1 Month Old


Well. My bebe is one month old. *sigh* It feels like forever and yet a blink of an eye all at the same time. More so a blink of an eye. Seems like yesterday we took him home from the hospital. Glad to say that we seem to have passed the first month with flying colours.... or he's still alive at least.

Milestones this month include (in no particular order) first everything haha, being born, rolling over front to back (D saw I swear it wasn't a fluke), getting snipped, breaking the 10 lb mark, first smile, taking a bottle, being babysat and of course being the best and cutest little boy day in and day out. He can also now focus on whoever is in front of him and follow them with his eyes. He "passed" his hearing test too whatever that means.

He definitely doesn't like being hungry, pretty much the only time he cries is when he wakes up and wants food NOW. Doesn't like mom to eat dairy or chocolate (jerk). Not a huge fan of being burped and would rather swallow his own vomit then spit it out-unless its on me or clean clothes. 

He likes (LOOOOOOVES) his daddy and is pretty much happiest when chilling out with dad. He likes his swing and baths and walks and eating. All. The. Time. I am lucky to go three hours without feeding. usually every hour and a half to two hours. No wonder he weighs so much. He LOVES gripe water too. He likes his massages and sitting facing you or the outside world so he can see whats up. 

to be continued.... someones hungry!

May Resolutions

I. Will. Blog. Thats all.


So. I started this so bebe spike would have a good record to look back on and I have been terriblllllle!

However, a few side notes first.

1) My bebe got circumcised last Friday. On that day he also took his forst bottle (of bm) like a champ AND outgrew his first onesie. Needless to say there were quite a few tears shed and D thought I was crazy.

2) Last saturday I went out for the first time and left Spike with his grandma. Again, tears (although I held them in so I didn't mess up my makeup) and again, D thought I was crazy. I got to taste redbull for the first time in over 9 months (and vodka). I made it over 4 hours before I had to rush home to get him because I missed him (and my boobs were going to explode)

3) I love being a mom. I knew that this was what I wanted but I didn't realize just how much it would make me happy and content day to day. And although we have a fantastic bebe I love sleep. And alone time. And long showers. I never thought I would be so happy never getting more then 3 hours (maximum, usually more like two) at a time, never being alone and defintely not getting enough time to shower often enough.
