Thursday

Little man is sick today with a stuffy nose and a cough. He's had some congestion for a week now and it's turned in to a cough and sore throat - I can tell because his cry sounds all raspy :( Poor baby.
Chicken wing is back with us this weekend - Lindsey had a death in her family. :((
BUT some good news - girl party this weekend with brunch and mani/pedis! V. excited. My feet look atrocious. I booked us spa pedicures so we get to sit in those vibrating chairs - v. v. good. :)) My aching back need some lovin'. After all, my child is a monstrosity. Not much else has been going on this week other than yucky weather. We got back from Ft. Smith and haven't really left the house except to go to story time today. We are also trying to stretch feedings again to 4 hours. Last time this worked very poorly, with him waking up multiple times the next night. But I think it may have been due to his congestion so we'll see if this works or not. We cheated once and let him nurse for 5 minutes to get him to take a nap. He cried for almost an hour, I tried to be comforting without picking him up but it's so hard. So I had to let him nurse for a little while to calm him down. So sue me.

Ft. Smith

Today we are in Ft. Smith visiting Nana and Pawpaw. We came down yesterday to visit my meemaw, Aunt Patti and Uncle Ronald who were here and have never seen Dunning before! They took lots of pictures of big D. Then Emily and Jon Beaty came over to take some portraits of Dunning. We did some really neat shots of him and some of him and me. I can't wait to see how they turn out. They do some great stuff. Check them out - www.beaty365.blogspot.com.
We took some of him with his jungle pals for his jungle themed room, some of him with his name from his wall and some of him in his UofA outfit. We also took some of him in his outfit that he is going to be dedicated in next week and me in my new dress. Then we took some artsy fartsy pics that have my head and shoulders and him in just a diaper. It's going to look awesome! Again, can't wait to see them!

Wednesday

On Wednesday, we went with the Grandparents and cousins to have pictures done. We did some of Dunning, some of the twins together and by themselves, lots of the cousins together and some of the grandparents with the grandbabies. They all turned out really cute and all the babies did really good considering how young they are. Dunning looked like a big ol' cabbage patch kid with his round face and fat cheeks. After the pics, we went and had lunch on the Square and ate cheeseburgers from the Station Cafe. mmmm mmmm good. The grandparents have a new appreciation for Jim and especially Bridget in taking care of two babies at once. I got Kelsey laughing.
