He has eyes!!!!!!

So the past few days we have discovered that our little boy indeed does have eyes, we were told it would happen and.......it did!!! I swear the kid is going through a growth spurt as he is eating every 2 1/2-3 hours!!
So, last week I was not feeling very good so, I went to bed early. I woke up at 3am to thisRichard had Phoenix last Thursday night while we were watching our weekly thursday shows and he had fallen asleep on him like normal. Well on a typical night when we are ready to go to bed I will get Phoenix ready for bed and change his diaper and by that time he is normally hungry. On this night I went to bed pretty early and then woke up at 3 am and looked in Phoenix's bassinet to find.......no baby there. I look over on the couch to see this. So I wake them up and asked Richard why he was sleeping on the couch and he told me that he knew I didn't feel good so he just didn't move and slowly layed down on the couch trying to keep Phoenix from waking up so that I could sleep. What a good daddy!!
A couple days later Richard got him dressed for the day.
Today Phoenix discovered he likes to be held and nothing else while he is awake. Today he was awake from 7:30 am until about noon and didn't have any interest in being in his bouncer or playing with his toys on the floor. He only wanted me to be right by him while he was playing or holding him. I never knew it would be so hard to actually put some clothes on or take a 5 minute shower. Finally I got in the shower and ate for the first time today at 12:30 but not after I acomplished this.......That said, I love being a mother and can't imagine our lives without him.

Never too early...

So I am a firm believer that you are never too young to start certain things. Potty training for example... will begin in four months. No I'm not getting ahead of myself, I just think that starting little Phoenix in some of these life altering events will be good for him. Which is why Kerra and I took him golfing on Saturday with his auntie Erin and golf extraordinaire Trevor! No he didn't golf, but he and mommy enjoyed the sporadic bursts of sunshine on Utah's finest $7 Par 3 course!
Yeah, you can't really see his face, but he's loving life out on the green's. Coincidentally it was Erin's first time golfing too! I probably wasn't the best teacher but by the last hole she made it to the green before I did so good job Erin!
In fact I think she birdied this hole... no wait, this is the one where her "expert" coach told her to aim just to the right of the hole to compensate for the break... I was way off but others might claim that I was trying to make her miss to improve my own score... I deny such accusations...
And here's Kerra and Phoenix chillin in the cart. I think Kerra would have had more fun if the golf cart went faster, was a convertible and had speakers so she could listen to music. Should I put this on your wish list babe?

Next first for baby? I'm thinking a shooting trip out to the west desert... want in?

Whatcha talkin bout Willis.

Oh the things you learn about while you are home all day with a sleeping baby. Y0u would think that the only thing to watch at 2 in the afternoon is soaps right? Oh no, divorce court comes on at 2pm. Yesterday and today on Divorce court they aired parts 1 and 2 of Gary Coleman vs Shannon Price. Gary and Shannon met on the set of Church ball and started dating. They have been married for 7 months and are now on divorce court to try and resolve their differences. There is a 28 year difference between Gary and Shannon.

How old do you think Barbara Walters is? Late 60's early 70's right? Oh no, I found out today that Barbara Walters will be 80 years old next year!!! That is nuts!! This morning on The View they showed some really young pictures of her, she is really pretty. I can't find the ones they showed but, I did find something that will work. She has aged very well. I wonder really how much work she has had done?!??!
Who knew you could find out so many interesting things with free time.
