4 Months

My son had his second round of immunizations today. So far so good. He doesn't seem to have a fever yet. I hope he doesn't get one like last time. He took a very long nap and seems to feel okay. I can't believe he is 4 months old already. He sucks the thumb on his right had a lot and is definitely teething. The doctor said two of his bottom teeth were going to come through soon. He is going to start eating rice cereal too. I think we'll try this weekend.

He rolls over from his back now to his belly but still has trouble getting from his belly to his back. He does pretty well on his belly and props himself up and looks around. He has outgrown two sets of PJs now and is in size 2 diapers. I found a newborn diaper the other day and thought it looked so small compared to what he uses now. His eyes are still blue and I hope they stay that way but I'm sure they will probably turn hazel.

I get a kick out of watching him stare at his hands and feet. He looks like he is on drugs being amazed by everything. It's really cute how intently he looks at them.

We are apartment hunting now too. We need the extra space. Anyone who knows NYC prices knows what we are up against. I never thought I would pay this much for rent. We are considering just moving to a bigger one in our apartment. That way we'd have an extra 1/2 bath and a whole room for the baby. I think I might miss him sleeping so close to me.

Things are changing so much right now that I am starting to think that another baby would good. Then I remember labor and the first two months and decide that its not a good idea, yet = )

14 Weeks

As you can see I've been busy since I've been back at work. I haven't had time to write here (especially since this site is now blocked at work). Being back at work has actually been great. I feel like me again. I miss my son during the day and I am excited to pick him up but I also enjoy having time to myself. I don't even feel guilty about this.

The past few weeks have been a great development time for him. The past two nights HE HAS SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. Yes, you read that right. Can you believe it? We are all so much happier due to this. Of course I still wake up at the normal feeding time but at least I'm not getting up to feed him. Sometimes when I feeding him he holds the bottle on his own too. It isn't at the point of being able to it all the time but it was cute to see. He also rolled over again on his own from back to belly. He still doesn't do this all the time but he tries.

He gives the best smile in the morning when he wakes up. Sometimes he gets startled to see you there then a big smile comes up because he is so happy to see you. No matter how bad your night might have been that one smile makes it better. He doesn't this other cute thing too where he opens his mouth when anything approaches him. If I go to kiss him, stroke his cheek, whatever, he opens his mouth. For some reason this cracks me up. He even likes bath time.

I feel like such a different person lately. It feels like things are finally clicking. I love my son so much. He is so funny, sweet and cute. *Sigh* = )
