Lleyton post surgery



Some people have asked me how Lleyton is doing now that it has been a while since the surgery. Well, right now I am blogging and he has been sleeping 3 hours straight. He would've never done that before. He sleeps a lot better now and eats a lot better now. It was so hard to get him to eat or sleep through the night before. I would have to say it's been worth it. It was hard to tell until recently because right after he recovered from surgery he grabbed my hair straightener and got pussy blisters all over both of his hands, and his last 4 teeth were cutting through. Now that that's all over with he is much happier and so am I. He has been so fun and cute and we can't get enough of him. Hopefully he won't have to deal with so much pain and crap moving forward. Here are some pics of how well he is eating lately :)

The Zoo!

So Josh had the day off and we decided to make a day of it. We went to the Zoo and his store up in Bountiful since I have never been there even though he moved up over a year ago. We went to the zoo first and I was a little worried because Lleyton was very tired and cranky as you can tell ...
Once inside though he immediately got excited. He was pointing and trying to say all the animal names. You could not even tell minutes earlier he had been tired and cranky. I love this pic, Lleyton is all cute and smiley and Josh looks like I just told him my water broke or something.
The only pic of me all day and for good reason. I look chubby! Sad part is I thought I was looking pretty good until I saw myself on camera and all the anorexic pregnant girls walking around the Zoo. I wish I was one of those girls who only got a little tummy and didn't gain anywhere else but unfortunately I'm not and there is nothing I can do about.


Here is Lleyton in the reptile room. It was so cute he kept trying to say turtle but couldn't quite. He is pointing at the Tortoises aka turtles.Here they are. They were huge. The picture makes them look tiny.
Can you see it ...
Josh called me over and told me to look up, right above my head was some type of monkey chillin' I can't believe he spotted it. Here they are pointing to it.
The tiger. We were so excited because Lleyton always roars everytime you see a Tiger, Lion, or Bear. Wasn't really the best crowd pleaser though. Plus they didn't even have a Lion that or it was hiding.
Lleyton with the giraffe's it's crazy how big they are. I felt bad taking this pic, I thought I turned my flash off but I guess not. They have a big sign that says no flashes.

I thought it was pretty fun. Before we went in Josh asked how big it was, and I said, "I don't know big, but I don't know what to compare it to." Well Josh is used to the Zoo in D.C. so I wasn't the best person to ask. It was perfect for a pregnant girl. We were able to see all the animals in just under two hours. Josh was impressed because I kept up and didn't whine until the end right before lunch. Once I was done I was done. I kept telling him to keep going, I was afraid if I sat down I wouldn't get up. He couldn't quite understand why it made me so I tired. I told him it was because I was carrying around 20 extra lbs. He replied "well I've been carrying Lleyton the last 15 minutes and I'm not tired". Men, I only wish they knew what it was like being pregnant.

After that we hit lunch and went to Josh's store. It was interesting seeing all the people he's been talking about for a year now. I pictured them differently in my head then they really were. It was good to see where he works. He complains about how small it is but it really wasn't that bad until you saw there freight room. Poor guy. It's so tiny they have hardly any room to put freight. Hopefully we can move that way soon. If you know anybody who wants to rent will give them a good deal :)

Easter weekend


Dying Eggs at my parents house.
He was so cute

He really liked dying them with Grandpa. He would go "OOoohhh" when we'd drop them in the dye.My Easter Flowers from my sweet hubby. They smell awesome and we haven't killed them. wahoo!
Lleyton's Easter goods before he got to them. We got him a Diego raquet so he can go play tennis with Josh. He always carries Josh's racquets around the house. Instead of going crazy with candy I got him play dough, bubbles, and other stuff. I went a little overboard. I was just going to get him one toy and then Josh came home with stuff too. Oh well I'll have to start worrying when he gets old enough to remember how much he got the year before.
His snake from the easter egg hunt.
Lleyton had an easter egg hunt and did really well when it came to finding them. I bought plastic eggs filled with stretchy lizards, snakes, and frogs. He still liked them and we didn't have a candy overload.
playing with legos with Daddy
Annual Easter Pic. At my parents house for dinner and egg bashing. Don't we look skinny ... Not!
After dinner we went to Josh's Mom's house for dessert. Too bad we didn't get a pic with her. This is Josh with his Grandpa. What a funny old man.



For all of those who feel so inclined here is the video of Lleyton going to see his Easter basket. I know some of the grandparents are too far away and don't get to see him so this is the best we could do.
