Troy and Melanie (dot com)

This past week was a mess. We got a call from school on Wednesday that Cole had vomited a few times and they needed us to pick him up. So we both left work early… I swung by the school and picked up Cole and Melanie headed home so she would be there to take care of him once we got there. Other than vomiting he was in happy spirits… odd… no fever. By 2pm the next day his vomiting had cleared up… all was looking good… and then Friday morning hit. 3am Mel is up vomiting… by 6am I’m in the other bathroom doing the same… by 3pm we threw in the towel and had to call in help (THANK YOU JEN AND STEPH!). The good news is that we have great friends and they were able to take Cole overnight and deliver us some much needed supplies. We’re feeling better now, but that was a week and weekend that I don’t want to repeat. And now I’m going to leave you with some photos while I go firefight a problem at work.

This past week was a pretty eventful week (and I’m going to include today in that week)…

• Upped Cole’s bottles to 5 ounces
• I supported a 14 hour software release for work on Saturday
• The Colts and Saints won their respective conference championship games to earn a spot in the Superbowl (for the Saints this will be their first ever appearance in the Superbowl… the subject line of this post is a shout out to them)
• We bought a Blu-ray player and upgraded our home theatre system (more toys for me)
• We had dinner with Steph, Dave, AJ, and Katie at Rudy’s tonight (always good to hang out with friends)

This coming week is going to be eventful too. My birthday is on Thursday the 28th (33 years old). Melanie and I are going to celebrate with a dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in downtown (pricey, but sooo good). We’re upping Cole’s bottles to 6 ounces and planning on introducing solids to his diet in the next couple of weeks. Cole’s teachers told us that he’s starting to roll over from back to front which is a good sign of the progress he’s making on muscle control. He’s definitely getting stronger… constantly wanting to sit up when we put him on his back (check out the photo below of him trying to sit up in his bathtub).
