6 Month checkup

My sweet boy is six months old and today was our well baby checkup. Turns out he is not a well-baby! He has an ear infection. Who knew? Not me! My baby goes to bed okay, wakes up happy, doesn't fuss unless tired or hungry, plays well... he is just a very happy baby. So when she told me that he had an ear infection I found that very hard to believe. He had a cold two weeks ago but I thought that everything had gone away, the cold had gone but left us with a lovely ear infection. After learning about this not so great ear infection, unfortunately i had to leave him with my parents to go to Atlanta. He is in good hands though.

6 Months and.....
17lbs and 9oz
28 inches long
eating rice cereal/oatmeal/apples/bananas/pears/peas/sweet potatoes/squash/peaches and blueberries
sleeping 8:30pm until 7 or 7:30am
two naps a day and a little cat nap
loves to play in his pack n play/on floor mat/in exersaucer
loves to be read to
bubble bath time while sucking on a wash cloth is a great way to end his day
laughs/coos/smiles all the time
is currently trying to sit up but has yet to master it
rolling, rolling, rolling


I believe that we will be getting a new car seat very soon considering at 30 inches he will have outgrown his carrier. This means no more naps in a restaurant! Soon he will be sitting with out falling over and then I know one day crawling. Oh where does the time go! I still remember bringing him home.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
