Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day all you daddies out there!   We had a rather nice – but not relaxing day (surprise, surprise).  Ty & I got up early so Jason could sleep (after staying up late to watch golf..poo) and made his fave – bacon & french toast.  Then we all headed into Birmingham for some suit and work-shoe shopping for him.  I don’t think I have ever been to the Bull Ring and NOT bought something.  But it was all about Jason so I tried to restrain myself.  He really needed a new ‘lucky’ interview suit and some new shirts and shoes to go with.  It’s really hard for him shopping over here though because the styles are sooo different.  The suits are really cute tight through the thigh and leg (good for me!) but very trendy – not very professional.  And the shoes!  Most of the mens dress shoes are completed pointed toe!  weird…   But all in all we had a nice day, Ty acted a bit crazy especially in the evening – but I guess he is still sick or something.

I think I forgot to add this last week too..  Ty was weighed a week ago and weighs almost 20 lbs.  His weight has really hit a plateau – he has only gained like 1 lb in 2 months!  Better for my back though.  And his wardrobe.  I was having trouble keeping him clothed.  And he had his 6 month shots last week – he was a champ!  The nurse said she had never seen a baby not even flich – let alone cry!  I think it’s because his thighs are so enormously fat – he could even feel the needles. (wonder where he gets that from *sigh*)

And I have been meaning to post about this for awhile now… Many of you may already know about the studies coming out finding dangerous substances in most brands of plastic baby bottles.  But I recently found out that Babies R’ Us is (kindly?) doing an unadvertised voluntary recall of all bottles and giving store credit for all bottles returned.  How crazy!  These bottles muct really be trouble for them to be doing this.  Apparently these bottles will all be recalled in December of this year in the USA.  Great – I have atleast $100+ worth of Dr. Brown’s bottles that I recently purchased.  I talked to the Babies R’ Us peeps over here and they wouldn’t give me credit for them. Poo.  So I had to order Born Free bottles from Canada – don’t we all wished we owned stock in that company!  Four bottles cost me $75.  OMG.  Better safe than sorry.  If you know people using plastic bottles – make sure they have this info, okay?  They may be able to return all their bottles (no receipts, no boxes) for store credit at Babies R’ Us – I have friends who have done it.

PICS FROM THE WEEKEND

I love this one!  Man, does he love bathtime… I wonder how many hours a day I can keep him in there – it’s one of the only times he really happy.  And you can see his teeth in this pic

Well, have a good week peeps.   Ours in not starting out very well (FUSSY baby this am..grrr) and is going to be pretty busy.  Jason is  traveling for work on Wednesday, Thurs & Friday and I may die handling Ty by myself those 3 days.  Wish us luck!  xoxo
