1. Soccer Ends:
Brian and I are so tired from our soccer game today. It was our last game of the season. :(
We won 2-1. Brian did awesome...scored 1 and assisted in the other goal. Woohoo! I pulled muscles in my thigh and calf and Brian hurt his knee so we are hobbling around like old people. Oh, well, our spring season doesn't begin until March so we will start spending most of our weekends in Burney again. It will be nice to get back up there.

(Tim hanging with Brian after the soccer game.)


2. Tooth!
Tim has a tooth coming in! There has been a lot of drool lately and Tim has been putting everything in his mouth. On Friday night (4 months, 12 days old), Brian saw the first glimpse of Tim's little baby tooth. So awesome! We were talking about it though and decided that it doesn't do much good to only have one tooth. Rob told me that it doesn't make much difference when they get the matching tooth on top either. haha.


(Drool!)
It was hard to take a picture of it because you can't see much of the tooth yet. I'll post more pics as we can see it more.


3. Half-Marathon:
So we've decided to train for a half marathon coming up on April 13th. It's in Pescadero, just south of Half Moon Bay, and you get a t-shirt and large artichoke when you run the race. So silly. I think this will be good to motivate me in getting back into shape. We'll see... :) I went running at Lake Chabot the other day and it felt awesome! I miss my old body...


4. Stewie:
When we first had Tim, Brian and I said he reminded us of Stewie from The Family Guy. Well, I just started really watching The Family Guy (very funny show) and realized that Stewie detests his Mom and is always trying to kill her. Now I am hoping that Tim is not like Stewie. haha.

5. Like the brothers:

I have always loved the way our brothers were when we woke them up in the morning. They would always be so nice like it was no big deal that you were waking them from their dreams. Tim seems to be the same way. On the weekends, I feed Tim his first bottle of the morning. (During the week, I start work at 5:30am so I am gone before Tim wakes up.) Each morning I go into his room to bring him his bottle and he has big, bright eyes and a huge grin. Such a cutie. I love that time with him.

6. Christmas Craziness:

I am so glad that we aren't into buying gifts and participating in the general craziness that goes along with the holidays. I see the ads telling us that we only have 2 more days to shop so packages will arrive on time and I hear people talking about the stress with cleaning their homes and planning for guests. I'm glad that our little family is going to Burney to sit in front of the fire, ride the quads in the snow and take it easy. I hope we can keep things simple as Tim gets older.

7. Family Reunion:

Our family is getting together in Texas for a family gathering this year. We decided not to go because of Tim's diagnosis and the need to avoid infection. I'm already missing everyone and wishing that we could hang out together all the time. Too bad I can't win the lottery and buy a place where we can all meet once a month. I love my family a lot.

8. Still flipping the finger after all these months:

9. Favorite new toy:

Tim just started using his "megasaucer" that our friends, the Wilmotts, gave him. It has a little seat that he sits/stands in surronded with toys that he can play with. The seat can spin around so he can turn to play with a new toy when he gets tired of the old one. This thing is awesome! He is using his hands and feet so much more now. Who needs the physical therapist? haha.

10. First haircut:

To avoid the Donald Trump look, Brian & I gave Tim his 1st haircut at 4 months.

11. Cute Tim pictures:

I was teaching Tim how to draw on the computer. Check out his sketch...

Deep Thoughts by Sarah Handy#4

1. Back to Work -
I made it through my first week back at work. Whew! It's fun seeing all of my friends there. I miss Tim & Brian a lot during the day but it feels good to use my brain again. The only problem is that I've used my brain so much that I can't think of anything funny for this post. Oh well, I'll just add lots of pictures. :) Work is super busy -- sometimes I wonder even how I did my job before I had Tim. I think I can do it though.

2. Poison Oak -
Okay, that "leaves of three, let it be" saying doesn't work for the time of year when the plant has no leaves. Brian got poison oak during our walk at Lake Chabot. We think it came from a stick he used to poke at a fish in the water. It was by far the worst case I remember him having. He had it all over his body, it lasted for 2 weeks and he missed a couple days of work. I am SO glad I don't get it. I don't know how he made it through. See pictures below. If you feel bad for him, you can send him money in the mail. I'm sure that will make him feel better.

3. Snowsuit from Rob & Angie -

Speaking of mail, we received a package yesterday for Tim (ALWAYS fun getting packages in the mail). It's this super cute snowsuit. Can't wait to go to Burney again. Angie, you are so awesome! I don't know how you make the time to do all that you do. Thanks!

4. The flip-offs continue -

More evidence of baby Tim giving the finger to everyone.

5. Back in action -

I scored a goal at our last soccer game. I'm back on my streak. Woohoo! We only have 3 more games this season so I'm pretty bummed. At least our next season starts up in the spring.

6. Big boy -

Tim has grown up so fast. Not only is he big physically, but he has also matured so much. It's pretty amazing to watch the changes. He usually goes to sleep around 8pm and wakes up around 6:30am. (I couldn't imagine having to go back to the days of waking up a couple times each night to feed him.) Tim's 97th+ percentile in everything. 18 1/2 lbs now. I love his chubby legs. His hair has grown a lot too!

(Notice the drool on his drool sessions shirt...haha)

7. Cats:

This is all I have to say....

I was just thinking how funny it would be if this guy accidentally ran over his neighbor's cat. What would he say? "I didn't mean to." yeah, right....hahaha

Thanks for checking in. I'll try to post each weekend. No time during the week any more. :(
