What's happening with Jami?

Well, besides chasing around an 11 month old? Not too much! I'm still working as a Registered Nurse for the State of Delaware at Governor Bacon Health Care Center in Delaware City on the 7 am- 3pm shift. I'm scouting around for a new job to see what I can find. I am eager to find a job that would allow me to work 3 nights a week from 7pm-7a so I can be home with Alex. That is my main goal. That would also save us a great deal on daycare! I am so ready to have another child but until the economy gets better and I find this dream job that won't be happening! I thoroughly enjoy being a Mom and think that's why I was put on this earth. It is the most rewarding thing EVER. I thought being a nurse was going to be great that people would love me helping them....was I wrong! This child gives me all the joy I could ever need.

We've been in the house now almost 6 months and are slowly working on getting it to what we want. We did a lot of renovating this summer thanks to Mr. Obama and his tax credit! I'll post some pics in another post. Other than that, I just chase after my ever so fast infant and that's about it with me!

It's been too long...

I've been a horrible blogger. Almost 2 months since my last blog. So much has happened. I guess Alex keeps me so busy I havebn't been keeping this up to date so PLEASE forgive me. I will say I am pretty good about posting photos on facebook. It is much easier to throw some photos on there than it is on here. So sit back, grab some popcorn and get ready for blogging madness!

My little FIRECRACKER!

Sesame Place

We went to Sesame Place July 2nd. I knew Alex wasn't going to be able to do much, but I knew that he would enjoy looking at everything. He loves watching people (can't imagine where he gets that from!) We went with Rob's parents, Julie, Jamie and Aidan. Alex did go on the merry-go-round and enjoyed every minute of it. This not being a surprise, since he has always liked movement since he was born. I think that I will take him back up there when he is around 3-4 years old. Here are some photos from the day:

Lunch with a buddy!

Alex and I took a trip down to Dover a few weeks ago to have lunch with an old classmate of mine, Leslie. We went to nursing school together. This was Leslie and Alex's first time meeting. Leslie has been so generous to Alex; sending him packages, constantly asking about him, etc. I felt horrible that this was the first time, age 8 months that she finally got to meet him. I always agreed with Leslie when we were in school when she would say that she wanted to be a Pediatric Nurse. She is so great with children. You could tell how much fun she had playing with Alex, and he just adored her! We had a great lunch and I was so happy that Leslie finally got to meet my little man!

Crawling and teething

My poor little man has been attempting to crawl for what feels like an eternity now. He has been up on those fat little knees rocking for the longest time. He would just scoot himself around on his tummy or roll wherever he needed to be. Last week he got the hang of it! He is a fast little bugger I must say! So, now I am in a frantic panic to baby proof everything! I know I've had plenty of time, but there's a lot you gotta do!

Alex's first tooth arrived! It was painstaking to come to that point, but after it broke through the gum, he was so relieved. Well, unfortunately we are in the middle of getting another one. He has been so miserable lately which is not like my guy. I just wish they would hurry up and come in. It's so pitiful to see him in pain. And, the weirdo that he is, hates his teething things cold! If I can get a good pic of him with his one little tooth on the bottom I will post it, but he hides it with his tongue all the time!

Swimming!

Aunt Julie, Uncle Jamie and Aidan came for a visit Memorial Day weekend. They brought Alex a pool! He was so stinking adorable in the pool. The water was a little cold, so everytime he splashed himself he sorta scared himself! It was so cute to watch. He loved looking up at Aidan and watching what he was doing. I think they both had so much fun. Here are a few photos from that day.
