He's Getting So Big

And he's starting to look like a little man. I look at him and see Kevin so much. A lot of people say he's really starting to look like me though. I don't see it much, I see Kevin!

Nate has really changed so much since we brought him home. He is generally not very fussy, occasionally sleeping through the night, eating a ton and growing like a weed.

His 2 month appointment is on Friday so it will be interesting to see how big he is. I weighed him 2 weeks ago and he was 12 pounds 4 ounces. Up from his 8 pound 11 ounce birth weight. He's definitely grown in inches too. He was 22.5 inches at his 10 day old doctor visit so my guess is he's somewhere around 13.5 pounds and 24.5 inches. We'll see if I'm right.

We've had to move him up to 3-6 month clothing for the most part. He's again in between it seems so he's either stuffed in them like a sausage or swimming in them (sounds familiar, I'm going through the same thing :-(    ) Oh well, soon he can be naked since it seems to be getting warmer and staying warmer (finally!) which by the way he LOVES!

He's starting to love bath time and no longer crying during it. He's a wiggler though so I'm still a little nervous to give him a bath by myself although I have done it once now very successfully.

He's also very alert. He focuses and sees a lot of things and is continuously wanting to see more. I just picked up a new chair and toy bar for him that he already loves. This chair is really cool. Also, it will strengthen his legs so he can be a power forward like his Grandpa is hoping for :) The toy bar I got is universal and will fit onto his Rock and Play, Stroller, or really anything I want it to fit on!

We have a very happy baby in general. He's always smiling and cooing.

Here are some pictures of our little guy. Enjoy!








Back In Action

So again I've been slacking keeping up with this blog but I have been super busy! I know that's everyone's excuse but mine is legit. I swear.

I went back to work at 4 weeks postpartum and it's been very hectic since. As I've mentioned before, N gets to come along with me. If that weren't the case, I don't know I would ever go back. I give the people that do a lot of credit.

Since going back to work, I work 45 hours a week nannying and I teach 4 days a week at the studios. Before it was no biggie but I have to say, all together, it's really tough. Not because while I'm at dance I can't be away from N, it's the fact that I'm not with my family all at once.

Anyways, I've been back at it for 4 weeks and things are getting easier. I've been managing my mornings and evenings home to make it all easier on the evenings I won't be home. We also have been using some of the frozen meals we prepared ahead of time! Soon enough I will be off for the summer and bored out of my mind :)
