Barrett got a new toy!

Well, we got Barrett an exersaucer and he just loves it. He spins around playing with everything and it allows him to jump up and down to exercise his legs. He is so funny when he is rying to grab everything. He is constantly looking around and can't decide what to grab at next. He gets so mad when he can't put the stuff in his mouth.





He is doing great with his baby food now. He has eaten peas, carrots, and is now on squash. He has loved all of those. We will go back to green beans and hopefully he will like them better than before. He also tried juice for the first time today and just loved it.

More Easter Pictures!

He just loves everyone. He is a very happy baby. My friend from High School, Bryan, came to meet Barrett on Easter...Barrett slept through the Easter Egg Hunt, but Shalee and I got him some eggs for his humongous basket! It is really cute though. He'll have to drag it behind him next year!

Bock, Bock, .....Thank you Easter Bunny...

Well, Easter was so much fun! A little windy, but fun. Barrett could fit in his basket. He was so cute.

YummyYummy, Yummy I got green beans in my tummy...

Well, this week we started baby foods. We started with green beans and he hated them, I know that "hate" is a strong word, but you could just tell. He gagged a whole bunch and even threw up. We tried that for two excruciating nights and then moved on to Peas. Much better. He loves them, and soon we'll move on to carrots. Yum, Yum..... He is still a little joy and getting funnier every day! He loves to blow bubbles and sometimes even spits on you. He sticks his tongue out, it is sooooo cute. I can't wait til we have a movie camera! Well, enjoy the funny din din pictures.

More Lake Photos!

Well, I had no idea that I could only upload 5 photos...So, hear are some more!

We had a great time at the Lake!

Well, It has been a week since we have been at the lake. We had such a good time and Barrett loved getting to see everyone! I have an idea that everyone also loved seeing him, at least little bit. Sugee, Aunt KK, Skunk, Nanny, Grandma, Aunt Janice, Aunt Loraine, Aunt Joanie, Cousin Sydey, and Uncle Joe all got to come and see Barrett from Corpus and Dallas. He got so many nice clothes and already looks adorable in them. Thanks so much to everyone. I know everyone has been waiting for some new pictures. Here are some great ones! We are so glad everyone could make it to the lake and hope we can do it again next year!

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin Barrett Just Kept Rollin...Yehaw

Well, he did it! He finally rolled over, and over. He was with his MiMi Thursday, March 13th at 3:55. He has been trying for over a month now, and works so hard at it. She said he worked at it for about 30 minutes before he finally did it. This week he was on his belly and just could not figure out how to get that shoulder out of the way. When I got home yesterday he rolled over a few times. He is so determined.

We can't thank Nonnie and MiMi enough for keeping our little man this week. It really meant alot to us for them to help us out. It makes us very grateful to have such a supportive and loving family that you can always count on. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

We leave today for the lake. We can't wait to see everyone.

Barrett is also getting better, we have a little less than a week of breathing treatments. Also, he starts baby food next week. He is growing up too fast!

4 Month Check-up/Measurements

Well, Barrett was supposed to get his 4 month shots yesterday and get measured. He did get measured, but we will have to wait to get his shots since he is still sick. He did get a good report on his RSV. The doctor thinks he will need about 1 1/2 weeks more of breathing treatments. We were relieved. Now, they did get to measure him though. He was a big boy.

• Weight: 16 lbs 15 oz-75%


• Height: 26 inches-90%


• Head: 17.6-97%

We ofcourse think he is perfect and love him more everyday!

My Nonnie and MiMi are going to take care of me

Thank goodness Barrett's Nonnie and MiMi are going to come and take care of him while Chase and I are at work. We feel so blessed to have them come and see about him. We feel so much better he is in such good hands and we appreciate them so much! Barrett is out of daycare all this week, and since I am off next week he will be out then also. He is such a little trooper taking his breathing treatments so well. He goes tomorrow for his 4 month check up, however now it is a RSV check-up. They will still weigh and measure him, but he will not get his shots until next week since he is sick. He is a growing boy, and we can't wait to see how much bigger he has gotten. We will let you all know when we find out.

Barrett is a sick little baby

Well, Barrett has RSV. It is a respiratory virus that you don't want your infant to catch. Unfortunately we found out yesterday that Barrett tested positive for the virus. He has had a cough off and on since he has been in daycare and I have already had him tested two times before. However, this time seemed a little worse and he was running a low grade fever. He also did not want me to put him down, which is not like him. Luckily something told me to go ahead and take him in since it was about to be the weekend and we are so glad we did.

He is doing really good so far. We have to give him breathing treatments every 4-6 hours. He has not been running a high fever and is not too fussy either. He is a good baby even when he is sick. We are so lucky. We were told he could get worse, but we just have to wait and see. We will try to keep everyone updated. Keep our little guy in your thoughts and prayers.

I love my family

Barrett has family all over Texas and loves them all! Here are a few pictures of Barrett and his family. I wish I had pictures of everyone with Barrett, but I do not at this time. He is still doing really good, but has a little cough. He sure seems to catch a bunch of stuff at daycare. Oh, well we know they love him there and that is what matters the most. He is still grabbing at everything and finds most things very fascinting. He laughs a bunch when Chase blows on his belly and he even like Pee-Pie. I read a few books to him last night and he seemed to like the pictures. He sat there really content. He's such a sweetie! We get to go to the lake in a week and Barrett will get to see his Sugar D, Aunt KK, Skunk, Grandma, Nanny, Aunt Loraine, Aunt Janice, Aunt Joanie, Blaine, Julie and Justin, and maybe Sydney and Uncle Joe. We are all very excited to see everyone. He has changed a ton since Christmas.

Sugar D, Aunt KK and Uncle Brad

The weekend of February 23rd Sugar D, Aunt KK and Uncle Brad came to visit Barrett...and Chase and me. We had such a good time. Barrett was such a good baby for them and we all had a fun time together. I know they were very sad to leave. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Yum Yum

Barrett has started eating cereal a week ago. He just loves it. He is still trying to get the hang out of eating from a spoon, but he is doing great. We think he loses more down his chin than he gets in his mouth. One week from today we can find out how much he weighs. He weighed 15lbs 10 oz. a couple of weeks ago. He is definitely a growing boy. He can still wear some of his 3-6 month clothes, but also fits in his 6 months clothes. In this picture he is about 3 months old.

Baby Barrett

Barrett is such a blessing to our lives! We thank God everyday for him. Lately he has been grabbing at everything. He notices more and more everyday. He is now 4 months and 1 week. For about one month now he has been trying to roll over. He can get completely on his side with his leg kicked over, but his shoulder seems to stop him. He loves to laugh out loud and has the funniest facial expressions. He has also been grabbing his feet for a couple of weeks. He has his 4 month check up in 8 days. We can't wait to see what he weighs! We will post pictures soon!
