One little monkey climbing on a chair...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. We had an accident happen, and it has taken me a while to be okay with blogging about it. A couple of weeks ago, Blaine was standing on a chair at the table. He leaned against the table and the table skid across the floor. Blaine fell and hit his mouth on the ground. When I went to pick him up, he had blood gushing from his mouth and he was missing a tooth. I tried to stay calm, but I was freaking out! I had him bite on a cold, wet wash rag to stop the bleeding. After a couple minutes Blaine stopped crying, but then I started crying! I found the tooth and put it in a cup of milk. We went to the dentist office, both covered in blood, and they got him back right away. The dentist said he could put the tooth back in but there was no guarantee it would stay in. I had to leave the room while they put the tooth back in. I could hear Blaine crying so, of course, I started crying! It was awful! The dentist said Blaine was only crying because I wasn't there, and that it didn't seem to hurt him at all. Once we got home, Blaine and I sat on the couch and watched a movie. Blaine fell asleep on my chest, he was pretty worn out, and I bawled! My little baby! I felt like such a terrible mom!
Well, that night I noticed Blaine chewing on something. At first I thought he was chewing on his lip because he had bit it when he fell and it was swollen and some of the skin was coming off. Oh no! It was his tooth! It had fallen out and he was chewing on it. So, my baby boy is officially missing a tooth.

He doesn't really seem to notice, but I cried for 2 days straight. Everyone thought I was silly for being upset. They kept saying it wasn't my fault and there was nothing I could do about it, but I still felt awful. Honestly, I still feel bad about it. I'm sure I will always feel bad. Blaine will be thirty years old and I'm sure I will still sometimes cry when we talk about it.

Here are a couple of pictures.

My sweet baby boy.

The tooth. (My mom and Summer said I had to keep it. Weirdos!)

Belly Picture

So, I totally thought my belly was bigger than this. I was surprised to see this picture and see that it's really not that big! I have to admit that I really like my belly! Whenever I walk by a mirror or window, I am checking out my belly! Is that weird? Maybe it's because I thought I would never have one. Ü

What a great Christmas!

We hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. We did! It was fun spending time with each other and our families. Ya know how you always hear about those husbands who buy their wives presents like an exercise machine or some really thoughtless gift? (Unless you asked for it, then it's not thoughtless. Ü) Tyson is the total opposite! Every year he makes me cry with the sweet gifts he gets me. They aren't huge, elaborate gifts, but they mean so much to me. This year he bought me a beautiful bracelet. It has 2 rows of beads. The top row are light pink, round beads and the bottom row is silver, round beads. Then, it has a silver heart charm attached to it. On one side the heart says Blaine and the other side says I Love You Mommy. I adore it! It is probably the best gift I have EVER gotten for Christmas! I love wearing it and showing it off. What an amazing Husband I have! I wish the holidays didn't go by so fast! Here are a few pictures from our Christmas.

This is my favorite picture from Christmas!

I love this picture!

Blaine snatched a cookie from Santa's plate.

Ready to check out our presents on Christmas morning.

Blaine liked Daddy's toy.

Blaine did this to himself!

Also, I thought I would give you an update on Eli. We had a doctors appointment yesterday. We did the "Big" ultrasound. That was so neat! Eli is doing great. Everything looked perfect. (That's what the Technician said. I could only tell obvious things like his face, spine, hands and feet.) Eli is measuring a week ahead. He is 14 oz and 12 inches long. He is moving around like crazy! Tyson has even felt him move. It's very exciting!

(Sorry this picture isn't so great! We don't have a scanner so I just took a picture of the ultrasound.)

Wedding Pictures

My youngest sister, Danielle, got married on December 16th. She married Spencer Okey in the Salt Lake Temple. I am so proud of them. Since Dani is the "baby" in our family I still sometimes picture her as a little kid; I can't believe she is old enough to get married! Here are a couple of pictures from the wedding. There aren't any pictures of Dani and Spencer because I couldn't find the CD with their wedding pictures. Hopefully I will find it and add some pictures of them. Dani looked so beautiful! Congrats Dani and Spencer!

Blaine looks like such a stud in his little tux!

Daddy and Blaine at the Wedding Luncheon at the Lion House. Yum!
