The last blog in Lubbock

First off I want to apologize for never blogging.  I feel absolutely terrible that I have not been blogging for all my legions of followers… Ok anyway, this will be my last blog till after we move to Abilene.  So here it goes.  Yesterday marked the 17^th of March which is also St. Patty’s day!  And also, for some strange reason my mom tells me… my conception day… Yes I was a green  baby… or a product of green beer… Who knows… is this  TMI?  I think it might be… but since my Mom can tell me every year since I can remember that it was my conception day I can say what I want… Its my right. 

Back to the real blog.  So this blog was meant to be a blog of chronicling(I thought I created a word but this word was real) daddy stuff so I am going to get back on track… I can promise I’ll be on the right track because I like to ramble on about things… I am like Charlie Sheen… I am winning… boom.  So needless to say I will be blogging again about daddy stuff for those new dads and those who are expecting to be new dads and also have weird quirky things added in.  That’s who I am… What can I say I drink Tigerblood and I am a warlock.. Too much Charlie Sheen?  Yes, so I will stop. 

Well, Lilly is growing like a weed still and she has two teeth!  Yes not six months old yet and has 2 teeth!  I know 9 month olds that have no teeth… Well I do not know them personally and quite possibly they could be made up but needless to say there are 9 month olds that have fewer teeth than my great Lilly.  I will say during teething Children’s Advil is awesome!  Lilly loves the flavor and it actually works!  The tooth gel stuff doesn’t work that well and Lilly doesn’t like it.  Yours might but mine doesn’t.  Ok so things to know when babies are teething… they will chew on everything.  Spoons, shirts, cats, you, and themselves.  It’s what they do.  Lilly is funny about it because she will lunge for it like she is attacking her pray.  It kind of hurts but make sure whatever they are chewing on that it is clean.  And don’t let them chew on you because they will get into that habit and then you’ll have a people chewer and we know how those movies go…  For those that have no clue what I mean watch the shining and then never ever let your baby chew on you or other people again... Thanks Anthony Hopkins..  Side bar.  My cousin Andy was a biter, he is not a cannibal but he did have to eat pepper… I know crazy right?  But it worked he is 27 years old and finally kicked the habit, good job Andy! 

So during these teething times you might have a baby that just lets the teeth come through and you’re like “where did these teeth come from?”  Others will be like screaming in misery and getting fevers and stomach stuff (this is me as a child, I am sorry to my parents).  But one thing they have in common is drool and lots of it.  I compare it to the movie Turner and Hooch and the dog drool looking like shoe strings coming out it its mouth.  This is not far from the truth.  Last night I got drooled in my eye.  Lilly smiled and Molly laughed… It was funny but really in the eye Lilly?  Eh she is the cutest baby ever anyway. 

So my last day at City Bank is approaching and I am very excited about starting my new position at First Financial Bank  in Abilene!  Molly and her mother helped pack the majority of our house and we just have a little left and then we move the 24^th and into our new place the 25^th.  I then start my new job on the 28^th!  Yes I am going to do this and be very tired!  Pray for us and thank you for reading my blog.  More daddy stuff to come!
