4 Months

Hey everyone....I am just keeping you posted on my progress. Momma can't believe I am already 4 months old!!! Here are some things about me!!

* I can roll over from belly to back

* I love my baths

* I love to look at myself in the mirror (I just laugh and laugh)

* I like to be held where I can see everything

* I laugh out loud when momma or poppa kisses me on my neck (it really tickles)

* I hate the car seat!!!!

* I think my momma is the best thing ever.....I look at her and laugh...she is so funny!!!

* I can hold stuff...but I really don't reach for anything yet. I was born 6 weeks early....momma just tells me its going to take me a bit longer to do things.

* I have been sleeping in my crib for 2 nights now and have done a good job. I still wake up between 3 and 5 starving to death. I can't wait for her to feed me more!

* I love to play ugly monkey with my poppa. I just die laughing at that ugly thing.

I love being four months old!!!!

Visit from Nanny and Grandpa!!!

Momma tells me I have to wear orange socks so I don't get shot!!

Nanny and Grandpa came to vist us after being gone to Chicago for a couple months. I am so excited to see them. They haven't seen me since Christmas and I am doing a lot more since the last time they have seen me. They won't believe how big I am. Grandpa is really big into hunting and they brought me the cutest little camo overalls and some cute camo shoes. So here I am sporting my hunting look so Grandpa and Poppa will be proud!!!

Finally back to Church....

TAKE 2!!



Me and My Poppa



Me and Momma

Momma tells me I am going to Church today!!! I hope it's fun!

FINALLY, the day has come that we were able to get back into Church. We just felt like we should listen to the doctors when they told us to stay away from big crowds due to the flu going around. So we have for the most part. Flu season isn't exactly over, but he is 4 months old now and we have to start showing him off. He is too dang cute to keep stuck in a house. So we got ready and everything was going smoothly until......he decides to make a dirty, and I mean dirty diaper. So dirty we had to change outfits. So needless to say, he had on his Sunday best and then I just put on whatever because I didn't want to be late. I hate being late places. Jason and I were volunteering in the nursery that day, so I decided it would be a great day to start going again. He laughed and played so hard that by 11:30 when Church was over he went straight to sleep in the car and slept through lunch. Since then we have gone back one more time and I got brave and left him in the nursery. He must have been okay because they didn't kick him out. It feels great to get back into things that we enjoyed doing before he arrived.

15 weeks

Today you are 15 weeks. I can't believe how fast time flies. You are so funny and on the brink of busting out into laughter. I can't wait to hear that laughter. Right now when you get so excited you have the biggest smile and a "u" sound comes out along with raising your shoulders. Too cute!!! Last night may have been your first laugh but it doesn't count because it was in your sleep. For some reason you decided that it was play time at 3:00 in the morning. But I wasn't going to give in and feed you because I really don't think that was what you wanted. Since you have been sleeping til 7:00 a.m. the past 4 mornings. So I did give in and put you in bed with me. You snuggled right in and fell asleep. A couple minutes later you let out a laugh that woke me up. It was so incredibly cute!!! I laughed with you.

Since none of your medicine seems to be working, I decided today that I would take you off of everything and see what happened. Actually so far you have been in such a good mood, which I desperately needed. We have been having some rough days and its taking a toll on your momma, because I want only the best for you and for you to feel good. You sure have been able to take better naps today.

Valentine's Day

My momma loves me so much!!!

Look how good of a mood I am in when I get enough sleep!!!

Happy Valentine's Day Momma and Poppa!!!

Last night was the first night that you slept all the way through from 8:00 p.m until 7:00 a.m. Way to go!!! I thought it was going to be a great night's sleep for me; however, I woke up with a hurting back. We must need a new matress. I thought it was just me being pregnant that the bed was killing me and then when you came I was not in the bed long enough to see if the bed was hurting my back. Now that I am not pregnant and you sleep all night, I now know that it must be the bed!!!! You have done this 2 nights in a row. I am hoping it continues!!!! It's so nice to get sleep and wake up feeling all nice and rested!!! I know I have to be a much better momma getting more rest!!

Yesterday we also went to Nana's and Papa's for a little Valentine's Fun!! We ate a delicious lunch prepared by Nana (which wasn't feeling well at all, poor thing). Then we had all kinds of snacks....yummo!!!

First night in Crib - February 6th

Look momma I survived!!!



Hey Breckie,

Last night was the first night you have slept in your big boy bed all night. You did get up for feedings but it was great. You were such a big boy. However, it only lasted 2 nights. Something happened and you decided to get so congested that everytime you lay down, you start getting so much drainage that you can't breathe and you begin choking and gagging. So needless to say, you are now back in momma and poppa's room. It has been so much better now that you are sleeping on the nap nanny that is in your bassinette. So hopefully before long you can go back to your crib as soon as we figure out what is wrong with you.

Love,
Momma

14 weeks

Breck is getting to be a little chunker....I know he weighs 13 lbs because once again I decided to take him to the doctor. Some may think I am one of those overprotected paronoid moms, but eventually someone will believe me when I tell them something is wrong. The poor little guy cannot even lay down hardly anymore without getting totally congested. Which then causes him to choke and gag on all that drainage. I don't know what to do for him. I have tried everything and the doctor just keeps telling me its acid reflux. I to the poiont where I don't believe that and that he may have some severe allergies. But what to???? That's what we need to figure out. He is better during the day but still does it. You should see his crib and how elevated it is. But right now he is at least taking a nap in there and hasn't choked once. So maybe this will work. I am not going to leave him at night in there anymore until all this is figured out. I have been so stressed and worried about him this week, its not funny. It is really making me an emotional wreck. Hopefully this will pass very soon.



On a more happy note, this kid is so cute!!! I love when he gets so excited.....he smiles with his whole body. He is getting so good at laying on his belly and holding that head up and then rolling over. At least he is not fussing when he is on his belly now. He is really starting to like his bath now. We have gotten out some toys for him to look at and just smiles and smiles while we are giving him his bath. I really hope he is a water baby, because I can't wait until summer to use Nanny's pool!!! This Sunday is Valentine's Day. Saturday we are going to Nana's for some lunch and treats. More to post on that later. Also Saturday we are getting Breck's 3 month pictures taken. I can't wait. I really hope he smiles as good as he did when we got Wylee and Breck's pictures taken together on Tuesday. Kaylee and I decided to get the boys' pictures taken for mom for Valentine's Day. They turned out really cute and I think she will really love them.
