Tim's back!

For those of you not on facebook, here are some recent pictures of Mr. Tim. I'll have more after Halloween tomorrow!

Steph's birthday, Superman, & laundry

Here are some new pics. (Sorry, they are in a random order.)


This is Tim to me. He loves to laugh.


Tim & Daddy at Bald Mountain Reservior.

Superman eating Ritz.

Tim did not like seeing Superman lose his head.

Steph on the frozen lake. Steph was so fun...she was iceskating around in those big rubber boots.

Tim stealing Mama's flips. Simple life.

Ritz are Tim's favorite food. He has a sign specifically for Ritz & he could pick out the box at the store.

Superman, Tim & Uncle Joe (on Steph's b-day)

Auntie Steph scaring pinata S. This was a fun b-day. Later on that day, we used the ATVs to pull each other around in sleds on the snow. Super awesome.

Poor S.

We were laughing so hard.

Tim helping with the laundry. He loves it.

Everyone was breaking up the ice & chucking it across the lake.

Uncle Joe's big throw.

Tim's braces are awesome. He's only had them a month & last week he took 5 steps by himself! Woohoo!

Joe's dog Benson. He loved Bald Mountain.

Tim showing where his belly button is.

Mama

Yay! Tim said "Mama" for the first time yesterday. It made my day.
1st word: Dada
2nd word: Hot
3rd word: Mama

I think he's trying to say, "Daddy's hot for Mama." :)

Sorry for my missing posts. It's been crazy. We had a fun San Diego vacation with some family... surfing, Coronado --too cheap for iceskating, Children's museum, hot tubing, cards, candy auction, seeing the babies -- Sophia & Benson, hanging out. Super fun. Tim got sick on the way home. Threw up all over himself & his car seat again & again. He ended up in the hospital because he couldn't keep food down. We were in the ER getting IV fluids all night from Dec 29th - 30th. Came home for the day then went back to the hospital because Tim got bad again. He was admitted from Dec 30th through Jan 1st. We all got some other bug from being in the hospital. Tim's coughing makes him throw up but at least he's able to take in enough fluids to keep him out of the hospital now. I get really worried about him. I'm really afraid of him getting in bad shape like he did the first time. I already have a hard time thinking about the struggles he has to go through -- don't want it to get any worse. I need to remember how lucky we are and be glad for everything no matter what happens in the future. We love our little guy so much. He does the funniest things & loves to make us laugh. Here are some Christmas & vacation pics.
Love ya,
S

Per your request....

Check out the paw prints below. We think it was a bear?

We caught about 35 fish there in an hour. Awesome.

Funny glasses...

Funnier glasses...

Runner up costume choice for this Halloween...U.S. Olympic Swimmer.

(Their speedos really grossed me out this year.)

Big 1! Happy Birthday, Tim.

We had a super, awesome, couldn't-be-better week long vacation celebrating Tim's first year.

1. Momma caught a big bass for Tim on his birthday. We took Tim fishing at Bidwell pond. He loved being in the baby backpack while we fished. Such a super cutie.

2. I took Tim to the Burney pool on his b-day because swimming is his all time favorite. We swam in the big kid pool until Tim was tired, then we went to the baby pool where Tim met a friend that was two months older. They were touching feet (both were too shy to touch hands) then the mom of the other boy showed us how big her son's feet were -- you couldn't tell from under the water. They were huge! About twice the size of Tim's feet...freaky!

3. David, Brian and I went fishing at Bald Mountain Reservoir while Val watched Tim for us. At first, it seemed that the water level was just too shallow and weedy to fish but then Brian struck gold. He found an area of the pond that was about 4 feet deep & it had all the fish. Dave won for the most fish. I won for stepping on the most fish...seriously, there were so many fish in the area that they would splash up behind me while I was wading through the water. Of course, I screamed. I really enjoyed hanging out with Davie.

4. I walked Tim to the the Burney pool almost every day. I loved it (& so did Tim). Tim also hit the swings on the way back from the pool.

5. Relaxing with Uncle Bruce: We fished, ate at the Outpost, played cards. Bruce is funny & calm. I enjoyed hearing about his interesting job & weird boss. It's always fun to hang out with him.

6. Getting more time with Brian and Tim: It was fun to be together with our little family. We got to relax and play a lot. Brian got a lot of fishing time & Tim was a great baby. Tim is doing a lot now. He pulls himself up on things, has a great, sparkly personality and communicates without speaking.

7. No doctor appointments: Enough said. Ahhh...

8. Not worrying about work. Now I think I will enjoy it when I can retire. As long as Brian is retired too, I will love it.

9. Summer time weather -- I love the sunshine & warmth. I love jetskiing -- doing jumps and sharp turns on the stand up ski will never get boring.

10. Getting alone time with Brian. Thanks, Val. :)
