Weekend Done Right

Yes, it's Friday and I'm just now getting around to blogging about last weekend. I'm cutting myself some slack for various reasons, but mainly because at least I'm blogging. I know about 8 people read this, but I do love looking back and remembering things we did and how we spent our time. This past long weekend was a great one - we got a lot of things done around the house and had time left to relax and spend time together.

Little man is with his Mae Mae for the summer until he starts daycare in August. Our most favorite daycare picks lottery style next week, so we are anxiously awaiting to see if this little rushee gets a bid. In the meantime, it sure is nice to get pictures like this all day.

He's footloose and fancy free and doesn't seem to care one way or another. He does not get that from me.

Spaghetti with leftover sauce on Friday night. We are living large, I tell ya. It was followed up with slice and bake cookies and Barbara Walter's farewell special. Don't judge - it's the end of an era! I had to watch, since my love for Barbara began many a moon ago when she was on 20/20 post TGIF.

Wright spent Saturday morning laid back in his gym.

Dad decided to join him.

The fun ends with mom, but it's nice to have a cleaning buddy. I count this as an extra workout.

Saturday night we had a little in home date night with take out and cocktails on the patio. Adult conversation and we managed to (finally) get the birth announcements squared away.

Sunday we headed to the lake with the rest of the state. I have to agree, he's mighty cute. Wright loved watching the boats and floats. He did not love me taking his picture.

We stopped on the way home for a large Whataburger milkshake. Hey, it's a long weekend.

This weekend will be hard to top, but we will certainly try.

Wright 3 Months

Dear Wright,
Whoa! This look says it all. I can't believe you are 12 weeks already either little buddy! But seriously, these chair pics aren't my forte. We'll get better.

You are such a happy baby! If one could mail order a baby, I'm not sure we could have requested a better one. You are so content, and when you cry, it's always an easy fix.

You love to get out and see the world, and everyone always comments on your hair. You are so fun!

 

 

Weight: At your 2 month appointment you were 10.1. I think you are creeping around 11.

 Height: 22 inches at your 2 month. You've definitely grown since then! You are a long, skinny little thing, and I love it!

 Medical Issues: Not a one. You are healthy as a horse, with the hair to match.

Sleep: You are a champion sleeper. Since about 8-9 weeks, you've been sleeping from 8-6:30. Naps are usually about an hour. You almost always wake up 30 minutes in, to the minute, but the paci usually puts you right back to sleep. The pediatrician said not to expect a full night sleep and long naps, and you picked the right one. Excellent work.

Clothes/Diapers (Sizes). Most 3 months are still too big, so you are sporting the 0-3 and size 1 diapers.

Diet: You are an awesome eater. We really started the bottles this week since I started back to work (wahhh!), but you've done great transitioning back and forth.

Favorite Gear: We've moved from the miracle blanket to the woombie, and you've slept like a baby. Ha. We couldn't live without the video monitor, bibs and the Bob. It's the only way I get a run in most days!

Milestones/Firsts: You love to smile and you are getting so close to a laugh! You've gotten the rolling from front to back down, and even started doing it in your crib at night. You are also starting to mimic noises we make. It's quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

Likes: The ceiling fan. I think you like it better than me or your Dad. You love to be held and swaddled.

Dislikes: Diaper change. You hate a wet diaper and hate having it changed. Pick a side, buddy.

Things I Don't Want to Forget: You are the sweetest, happiest baby. I had no idea how much pride I would take in everything about you and how much I would enjoy being your mom. I love seeing that sweet smile when I wake up you from nap, and how you stretch when I unswaddle you. The best! We love you more than you can imagine!
