rollin', rollin', rollin'.....

today i thought i would give xavier a little tummy time. it never really lasts long but i figured i should do it anyway.

i set him down and within a minute or so he had rolled over!! he went from tummy to back from his left side. i was in shock! i put him back on his tummy and he did it again. i was so happy and shocked that he actually rolled over. i was videoing him and i put him back down and he rolled over to the other side - and did a couple more times to that side!!! again, i was in shock! hahaha i am so proud of our little boy.

i will post videos soon! =)

he's wearing yellow, he must be a girl!

since when did yellow not become neutral and just become a color for girls? xavier has only worn yellow out in public 2 times and both of those times he has been called a girl!

its pretty ridiculous because my little man CLEARLY looks like a little man!

he must REALLY love his bath!

last night when we were putting xavier in the bath, we just barely touched his feet to the water and he laughed! not like a little laugh, it was a pretty big laugh. it was just so darn cute. that was the first time we actually heard a big laugh when he wasnt sleeping!

xavier's doctor appointment

well everything went ok(i guess) with xavier's doctor appointment for his lymph nodes. he did an ultrasound on all of them and he said that one was actually a harmless cyst and that he may have it for the rest of his life. he said that if it gets red and hot then its infected and will have to be removed - but that is unlikely. he doesnt know why his nodes are swollen though since he hasnt and doesnt have an infection anywhere.

thats it. he wasnt really good with english so i couldnt ask him a ton of questions but he told me they werent tumors and that he should be fine. but you better believe that if they are still swollen in a month i am taking him back.

=\

im nervous

at the end of may we found a swollen lymph node behind xavier's right ear. it wasnt very big, but it was big enough to feel. everywhere online said that its probably because of his baby acne and cradle cap - a lot of people had the same thing with their newborns. so we werent too concerned. the baby acne got pretty bad, especially on his ears and neck and it looked different than on his face and there was a swollen lymph node behind his left ear now. i made an appt for him to be seen by a doctor.

i took him in the beginning of june and he was seen by a doctor, but not his regular pediatrician that said that they were swollen because of the baby acne and cradle cap and that will go away on its own and they should go back to normal size. i made sure to ask a ton of questions and he assured me that everything was fine and told me about symptoms to look out for that would merit a trip to the ER(german).

here it is almost middle of july and the one behind his right has grown a little bit, the one behind is left is the same and he has 2 more towards the back of his head that are swollen. at his 2 month appt i told his pediatrician about it and she felt them and said that i needed to make an appt with a german pediatrician to have an ultrasound done on them. the appointment is tomorrow.

i really hope its nothing major and its still because of the lingering cradle cap. it makes me worry because 1 is normal, but 4?? oh and i also have to go by myself. jeremy isnt getting off work early to go with me. =( please pray its nothing major.

1st 4th of July

so our first 4th of july as a family wasnt too exciting. i woke up around 5am to feed xavier and i was dozing off and was suddenly awoken by a crash of thunder! the sky was orange from the sunrise so it made it very weird feeling. i am not a huge fan of storms so i woke jeremy up to come sit out in the living room with me. he had to go outside though to roll up the windows in our car. poor guy. first he gets woke up super early by his scaredy cat wife and then he has to go outside in the pouring rain! after i fed xavier we both fell asleep for a couple more hours. jeremy played video games. i woke up around 11 i think and puttsed around for a while. we were  contemplating whether or not we wanted to go to the whole 4th of july thing on one of the other bases. since it had rained a lot i wasnt a big fan of trying to  maneuver a stroller onto a soggy football field. we finally decided we werent going to go. instead we met up with the hernandez's and went to a bbq. the bbq didnt last long outside because it started to rain, and hard! it was crazy. we all went inside and ate and chilled there for a bit. we left there and went to the hernandez's house and jeremy played super mario galaxy 2 with their son. they had fun. we came home and just chilled for the rest of the night. no fireworks, nothing. i felt kind of bad. i wanted to be in america so bad that day. oh well. maybe next year's will be better.

jeremy's new uniform

the navy got new cami uniforms - blue camouflage. at first, before you could buy them, i wasnt all that impressed with them. but as time went on i started liking them more and more. now they are going to be required and so jeremy bought his and we finally got the last of them so we could get all of the patches sewn on. when xavier had his newborn photos taken i was really hoping that he had them so we could get this photo with the blue instead of the green:

now that we got them i took this photo:

hehehe i like his face!

anyway, so here are a few photos of jeremy in his uniform - the man that actually wears them =)

isnt he just too cute?
