Fisher's Pictures

We recently had Fisher's picture taken. We like how they turned out. Here are a few samples.

Cabin Good, Puking Bad

So here is the latest update on our family...I am still going to school and work. A few cool classes I am taking are Digital Media Essentials and Cultural Anthropology. Emily is taking care of Fisher 24/7 and also taking Kickboxing, Aerobics, and Hospitality Management, and Meteorology online. As always we are just trying to keep our head above water balancing our time. We had a blast when we went up to the cabin Valentines Day weekend with Emily's family. A big downer was on Sunday almost all of us woke up with the stomach flu. Besides the puking and diarrhea- it was pretty fun and Emily's family loved it too. Fisher has been into the doctor several times this week due to his feeling sick. He has been pretty congested and it turns out that he has ear infections in both ears. They tried putting him on Prednisone for a night, but that turned out to be a nightmare--- he didn't sleep all night long and was hysterically crying. We couldn't do anything to calm him down except drive around all night long, which we did. He now weighs 20 lbs. and is in the 40 percentile in all categories, so he is shrinking into a Benjamin Button. Here are some photos of our latest adventures.

Fisher is now climbing all over everything he can.

He is virtuallly unstoppable.

Fisher's First Christmas

With school all finished up, we were ready (or not) for Christmas. For a while there it seemed like it would never end. Fisher got plenty of toys to keep him busy for the next 20 min.

7 Months

Here's the latest...I actually decided that I'd throw in a few sentences this time.

Fisher went in last Monday for his 6 month visit to the doctor. He now weighs 17.5 pounds. He is in the 50th percentile for weight, 78th percentile for height, and 35th percentile for the size of his noggin. He also received a nice cocktail of shots that gave him a fever for a few days but he is doing really well now and back to his screaming self (screaming screams of joy). He isn't quite crawling yet but manages to drag himself along and roll wherever he wishes. He doesn't quite sit up by himself either- he can, it's just that he'd rather spazz out and try standing up.

Emily and I are both in school and can't wait til it's over. She goes at night and I run back and forth from UVU and work. We are both working on 10-12 page english research papers which might be the end of us. She is working on biology, and geology assignments and tests while I am working on a structural steel class, trig, and a 3D architectural modeling class (Revit). We now know how easy we had it going to school without a baby!!! It's a good thing he's got his Grandparents around so we can dump him off when we need to buckle down and get things done. In the end, Fisher pretty much bosses us around all day- which is fine I guess since we both like havin him around. Emily has so much patience with him and is the best mom ever. All props go to Em. Anything good said about Fisher is because of her.
