These Updates Are Getting Few And Far Between

I seem to only update when something happens, and mostly our days are filled with nothing happening.. Therefore nothing to report. we have a routine down and we stick to it. It’s going to get a lot worse in the next few weeks in regards to finding time to update… because family is coming to visit!! We kick it off with Hubs sister coming to visit in a week, quickly followed by MY sister (eeeeeeeee!!) then a week of rest and my mom comes out until the end of October! Agggh I am so excited to share my little man with everyone. And by that point he will be eating FOOD! We got out the babybullet last night to look at it and I think I plan on doing purees in the beginning… then mix in some puree and let him have some chunks separately. 

 

I am so excited to feed him! I know it will quickly wear off…. But for now I am eagerly anticipating the faces and experience.  And to be able to stop pumping. He will be eating what I have, and food, and if that isn't enough... some of the dreaded F word.. formula! Ive been pumping out about 9/10 oz a morning and he gets it all throughout the day after meals and I have been noticing his chunking back up. Thank goodness my poor hungry man! I am not over feeding him.. just getting him back to the percentile he was born in..50th, and out of what he shrunk to, the 25th.

We also got tickets to go to my parent’s home for Christmas! The first time in three years I will be there for Xmas and it’s BabyA’s first one! It’s going to be really strange without my brother… but at least it was already going to be strange because I was bringing one outsider (Hubs) and one half outsider (BabyA). But that is all 6 months away…I am already dreaded the flight with a baby.. 9hr travel time in total. esh. It will be the first time Grandpa Duncan will meet him... one month from his 1st birthday!

I dressed BabyA in big boy clothes one day last week (minus the shirt slogan). Cords, shoes, and a shirt, not onsie. He looked so big!! though shirts on babies are a pain. All he did alday was stuff that made the shirt ride up and expose his potbelly. 

What else what else…. We hit up Chick fil a twice last week, once was FREE CHICKEN if you dressed like a cow. So we did. Even the baby got a free meal… which we ate. Though once we were sitting he grabbed a construction paper spot and started to chew on it, unbeknownst to us. When we finally looked down his face, onsie, and hands were black. Aaaaaaaand there goes that white onsie. 

We introduced bubbles to his bath and he went crazy. He tried his hardest to eat them. And then tried to eat them at the source, by sticking his face in them and the water. I kept pulling him back but not before I got to hear him make the cutest nose bubble sounds in the water. It didn't even phase him... putting him face in the water.

Sleeping is going great (for him, I pump at 4am) except for a regression last night. I blame Hubs. He was in charge of bedtime. I told him to explain to BabyA what we wanted from him over the night, because I know he knows what we want... and whatever Hubs said translated to "its ok to cry at 5am for a binky." I think I will do tonight's talk. 

I just go through my pictures to update… and talk about the ones I see. “oh yeah, that happened.” That’s why its a random collection of disjointed blurbs.
