Family Time

(Mom Dad and Bug)

(Handsome Boy)

We have been SUPER busy ... for the past 2 1/2 weeks we have had family in town. It started with Eric's dad and his family followed by the rest of the Heim's. The day after they all left my grandmother, grandfather and aunt from Florida came to meet the little man. Deegan is truly loved and as such I am not sure if he was put down on the floor during that whole time.

While everyone was in town we were able to take a picture with Deegan and ALL of his GREAT-Grandparents (a miracle that we were all together at the same time). This will be a great picture for him to look at 20yrs down the road.

The Brits were in town! Tracey's parents came into town from England so we went over for dinner to enjoy their company. I love that her dad follows the blog ... at least someone reads this :) Deegan took to the both of them and was perfectly content.

Below is Emily (6 weeks older) and Bug. He has proved himself to be baby Godzilla as he is longer then her and his feet are GINARMOUS compared to hers. Emily has to be one of the most well behaved babies I have ever met (watch out when she is 13!). She did not cry once, did not eat once nor did Tim or Tracey have to change a diaper. On the other hand Deegan had his "I need love trantrums", ate 2x and we changed 7 diapers. Oh how I love my needy boy!!!

Godzilla

It has been confirmed ... Eric and I have given birth to baby GODZILLA! We went in for Deegan's 2 month check up and he is a big boy. He is in the 97% for his height (yes my child), 57% for weight and 50% for his head size. The Dr guessed that he will actually be taller then Eric ... he will stand out like a sore thumb in when he is with the Schillingers!


We have been in the routine of giving Deegan a bath every night before bed and it has turned into the best part of our day. He can be screaming and once he hits that water he is calm as a clam. When we take him out to dry he just smiles, coo's and talks to us ... oooh this is love!

Eric's Family was in town for a week and Deegan had a great time playing with his cousins. The girls were great babysitters and I wish they lived closer so that I could use them in the future (of course I am still not bold enough to leave him alone for too long). On another note ... it is obvious that DMan looks like his cousins (not so much in this picture but in general).

We have my family in town this week so there will be more pictures coming soon :)

The Pictures are up!!!

We finally got the pictures back from our photographer of Deegan and they are AMAZING!!! I am going to go broke because I want them all :) They will only be posted for 7 days so check them out at this link: sallycphotography.com/images/#/heim/

Hanging Out

I forgot to update the blog after we went to Deegan's 6 week appointment over a week ago ... He is in the 90% for his height (obviously that does not come from the Schillinger side) and is in the 50% for his weight. Basically he is a spitting image of his father ... tall, skinny and handsome :) He has really been developing and is smiling at us and talks all the time to his animals.


We went on our third dinner outing the other night with Jackie, Tyler and the twins. Deegan did really well and only fussed when of course he had a wet diaper. I also think the twins did a great job to keep him clam by singing him the ABC's over and over. It was adorable and I think they will make great babysitters in the future!!!


Grandma Foo finally made it into town and she has been bonding with Deegan. She seems to have a calming effect on our little man and Eric and I have offered for her to move in with us :) She stands guard when he is sleeping, shoo's us away when he is awake and playing and always makes us change those dirty diapers. She definitely is reaping the benefits of being a great grandma.

(Long story but this is an inside joke that was taken to the next level)

The Princess and the Pea

We are living our own version of this classic fable, only ours is called Deegan and the Dirty Diaper. Like the original, our story too involves "P" but the other kind (Pee). Deegan hates a wet diaper and begins to cry as it comes out and refuses to sit in one. He will literally scream bloody murder until the diaper is off. We can easily go through 8-10 diapers in an hour (well hydrated) which is hurting our wallets! This wet diaper nonsense is hopefully a stage and not a lasting condition!

We had professional photo's of Deegan taken when he was 2 weeks old and we have a couple of sneak peaks. We will let you know when all the proofs come in!

We had a successful weekend as we got out of the house and made it up to the cabin. Surprisingly the drive went smooth. We timed it perfectly with his naps and he slept the entire way. If the drive had been any longer it could have been disastrous!
