Day 338

My little mister is three months old today!

 
- During the day, he still nurses about every two hours.
 
- Instead of getting better at night, his sleeping seems like its getting worse! On Friday, I cut out my late-night pump session so I could get more sleep. He wasn't waking up til anytime between 1:30-3:30am, I was waking up to pump around 11-12. But of course, two days after I cut it out, he started waking up around 11:30. Oh well. At least he's eating and growing! And I know one day, eventually, he'll sleep through the night.
 
- I also got him to latch onto my right side a couple of weeks ago- yay! The only time I pump now is right before I go to sleep. It's so nice to be (mostly) free of that thing. And now, we exclusively breast feed. He hasn't had a bottle in over two weeks. I have a bunch of frozen milk, so much that it's taking over our freezer and I had to send bags to both of our parents house for them to store.
 
- I can only get him to nap in his swing. Oops. :\ I put him in his crib but he just fusses and wiggles around. As soon as I put him in the swing with his blankie, he's out. Part of me knows it can become a problem, but the other part is just happy that he's napping. Playing it by ear with that whole thing.
 
- He's the sweetest, happiest little guy. We're so blessed. He gets a little clingy when there's a bunch of people around and it's loud, he'll only want Mommy, sometimes Daddy.
 
- He's SUCH a Momma's boy! Absolutely no complaints from me though. I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
- He's a morning person! He's pretty happy all day, but extra happy and smiley when he first wakes up. It's the best thing to wake up to.
 
He was being such an oinker today!
I had to change his clothes 3 times because he was over eating and spitting up.

Day 337

He finally fell asleep at 12:30.
Usually he's on his second nap by then!

Day 336

My big boy's getting too big to bathe in the bathroom sink! Wah. He's been in the big tub a couple of times, but tonight was the first night he actually enjoyed it! He was kicking around, going crazy with excitement.

:)

I have a really cute picture of Rian in her hoodie towel too:

Look at that baby girl.
So precious!

I also used to have one of Aiden, but before I could upload it to my computer, I accidently deleted everything from my camera. I was so bummed when that happened! Love a baby in a hoodie towel.

Day 334

Last night Steven took the kids over to his parents' house so they could spend time with Uncle Mike before he left. So tonight was the first night we brought out the Christmas jammies!

Can't believe tomorrow it'll be December!
 
The best time of the year.

Day 333

We decorated the tree this morning, I didn't get any pictures though. Boo. Actually I don't think I've ever taken pictures of it being decorated. Definitely a must for next year.

Two days ago, Steven found out he's finally started his new position at Discount! He's so excited! I'm really happy for him. But because of our hospital bill, we're unable to afford the insurance his new position offers, so he's staying at Fed Ex so we can keep our insurance. He'll be going straight from one job to the other, five days a week, instead of just one or two days like he does now.

Hopefully once our bill pile starts getting smaller, he can leave Fed Ex. The VP he talked to (they did a conference call) told him this was start of his "job" becoming a career. So exciting! :)

We made him cookies to celebrate.
(PS: if you don't have a cookie dough scoop, you NEED one! It was my first time using mine and I can't believe it waited so long to buy one!)

Day 332


Three, out of the four, things I'm most thankful for.
 
My life would be nothing without the craziness and love these littles give me.
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
