September 2014 = Recooperating

As September rolled around, my PPD meds were really helping to level me out.  I made the giant step from having live-in help (Brandon's mom) to taking care of Will by myself again.  Of course, nobody was too far away and we still had lots of visits from family.

My Mom in Town


An outing to Garden Ridge turned into a nursing session in the outdoor seating department.

We discovered early-on Jedi's love for books and reading.

September 5-7, 2014:
First Visit to the Grandparents' Houses

Our first stop was Lville to my parents house.  My Dad's side of the family came over too.




All the grandkids have had a sink bath by Nana



One reason we were in town was for the annual neighborhood yard sale.  It's a huge event and we always do pretty well at selling our unwanteds.

My friend, Gina, stopped in to meet Jedi.

Shannon stopped by with Baby D too for another photo op

My Mom's two best friends came over as well.  Here's Tammy charming Jedi....

....and later, Susan making eyes at him!

First visit to Nana & Pawpaw's House is in the books.

On the way out of town, we stopped in to see Brandon's Mammaw (his Mom's mom).  Jedi is blessed to have 5 living great-grandparents!

Great Aunt Pam was also there


Our next stop was in Cville to visit Mammaw & Pappaw (Brandon's parents).

Brandon snatched up Little S (his cousin, Shannon's little girl)....

....while Shannon got her hands on Jedi!

Little S thought Jedi was a baby doll.  She loved kissing him!

Cousin-in-law ChristyAnn

We were so happy to visit Mammaw & Pappaw's House too!

Jedi is such a happy, smiley, and content little guy.


September 19, 2014:
Oktoberfest at Christ the King Church


We went with Brandon's office-mate, Zach, and his wife, Jackie.


Where's Jedi?
Making laps at the mall in his stroller.

Like any other mother of a youngin, I stayed covered in spit-up.

Jedi loves taking baths!

Another visit to C-ville for Ham Days

Poop Face

Nursing session in the changing room at Meijer.....this was right before a melt-down on Jedi's part that sent me to the car, crying all the way home.

You live and learn though, and this melt-down helped me to realize I needed a stronger dose of my meds!  Thankfully, my doctor agreed and I my dosage was doubled.  October would prove to be much better and the fog would start to lift.
