1 Month!



Baby Boy hit 1 month this week! Hooray! Here are some of the milestones that have occurred since his birth.

Milestones:
  • As of 3 weeks, can lift his head and hold it there. He has a very strong neck.
  • Is focusing on things more with his eyes, particularly on his mommy's face when being fed and picture frames on the wall.
  • Is growing! He's gained about 3.5 lbs since his birth, which is good since he was at a low birth weight. The double chin he is sporting is quite dashing.
  • Has moved from preemie clothes up to newborn/ 0-3 month clothes.
Favorites Activities: 
  • Eating! All. The. Time.
  • Waving his hands around like he just don't care! (Seriously, don't swaddle this kid's arms or he will FREAK OUT. He really likes his hands by his face.)
  • Hanging out in his bouncer
  • The Great Outdoors. (Meaning taking walks around the neighborhood in his stroller.)
  • Grunting
Dislikes:
  • Getting his diaper changed.
  • The dark. (He always cries when the lights are turned off at night.)
And a Few Tidbits:
  • Favorite type of music - The Blues. He was fussy one night and we came downstairs where his daddy was jamming on the guitar to the blues and he calmed down and listened. He started crying again once daddy stopped.
  • Favorite place he has been to - Grandma's House
  • Least enjoyable place he has been to - The Doctor's Office
  • What he wants to be when he grows up - We are thinking something with night shifts, since he handles those well. Maybe something in the medical field or public service. He's good with people, since everyone loves him. But perhaps a career where you work with people in small doses, since he gets over stimulated easily.
  • Favorite People - Mommy for all the good meals she provides and the great company since we hang out all day and of course Daddy who is already the fun one and likes to reenact The Lion King with him, as seen below.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

8 Months!

Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
