Snow in Birmingham!

Pearson's first snow. I know our neighbors thought about calling DHR as we took pictures of Pearson in the snow. Sorry they aren't closer up.

The media can definitely create a frenzy. In Alabama news stations create excitement and chaos out of inclement weather. The Pig benefited as everyone ventured out to stock up on milk, canned goods, and other warm snacks to enjoy. Also hardware stores and sporting goods stores carrying sleds finally emptied the inventory!

Now I will take a shot at the national media and their desire to create frenzy in the hearts of Americans... they choose to continue to use the dreaded "R" word... as Darrell says, "stop saying it"... Recession! Yes! People we have had one month of decline and the media wants everyone to know we are in a Recession. On Sunday, Ben Stein said that it takes 6 solid months of a decline to become a true recession. So come June we may be in a recession, that means we will have to hear the "R" word for 6 more months. The power of the media!

I think the media will also have Hilary Clinton leading a civil rights march right into the White House just in time to stop the glaciers in Greenland from overflowing the earth!

"He slept well last night!"

This is a picture less post, which I am sure will not sit well with those of you who only read for the Pearson pics. You can skip my below rant!

"He slept well last night!" My favorite quote from my favorite person, my husband! Darrell is a sweet husband and wonderful dad. He tries to be so helpful, and is great at baths. He is also quite possibly the heaviest sleeper you'll ever sleep with (not that you would be sleeping with him.)

Every morning Darrell rolls over and says, "He slept well last night!" Now this is sometimes, but most always never true!

Sleeping... giving your baby the gift of sleep... I will gladly give it!

We mastered the art of the napping during the day. Or for those of you Baby Wise followers the "Eat, Wake, Sleep" pattern. Pearson can eat with the best of them (its all in his thighs). He can stay awake delightfully for a while, and then fights sleep like a champ!

So now his mom keeps her eyes open all the time! When will this little bundle of joy ever sleep through the night!

I love the comments from the mothers blessed with sleeping babies.

"Well my baby slept through the night at 4 weeks. I had him on a strict schedule it works. Just let him cry it out!" (Maybe she should sleep a night with Pearson's lungs)

Other comments... "Babies sleep once they are 12 pounds" (Well this 13 pounder isn't!)

"Oh she sleeps through the night from 10 to 4" (By the way she is only 3 weeks old :)

Can't fault them! They are just blessed.

One day, one glorious day or should I say NIGHT! I will get 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep. Then I will not need the extra makeup under my eyes to trick everyone into believing I am well rested.

My sweet friend gives me hope. Her baby slept at three months! In two weeks Pearson will be 12 weeks, which is three months, which is over the 12 pound threshold, and he will have been following Baby Wise... eat, wake, sleep for quite sometime!

My dreams called... they miss me!

10 Weeks and growing...

Pearson with his blue elephant in his cute little outfit and sweater. This is Pearson after church. He then went to his first and hopefully last bridal tea. Until he is the groom picking up the gifts. We definitely don't want him to make it a habit of attending such feminine events.

Pearson on his play gym. After avoiding love (code for licks... don't tell his grandmothers or his great grandmothers they will have a fit...hahaha) from Lolly, he was enjoying rolling from his stomach to his back. I wanted to make a video, but of course he stopped just when I started recording.

Pearson turns 10 weeks tomorrow! He is a large boy weighing in at 13 lbs and 4 oz. He goes this week for his 2 month check up, and we will know percentiles. Here is a video... Pearson playing on his changing pad, which is for some reason one of his favorite places to play. He is talking... I am not sure if the sound came through. I think all you can hear is me, which is embarrassing!
