Baby J 4.5 months

Baby J has taken a turn for the better as of late (possibly the last week but I can't quite remember). He is cooing and squealing a lot and giggling when I tickle him. One thing that makes nursing him at 2am or 4am not completely horrible is that he will give me the biggest smile when I'm changing his diaper.

He seems so sweet to me but others beg to differ. Not sure why but he screams when he's being held by anyone else. I've been told he's a momma's boy, which is a double edge sword honestly, therefore he only wants to be held by me. The Hub did give him a bottle a few times last weekend when I ran off to Ikea for the whole day to buy cabinets and after that he's seemed to warm up to daddy.

The Hub is actually getting a smile out of him at times. It seems his colick is dissappearing (hopefully) and that his spit up is lessening, a plus about this is that I smell less like rotting milk and that I get to enjoy a happier & sillier baby. We're grateful for the changes and are welcoming more happier baby moments.

We shall see if he can warm up to Grandma this weekend. The Hub and I are leaving for Cleveland today for an overnight trip. We are going to see a concert and stay in a lovely hotel room, that I don't have to clean! Grandma was gracious to volunteer her time and energy and watch the kiddos. This means that Baby J is gonna get a bottle for almost 24 hours...I hope it goes okay.

On another note, I think his eyes might just be turning brown. It's difficult to tell from the pic, they kind of come off grey but we'll see soon enough.

Independent Woman

Here she is being independent and happy. This is the middle of the morning so by the end of the day yesterday her shirt was blubbered on thanks to the teething! This is a rare smile in the midst of her unhappy teething pain.

Twelve Weeks and A Lot of Fun

Super N was 12 weeks on Wednesday. As of now she is a smiling fool! :) I just love it. She's a big talker when she's getting her diaper changed. Just like most women she has the gift of gab already!
She's very sweet and is officially as of last week sleeping through the night...whooo yay!
We also do not put rice cereal in her bottle at night anymore. She doesn't seem to need it and i have a feeling that the rice cereal has contributed to her being 3 months but wearing 6-9 month clothes! She's a lot of fun these days and W wants more than ever to play with her but we still have a few more months until that can happen.

This morning he bonked her in the face with his mega block structure, she didn't bust out crying like i thought she would though. Instead her lip did the quiver thing and then i had an opportunity to distract her by rubbing her cheek and consoling her with my voice. This is new and it's so hard to believe how fast they change!
Crazy!

Waiting On Super N

Look at this little munch!
He's so photogenic it just cracks me up.
I realize it's been a long time since i've blogged about life and bebe's. Let's see, i am now 37 weeks pregnant (today actually). The little boy above is now 16 months. He's walking along furniture now and by holding our hands. He also got a walking toy for Christmas from his Aunt Leah, Uncle Bill and cousins Emma, Jadon, Kara, and Ava. He loves his walking toy and can often be found motoring through the house with it. I hope he can somehow pick up the walking thing in the next two weeks since my baby is coming out then.

Oh yes new baby. Super N will arrive at/around Aug 9th/10th that is if she doesn't appear earlier. Which i hope she does choose to appear earlier b/c i'm really uncomfortable and ready to move on to the infant stage and leave pregnancy behind!

At any rate, I'm excited to have a new baby on her way and excited and scared to see how our current 1 year old will adjust.

Until next time...hopefully i will have a new baby to talk about!

Cutey Pie

Here's our goofy little boy at 1 year and 3 weeks. He was fighting a cold here so he's looking a bit drowsy and snotty. However, his smile is pretty darn cute!

Tales of the smiley baby.

I think i have a smiley baby. You know the kind of baby who smiles all the time and loves to crack up. My baby lights up my day, especially when i can get him to crack up at the most basic things. But to him they are the funniest things he's literally ever seen with his 8 month old eyes.

This baby is truly a ham and i swear he'll have you rollin in your seat if you meet him. Just ask his grandma and grandpa or his daddy. I love this little boy and the funny sense of humor that God has given him. I can't wait to have conversations with him to see what kind of things he thinks about. Thanks God for my silly kid!
