself has all of his senses, because when I ask him like an optometrist which is better- number one or number two, that's one and there's two, one and two? He's going to tell me?' But who says that? No one. So I just nod and say yeah I think he can see, he seems to look at me and tracks me when I am within three feet. But sometimes his eyes are so glazed over that I wonder, maybe his eyes are as bad as mine and his fathers. Will Bobby be like me and wear his glasses like a good-boy, only breaking them on accident, honestly, I was just clumsy (thanks mom!)? Or will he be like his father and mysteriously keep loosing his glasses but then seeing the light in his adulthood? Squinting looses its appeal after a while so now Jay and I both wear glasses! I think it's safe to say that Bobby's going to be a 'four-eyes'.

The Dairy Queen Cometh!

2008-10-01T09:17:00.000-07:00

Here comes the dairy queen, as my grandfather in law would say. So Jay (my husband) finally wakes up from his long and stressful night of 12 hrs sleep and grumbling, takes his son long enough for me to fold laundry, make some coffee, and eat a real breakfast. Was good too, haven't had turkey bacon in a while. So right on cue Bobby starts whining and crying. Jay tries a few things changing his diaper which usually ends up being quite hilarious because he sits at eye level to change Bobby, makes farts funny in a while new way. Burping him and winding the mobile only works for a split second for bobby. Apparently he is too sophisticated to just look at a mobile. Finally Jay gives up, " What is wrong with you buddy?" and looks at me questioning. Now that is why I AM . . . . The Dairy Queen!

Why Bobby's World?

2008-09-30T13:06:00.000-07:00

So many of you know that when you have a child life is no longer your own. When not caring for your offspring and worrying yourself to death over its well being and what kind of a job you're doing, you're worried about whoever else is caring for it and what kind of a job they are doing! So I needed a place where I can reflect, worry, and share the many new, terrifyingly RAPID changes that are going on in this world, that is no longer mine but Bobby's.
