This little sweetie here
Has become this sweetie here
On Monday my 12 weeks of maternity leave are over and my days will no longer be spent loving on this little guy! To say I'm sad is an understatement! I'm seriously depressed to have to leave him. I realize people leave their babies everyday but that doesn't really make me feel better about it!
The good news is when I return to work I will have lots of kiddos to love on. Don't get me wrong I have missed my kids and sweet co-workers but I sure could use another 3 months. A three day week would be nice too!
Moving on from my state of depression I must pause for a minute to wipe my tears!
Now that Barrett is approaching the three month mark I decided to blog about some milestones before I forget!
Let's start with things he loves!
- Bath Time!
- He is some kind of serious about his whale tub
- He kicks, splashes, and tries to get his duck with his feet
- Loves his lights that go on the side of the tub and his whale that swims around and sprays water
- I love that it makes his little gassy tummy feel better!
- Eating
- Little man loves to eat and has started holding his bottle some
- He currently takes about 2-3 ounces every two to fours hours
- Sonny
- Barrett loves Sonny when he comes in he stares at him and coos at him! He finds him very fascinating.
- Story Time
- He loves loves loves being read to
- We usually read him several stories a night
- Floor play
- He will play on his back and reach for his toys on his activity mat (He just started hitting them on 12/30/12)
- He also likes tummy time!
- TV
- Well, I'm not necessarily thrilled about this one but this week he has noticed when the television is on and cues in to it. It is pretty funny to watch his face.
- He watched an episode of the Flintstones with his grandmother and his papa(I must admit it was sweet)
- Playing Peek-a-boo
- I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen him playing with mom. She would cover her face and say "Peek-a-boo" then he would cover his eyes with his arm every time! Too Cute!
- Sticking his fist in his mouth! He loves to suck on his fist! He also has become VERY drolly in the last few weeks! We never needed bibs before but we sail through 3-4 a day with this drool monster
- Music
- Loves it! If he is screaming play Snow by RHCP or George Strait and you have a quiet baby
- Sitting up
- 90% of the time he wants to be sitting upright and looking around
- He has been independently holding his head up for about two months now and is a very curious little one
- Dogs
- He has noticed Toby and Allie and finds them very intriguing
Now the things he doesn't love so much
- Getting out of the tub
- He must be freezing because he screams until he is wearing clothes again
- Coughing
- He startles when Sonny coughs it even wakes him up sometimes
- Having a wet diaper not that I blame him
- When he is gassy and his tummy is rock hard
- It's really the saddest thing
- Being put down
- No really he wants to be held always! Always!
- Doesn't like a swing, papason, crib, or boppy for more then about 20 minutes usually
- The only thing he likes is a Bumbo but I don't feel comfortable putting him in it for more then a few minutes because his trunk control isn't there yet. I always sit with him when he is in it so that doesn't help get things done!!
- That's okay though I know he wont want to be help forever so I just love him up!
- It's also pretty skillful the things I can do with one arm!
- Getting woke up
- He is so like me and wakes up so slow!
- Opens and closes his eyes a million times and stretches his arms!
- He usually wakes up happy when he gets his nap in!
- If he gets woke up he is ill until you soothe him back to sleep
On a side note! Mostly so I remember he is wearing Newborn diapers (I swear every case we buy will be the last!) Newborn clothes but were starting to work our way into some 0-3 Months! Socks are a disaster if they are slim enough the heel comes to the middle of his foot! haha
Hope you enjoyed the latest on this handsome little sweetie!
We are only slightly obsessed with him!! But isn't that the point!!!!
