2 Months

My baby boy is 2 months old!! I cannot believe how fast time goes yet how hard it already is to remember life before him. I often wonder what we used to do with all of our time?? Maybe eat a meal together, watch a full show in one sitting, and/or sleep!? :) I wouldn't trade my time with my sweet boy for ANY of those things! 

Look how much he has changed:

Crazy difference...he literally doesn't look like the same baby

So what have you been up to Mr. Cade?

Well you had your 1st nap in your crib, for about 1o minutes:

Had to start sleeping on your belly some to try and get rid of a flat bald spot:

Had your first snow outside of Momma's belly:

And started the babysitter: (That was a tough one for me, you didn't seem to mind)

Luckily your babysitter sent me this picture to let me know you were OK :)

Currently you like:

Baths:

Going places in your car seat: 

And the stroller:

Talking/Making faces:

We LOVE hearing your stories :)

Cuddling with Momma:

Playing with dad:

And your Rock-n-Play and paci!

You don't like...

-When we don't pay attention to you...which isn't often but happens from time to time when we are both busy.
-Being hungry...even for a second
-When the moving car stops for a moment

You're indifferent about:

Sleep and tummy time:

You like to be asleep but hate when you wake up to realize you are dozing off. And you like to be on your tummy for a bit, but not long. You are getting better though and have even started to sleep on your tummy some...when we lay you down that way already asleep that is :)

Happy 2 months sweet boy! We love you more than we ever knew we could!! :)

My Growing Boy/1st Week Back

Look at that sweet face 

My baby boy is growing!! He went to the dr yesterday, and he is now 10 lbs! That makes a breastfeeding momma happy. I constantly worry about him getting enough or if I am producing enough or if I am eating right. You name it, I worry about it. So hearing how much he has gained made me happy and also helped me realize I can chill out a little.

My chunky monnkey

So here are his stats:

Birth: 6lbs 5 oz, 19 in 

(5 lbs 15 oz when we left the hospital)

1 Month: 7 lbs 5 oz, 21 1/4 in

2 Months: 10 lbs, 22 1/2 in

He's growing so fast! 

This week I went back to work. It was hard to leave him, and I missed spending our days together, but I was happy to see these sweet faces again:

My other babies

And they were all so excited to see me! It feels good to know I was missed. I cannot believe how good they are doing. They're reading so well compared to the beginning of the year. The best thing about teaching 1st grade besides all the sweet lovins you get, is definitely the HUGE growth you can see. It is much easier to see the growth there than in 3rd.

Silly faces

To help me transition this week our family took turns watching Cade. It was nice having him in town with me and getting pictures of him all day long. I dread leaving him here in Greenwood next week, but really think we are going to love our babysitter. She seems like a great person and so sweet! 1 week away from my baby down, 15 to go!
