January Happenings

  With January almost over I figured it would be a good time to update what Andrew has been up too, because he is a busy boy after all. 

We have passed out from a trip to the doctor

Really, we have just passed out a lot

We have had lots of cuddle time with Mommy (and sometimes Ella)

We have played with toys

We have chewed our hands

We made it through our very first cold, with special thanks to Moo Cow humidifier

I would say it's been a pretty good January so far!

3 months!

Andrew, you are three months old today!! 

Last week at the doctor, you were 10 lbs even and 22" long.  You feel so much bigger to me but I think it is because you have pretty much doubled your birth weight now.  

You are completely out of newborn clothing and are in 0-3 months. I have even put up a few 0-3 months outfits because you have outgrown them in length.  I think you are beginning that transition period where you are in between sizes.  

You are in size one diaper.

Last week you went through a major growth spurt, for 2 days solid you pretty much ate all.day.long.  You would be okay and then all of a sudden start screaming bloody murder and you wouldn't stop until you had food in your mouth.  I actually took you to the doctor because I was worried something else might be wrong but you are perfectly healthy!  I have increased your bottles to 5 oz and that seems to keep you pretty satisfied right now.

Sleep wise, you are still pretty much the same.  Usually waking up twice a night.  The week after Christmas you slept from 8-4:30 three nights in a row.  Must have been a fluke because it hasn't happened since!  Usually we get from 7:30 to around 2 so at least you are giving us a long stretch. 

You are such a happy baby!!  You still love being talked to and you will talk back now.  You are full of smiles most of the time!  I thought you would be quiet but I think you will be a talker.

You have discovered my hair and you constantly have a grab on it.  Most of the days, my hair is back in a pony tail because of this.  

You have also discovered your hands and they are always in your mouth.  Sometimes you try and fit both in at the same time.

You are the sweetest boy.  I swear I fall in love with you more every day.  One of my favorite things to do is hold you when you are napping and just cuddle with you.  I know you will be too big too soon so I'm enjoying it now!  I love you my sweet boy!

New Year's

Can I just start off by saying I feel a major sense of accomplishment by having my blog carry over to a new year?  I feel like it means something to have posts from 2012 and 2011.. even if I only started it with a month left of 2011.

Another first has come and gone as we celebrated Andrew's very first New Year, which we did at the beach so it was, of course, wonderful.  We left LATE Friday night and arrived at about 2 in the morning.  It was nice since Andrew slept the entire way but not so nice when he was ready to wake up at 6 the next morning.

We didn't do a whole lot of anything while we were down there, it was just nice to get away and do something different.  I can't wait until next time we are at the beach because Andrew will be at such a fun age and he will really get to experience the beach.

I don't really make New Year's resolutions but I am looking forward to starting back walking.  I used to walk every single day and I haven't in, oh, about a year.  I swear I probably stopped the day I found out I was pregnant.  Lately, Ella is lucky if she gets a trip around the block. For my sake, it is really hard to find the time/energy when you are sick for 8 whole months.  I guess I will say my resolution is just to enjoy Andrew and all the stages that he is going through.  I might be exhausted by the end of the day but I don't really see that coming to an end in the near future so might as well enjoy it all!

Here is to a great 2012!!
