All about ME (no Matey pictures)

Before: After:

(color close up)

another one after
I would like to thank Vdonn for making all this possible, and my mom too.

I like it (lots) and hopefully thePirate will like it too.

Now I just need to lose the last 11lbs and I'll be all set to go.

she's here!

She's finally here! It's so nice to have a pair of hands that has done

this three times already. And she's magic too- V can get Matey to fall

asleep without feeding him first!!

This picture is for Aunt Beki- what Matey looks like when he's

not making a funny face.
And a little smile for all of his adoring fans.

excitement at last

people are coming to visit and my birthday's around the corner too! i can hardly wait- i'm pumping and freezing what i can now so at least a few times i'll be able to be out and about by myself/with thePirate and not have to worry about Matey... at least i won't worry about if he has milk.

he is such the goofy boy...

this picture reminds me of his daddy

he's not so sure about his mom...

simply a cutie cute.

pictures for An Wanna

BIG YAWNapparently nan thinks its extra cutie when infants are in "grown up"

clothes, i think this qualifies.
its sad when you lose to the wall...
(he was done looking at me and the flashing metal box)

i'm not living with any of you- i'm going to alaska. its not hot there. some sadistic weather person threatened that we'd hit 90... i didn't watch him tho, i watched the one that said we'd stay in the 70's.

thePirate doesn't get to stay home on weekends while he's at WLC/NCO academy/the-next-step-towards-making-sargent... but it seems thus far he'll be home most if not all nights even tho he gets off work at 7:30pm.

Matey goes to the Zoo

And slept virtually the entire time... I didn't really expect anything else and it didn't stop thePirate and I having fun so it was good. This first one is of Matey and the penguins (they were also sleeping and are to the left of his shoulder). He did at one point wake up while in the aquarium, gave it the look of "we have fish at home" and went back to sleep.

This little fishey wanted to eat Matey but I told him 'no' and he eventually went away.

Matey saw the Dr again and he is now 10lbs 2oz, 21" long and his head is 15" big.

to sleep or not to sleep

Matey won't sleep in the bassinet beside the bed but he seems to be content with sleeping in the bed away from me. like i'll feed him and put him down and then slide a foot away and he won't wake up/care but if i feed him then try the bassinet Matey is all sorts of vocal. i don't get it.

and then there are the times when he doesn't want me scooting away and instead wants to use me as a pillow/snuggle.

we took a shower this morning (all of us) thePirate held Matey while i washed my hair then i washed up Matey- thePirate still holding him- and then Matey and i left so thePirate could shower in peace.

i've got a little water baby: bath, shower, rain - he likes them all. i can't wait to get him in a pool and see how that one goes over.

more for george

i was sure Matey was too small for this cutie 'jama

but he fits it good. isn't he soo cute being all squirmy?
he's here... so is mom and dad... anything interesting going on?

i don't think i put this one up yet

(but if i did its good enough for another post)

we hope you all have a fun and safe memorial day weekend.
