Murder Mystery Dinner

James and I went on a date on Saturday night; it was a murder mystery dinner. So FUN!  It was up in Sandy so Thomas's Harris grandparents (that's a mouthfull) watched him, and James and I went out.  It was at a place called Spaghetti Mama's, which was pretty good.  It was a ton of fun to get to participate and eat yummy food while trying to decide who done it.  I was right with my first guess, but then at the last second I changed my mind, oh well! I had a wonderful time, and so did James. Gotta love it!

Offical 4 month stats

Height: 24 1/2 Inches

Weight: 13 lbs 7 oz

Head circ: ????

He is in the 15th percentile for height and weight :)  As James says "He's a little string bean!"

Amnesia

I am pretty sure that's what Thomas has.  All of the sudden he forgot how to sleep through the night, and I am about to loose my cool.  It's really not fun having an angry baby and no sleep.  I wonder why he has decided not sleeping is so fun...

Semi-solid like stuff

So the baby food they call solid food for baby's first "solids" Psssh! It's just formula with a tiny bit of super ground up oatmeal.  So it's more like a little mush :)  But he did great!  He loved it (meaning he actually ate some of it, and it didn't all just fall out the sides of his mouth).  It was a lot of fun for James and I, you know, taking super adorable pictures and fauning over Thomas (our usual daily activities)  He is such a little stud.  I can't believe how big he is getting, and how fast he is growing!  And personally I am very impressed with him eating that mushy stuff, it seemed gross to me... It's a good thing I am not the one eating it!  He is the cutest! But don't take my word for it:

Growing up!

So we had our 4 month doc appointment today. And I'm annoyed.  Let me tell you why. 
We had this appointment set up over a week ago, and they called the day before to tell us we couldn't actually have the appointment because it had to be exactly 2 months after the last shots.  So fine, (it's not like we had the appointment set up for 3 weeks or anything, oh wait...) we rescheduled for today.  We got there this morning and they said "we can't do the shots today, because our nurse it out today"  So what about the Dr?  He doesn't do shots... for who knows what reason.  So we had an entire appointment for them to tell us how he's growing right?  They didn't, he is 13 lb 7 ounces, but how long?  Who knows, they didn't measure him.   What percentile?  Yeah right, I don't have those charts.  So now I am not too happy with my Dr.'s office.  But Thomas is doing well (I am guessing, becaue the Dr didn't say otherwise)  He did say we could start him on rice cereal.  I believe his exact words were "If he can chew on his feet and eat toe jam, then he can't have some real jam" lol  Obviously we aren't going to give him a spoon full of  jam, but we are going to try and start some rice cereal.  I promise to post pictures!

James is AWESOME!

Job Offer

So I got a most random call the other day.  It was from my boss at Blendtec (the company I worked at before I got pregnant and therefore sick)  She offered me a job.  Basically my dream job, it would be the job I would want once I completed my degree.  I was VERY tempted, I'll be honest.  HR administration may not sound very exciting to everyone else out there in the blogosphere, but a dear friend of mine misses Lord Byron and Shakespearean essays, so there's really no accounting for taste ;) (I love you Brittany!)  It would have been only part time, and I would have gotten to choose my own hours and times and days.  Of course more money is always nice :)  But, then Thomas sat and smiled at me and laughed when I smiled at him, and I knew I couldn't leave him.  Even if it was temporary and very part time.  I of course thought about the career I would have if I had a career before children, and HR would have been it.   But, Thomas came first, and I wouldn't trade my days (albeit sometimes boring, frustrating, messy, tiring and dirty) with Thomas for anything.  Especially when James gets to come home and all three of us get to play!  It was a great compliment for them to offer me the position, but I want to be a mommy :)  When I told them I couldn't do it, they told me that if I ever was ready to come back to work, to call them, and they would love to have me back.  Which is awesome!
Side note: We are going on a double date tomorrow night, and I am very excited!
