Truett's Farts

Last week, Friday to be exact, I was getting Truett ready for bed. We have a routine we do every night probably like most parents. Bath time, Diaper, Pj's, close the curtains, turn on sound machine, hugs and kisses to daddy, read books, rock a bit, and than night night in his crib with blanket and fuzzy. Well, this night was obviously no different. I was putting Truett's diaper on when he farted. It was loud and smelly. It was practically in my face. I reacted how someone would normally react to such an event, and Truett thought it was the funniest thing in the world. It was as if he was a teenage boy laughing at just doing a smelly fart in in his mommy's face. It really was funny even to me a bit. We proceed in the bedtime process. Now we are reading books, and he lets 2 more go. I now can not handle it.

During this pregnancy I am convinced that my nose is way more sensitive than it was with Truett. Half my battles have been living in my apartment because of my neighbors smelly cooking and no fresh air. Now that the sun is back and the weather is nice, the windows are open and I can walk around the house without a face mask on (literally).

So, back to the fart story. The second time, I can't handle it much longer. I yell for Josh to come and relieve me and take over bedtime process. I then proceed to the bathroom to throw up what seems like everything I ate that day. Which was a real bummer, Josh had brought home a T-bone steak from work to grill out. I ate the filet and he had the strip. It was awesome, well not for long. I don't think baby got any of that steak.

End of story, hope you got a good laugh.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma

Last night Truett opened a present that came in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Stringer. He loves it. We always read books before bed and this is the one he wanted last night and then this morning he read it to his buddy David. This is one of the coolest gift ideas.

Shana's Update: sorry no photos

I know I am way overdue for a post. I apologize my first trimester has not been a fun one. Unfortunately, Josh takes his computer to class so when I think to sit down and post I usually can't because he has his computer (his computer stores all the photos and videos). Although, I haven't been good at even taking any photos or videos the past 2 months. I am curious to see what we even have on there. So, I hope this update will do (with no photos).

Truett is amazing. He is fast approaching 19 months. All of a sudden he has started to say all kinds of words. We were worried for a while because he can sign so much, and he still chooses to sign over speak sometimes, but at least we can communicate. He is such a big boy. He can push him self on his ride on toys, throws balls really well and with good aim, plays with puzzles, stacks blocks, and still loves books. His favorite toys are probably his balls. He has a huge box full of them and he chooses them over anything else all the time. Anytime we go somewhere he is asking for a ball to take with us. Every stage I say to myself he is so much fun. He gets better and better. He is heavy and it is starting to set in that I don't have much longer in this pregnancy to be picking him up. I can barely put him in his crib at night. He is wearing 18m and 24m clothes. I think he is pretty skinny, but he seems pretty long. One of the cutest things that he does is come up to us and speak all kinds of jibber jabber. He is so cute. He wants so bad to tell us all kinds of stuff, but not quite there yet.

Josh is doing great with school. We are totally excited this is our last semester. I can hardly believe in 2 months we'll be packing up. I am excited and sad all at the same time. Most likely we are moving home to GA with no job prospects in the immediate future, although Josh is still working on that and there seem to be some great possibilities. It will be sad to leave behind some of the friends we have made here because who knows if and when we will see them again. Every one here is in the same mode of from here then where and so we will all be spread out. Back to Josh, I know he is enjoying his last semester as well.

As for me, I am pregnant, and that about sums it all up. First trimester seems to still be going since I am still sick. I will be 13 weeks on Thursday. I am thankful that the toilet worship has kind of come to an end. The last time that happened, Truett played along side me and at one point had dragged his crawl tunnel into the bathroom. When I started to throw-up he stood at the toilet next to me putt his head on my shoulder and then himself pretended to throw up in the toilet. It definitely perked up the event taking place. I am definitely showing. Although to the unknown person I think I probably just look chubby in my tummy.

That is all I can think of for an update for now. I hope to be able to get some pictures or videos on here soon so stay posted. We have no forgotten the blog.
