Update I Forgot

Wow! Three posts in 1 day!

I never did update on my sister's pregnancy. She lsot the baby right around the time Baby George was born. I am thinking this child was a blessing and a sign. Hopefully he/she has shown my sister that she needs to be responsible.

It is always sad to lose a baby. I hope that my sister receives this message.

Pictures! 1 month

Here are the pictures from George's 1 month photo shoot in December. Puppy!

He's sleeping in a cloud!



Possibly my favorite!






He is so sad and cute and pathetic and adorable when he cries!







Such a handsome boy!










Tough man!










Goofy Face















Giant feet. In these, he wore size 1. He now wears size 2 shoes. He NEVER could wear newborn.












Someone got sick!

Huddy got sick. He took a 3.5 hour nap on Tuesday. Then slept for 8.5 hours straight and then another 4 hours. Which is 2 hours more than usual. And he usually only naps for 2 hours.

Then yesterday morning, about an hour after eating, he was having floor time and we were giggling and goo'ing and all of a sudden he gagged, so I picked him up and he hurled all over me. Then I got us both cleaned up and he did it again.

He only took 3 15 minute naps and he threw up twice more so I called the doctor. They wanted me to watch his temperature. So 2 hours later I took it. 99.7! Poor Baby! So I got the okay to give him tylenol and thought he'd rest. Nope. He would cry/scream anytime he wasnt on my shoulder and being walked around. So I did that. For 2.5 hours. Walking around the house. He barely ate. Only 3 ounces, from a bottle, not the breast, every 2 hours. He usually eats a boob, every 1.5-2 hours and every 2 hours I can pump 5 ounces and I know my pump doesnt empty my breasts as well as he does, so I figure he gets 5-7 every 2 hours.

Then we did his bedtime routine. It made him happy too. He seemed to be feeling better and laughing while I lotioned him and squealing when I kissed him. He fell asleep quickly and I laid him down and made myself a tv dinner (I hadnt ate all day and just wanted to eat and go to sleep) while I talked/vented to my mom.

The moment I sat down, he woke up and screamed. So, I had to eat and walk around the house while holding a baby. Luckily, he had woke Daddy and Daddy took him. I laid down because my back and arms were killing me. Before I knew it, Daddy had put Huddy to bed! For the first time ever! It was an hour and half past his bedtime, but he went down and he slept like a champ. One 7 hour stretch and then one 2 hour stretch. He would have slept longer but a certain dog decided to rub against the crib to scratch herself. At 6 am. By then he was feeling fine but still drowsy.

Then we went to the doctor and he was totally fine by then. But he didn't get to go back to sleep until the car ride to the doctor around 830, so he came home and napped really well.

Today, he squealed and said "hiiiiiiiiiiiiii" to the doctor. She agrees he is adorable. Oh, and he now rolls over BOTH WAYS. Nine weeks old. Has rolled from back to belly at 7 weeks and belly to back as of Tuesday night. He has done back to belly 3 times and belly to back just the once. Our doctor said he is just gifted.

Hey!

Hey! Remember me?
Still here.
I tried uploading some pictures but Blogger is apparently having some issues today.



  • Bambino had his 2 month appointment yesterday.

  • He is 25 inches long (tall boy)

  • 11 lbs 7 oz

  • Still breast feeding.

  • We call him a Hippo because well, he is a Hungry Hungry Hippo.

  • He now squeals in delight once or twice each day. Even today and he has shots

  • He thinks Tylenol is disgusting and I must be crazy trying to give it to him. He has spit it out 4 times and only taken it successfully twice.

  • He got 3 shots yesterday and decided that NOTHING is worse than a shot and nothing makes it better. Boobies did not help at all. He cried until he fell asleep. Then he slept for 2 hours, even though he was in and out of the car several times. Then when we got home, he ate and passed back out. For the first 24 hors after his shots, he was awake a total (adding up all the time he was awake, or half awake, to nurse and get his diaper changed and get some medicine) of 5 hours. He was extremely tired. He also puked today. Which is considered a "mildly severe" reaction to one of his shots so if he does it again we have to head to the hospital. But that was 4 hours ago so I doubt it will be an issue again.

  • He puked whiel Facetiming (talking on the phone and able to view the other caller, aka skype for Daddy's iphone) his Grandma. I say she got him too excited.
    Seriously, we were also air drying his privates (he has a diaper rash in his folds so we are trying to let him wiggle around and move without a diaper for an hour a day) while he was on the phone with her and she kept showing him her dogs and talking to him (he already thinks the iphone is amazing to look at, but when a person talks TO HIM on it, he is amazed beyond wiggles) and telling him to pee on me, and then he squealed, looked at me, lifted his head, turned to his side and projectile vomited.

  • Have I mentioned he rolls over? And the doctor timed him. He held his head up for over 4 minutes before she declared him a champ. He rolls from back to belly anytime you lay him down to sleep on his back. He also holds himself up on his arms in the morning so he can look at me and shout "haaaaaaayyyyyyaaaaa" to let me know that this is NOT drill and he really does want up. He ALMOST rolls from belly to back. He got to his side and then came crashing down onto his belly and got REALLY mad.

  • He will follow my voice all over the room. Unless he is busy looking at his pink bug. His paternal Great-Grandma found a pink bug that hangs from his carseat and he has an addiction. It gets carried everywhere and will keep him distracted for long periods of time (I manage to get dressed, brush my teeth and sometimes wash my body all while he stares at this thing) no matter what his mood is.

  • He slept 8 hours the other night. 8.5 actually. But I woke up after 6 and panicked. So I laid in bed and watched him for 2 hours and had just fallen back to sleep when he woke up and asked for his paci. Which he request twice more before I finally got him up.

  • He goes to bed at 730 every night. I wish it were a bit later. Usually he sleeps until 1 or 2 am and then eats, gets his bottom changed and goes back to sleep until 5, eats, then goes back to bed until 8 and then he goes up to visit his Daddy who has gotten home from work and is ready to play. Sadly, after 30 minutes, Huddy declares that he wants more boob and more sleep and sleeps another hour.

  • I am thinking of a Curious George themed First Birthday party or an "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" Party. With all kinds of muffins instead of cake.

  • Yep, already planning it.

  • His Valentines Day themed 3 month pictures, his Easter themed 5 month pictures and his Summer Time themed 6 month pictures are also already planned.
    I breast feed...I have a lot of time to think.
    One last attempt at a picture. At least 1.

See that cute boy? I made that.
