Catching up...

It's been awhile and JP is asleep right now so I had a little free time on my hands...He's a busy little fellow these days. He is taking a few steps by himself these days (I know my life is never gonna be the same after he starts walking on his own but I'm okay with that :)) Anyways here are a few updates in condensed form.

• 
  
  JP weighs around 21 lbs (give or take a dirty diaper) and he's around 31 inches tall


• 
  
  He has 2 and a half teeth (the bottom 2 and half of a left fang-he looks rather "Jack-O-Lantern-esque" with the whole orange motif and funky teeth


• 
  
  I am getting married sometime this spring (at risk of sounding cliche, I AM truly blessed :) to have this wonderful guy in my life. He is a great role model for JP and he fit right in with my crazy family!)


• 
  
  I am enjoying work. I got pulled to work on a med-surg floor last weekend (probably the worst floor in the hospital...because of the acuity of the patients...think Peg tubes, trachs, mental health problems, detox, etc.) It took me getting pulled to that floor to realize how lucky I am to be working with patients that WANT to get better and get out of the hospital (well, most of them anyways!) And to risk sounding cliche again...I realized how blessed :) I was to be on the cardiac floor instead of the "dreaded" med-surg floor!


• 
  
  JP is talking these days...he says "mama," "dada," "PaPa" (my dad), and "NaNa" (my mom-she was wanting him to call her "GiGi" but he had other plans for her.) He is also saying "bye-bye," "ba" (for Ball), and we ask him what the sheep says and he says "BAAAAA" real loud and country-like (it's rather entertaining). He is a smart little guy :) I think he gets he gets it from me...He hasn't said any dirty words yet ...I'm sure he's saving those for church :)


• 
  
  Mississippi State won a bowl game..."GO DAWGS!" :) The future husband is a HUGE Ole Miss fan so it made it that much sweeter :)


• 
  
  Last but not least...I am starting to "train" for a 5K...not sure how successful I'll be but I'll try to keep updated post about it...for those of you that know me you know about my "allergy" to working out...it ought to prove quite entertaining! I figure none of these post-CABG patients want a "jiggly" nurse teaching them about proper heart healthy diet and cardiac rehab :)

Anyways...that's all I can think of now...I have a few recent pics of JP. Enjoy! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope the new year brings lots of excitement! Bless everyone's heart:)
