3 Months

Time is really flying by.

On the 17th Xander turned 3 months old!

Here are some updated photos and info.

Xander is trying his hardest to sit up on his own.

Phil was helping him here and almost had X laughing.

My Little X and his crazy hair.

He loves to be laying and playing,

of course with someone paying attention

and talking to him.

Staring at his hands.

One of his new hobbies if he isn't eating them.

X loves tummy time as long as

someone is there with him talking/playing.

We are all adjusting to me being back at work.

Xander loves going to Corrie's house with the other kids.

There is always someone in his face talking/playing/singing with him.

He is SO happy when I pick him up that it makes me laugh.

We are truly blessed to have such a happy, healthy baby boy.

Concussion

Phil is by no means a professional football player, and yes when he got his concussion he was playing flag football with buddies on a simple Saturday morning but the effects seemed like he was involved in this hit.

Last Saturday I had to go in to work to interview for a new sixth grade position at our school, which is a story in itself. I left home at 7:00 and left X with Phil. They got up and about 9:30 Phil dropped X off at Lisa's so he could fulfill his duties to play flag football with his buddies.

I thought all was well. About 12:15 I checked my phone and noticed I had about 5 missed calls from my hubby. I tried to call him back and got a garbled voice with not not a lot of coherence. He couldn't even put together a sentence and he didn't know we had a baby! YIKES. I immediately called Lisa to see if she still had Xander, thankfully she did and I told her to keep him. I called back a minute later asking her to check on Phil since he wasn't answering his phone.

Lisa called me a few minutes later and said Phil was in pretty bad shape. I told her his mom, who is a nurse, was on her way over and I was on my way home. When I got there I found Laura and Lisa sitting with Phil. What a sight. He looked like the same hottie I was married to but I quickly realized that he wasn't okay, or even close to okay. By the time I talked with him he did remember we had Xander but couldn't remember where he was or why he would leave him with Lisa to play football. He kept repeating himself. The conversation went something like this:

"Why were you at school?"

"I was interviewing teachers."

"Oh, did you get one?"

"Yes, we offered her a job."

Pause for about 5 seconds...

"My knee hurts...Why were you at school?

I would tell him and then he would start up again. After about an hour he would switch topics and even dredged up topics from years ago.

I tell you, we decided that he would NEVER play football again. Our bodies are so amazing and it is scary to see what can happen to them when they get abused. All I can say is take care of yourself and be thankful for each day we have healthy and normal.

Xander's new hobby

This is Xander's new hobby. I hate it as everything is wet and drooled on. Poor kid, we just can't get the pacifier in fast enough. If he ever finds his thumb on a consistent basis we are in trouble because I am not sure he will ever take it out to eat again!

Please excuse my hair. We had a rough weekend and I wore NO makeup and a hat all day Sunday. Details will follow.

Hiatus

The definition of hiatus is a long break. I guess that's what I have been on. Been back at school for a week...love it! Have a great baby-sitter for X and feel super comfortable with her. Have a husband who is still trying to play football as he were 15 again (more to come). So much for my hiatus. It ended tonight.
