Random pics from a busy week

This past week was pretty crazy. I finished up school on Tuesday (YEA!), hung out with family, took all three dogs to the vet, cleaned our house of tick-infested dogs, took Catch back to the doctor, and continually woke up during the night to rock a fussy baby back to sleep (and I'm not talking about Chris). ;0)

I'm not going to lie, we had a rough week with our Catcheroo. It's like he turned one, and he became whinier. I know he's teething and not feeling the greatest, but when we are home, he cries when I'm out of sight and cries when I lie him down. He's been sleeping with us for almost 2 weeks, and I'm pretty sure that's made him even more attached (me as well). Last night, I was up from 3-6 trying to console him. This is definitely the most frustrated I've been since the first couple of months. In between all the crying, he's totally become a walker and explorer, which means I can't let him out of my sight for a second. With that, anytime I redirect him, he screams, cries, and throws his head back to pitch a fit. We're working on time-outs already. The funny thing is whenever we are out and about running errands, he's amazing! So, after a rough Thursday at home, he and I ran around all day Friday and it was so much fun. We met Bonnie and Erin for lunch at Santa Fe, visited daddy at work, and went to the bookstore. My oil light came on while we were driving home, so I took it to Hibdon's and Chris drove us to the mall. One of his coworkers told him about the store, The Children's Place, that's in the Sooner Fashion Mall. Mothers, if you haven't been, it's a must-go. They have some really cute but inexpensive clothes. I just noticed that there is one in Midwest City, so Catch and I will be taking a trip there next week. :0)

Well, enough of my ranting and raving. Here are the pics!

He loves his four wheeler.

Chasing Daddy


This is favorite position on the four wheeler...what does this say about him?!

Taking the four wheeler from his friend, Cason.

Opening some bday presents from Grandad and Grandma Manley

Catch with his Grandad Manley

Catch couldn't get enough food from Grandma Gloria. She made the cutest cards for Catch and he got some precious gifts.

Auntie Da got Catch some cool Converse, so now he can match her and Uncle Baba.

Catch playing at Carter's birthday.

He's trying to help Carter push his car.

hehehe...

Playing with the sidewalk chalk, but more like eating it.

:0)

More time on the four wheeler!

He may not look like it here, but he loves my kisses. :0)

Chris being a goofball with Catch.

Sleeping in our bed. I know, I know...

Trying to smooth talk some animal crackers from Auntie Bunky.

Lunch time!

It was a hot day, and he was ready to get in some air condition.

We went to the grocery store at 9:30, so we could be back for his afternoon nap, but I guess there's something peaceful about Walmart.

Eating lunch and playing with Mrs. Erin

Lunch with his future wife, Kelli.

Headed to a swim party at Uncle Guy and Aunt Brenda's house. Too bad he wasn't ready to swim. However, he did let me hold him in the pool. He actually fell asleep! I can't figure this boy out.

Lunch time or play time, who knows.

I hid the bottles Saturday morning, and he hasn't had one since. Each day has gotten better, but last night, he was really upset that I wouldn't give him one. Now, we will have to start with the pacifier. I'm dreading that one...

Gammie and Catch eating some carrots.

By the way, he's eating big boy food now! I made him pancakes this morning and Gammie made him a grilled cheese for lunch. He was in hog heaven!
