Oh the things we've done!

It's been a little while since I've updated the blog....going back to work has made it hard but I am determined to keep the blog alive. Sooooo....Davis is three and half months old! He is getting so big and learning new things everyday!

Likes for this month: Grabbing everything! A ball with holes in it, a small rattle, his gym, himself of course, splashing in the tub, STANDING!!!!, Baby Neptune video....specifically the crab the walks across the screen, smiling a lot, eating a lot, being naked, and what Steve has affectionately named his 'woobie' or blanket!

Dislikes for this month: Sitting, CARSEAT, being hot, loud laughing (like the kind heard at bunco! haha), dirty diapers, and being hungry!

We took our first long road trip for Memorial Day Weekend and he did surprisingly well. Leaving for Gam and Papa's was quite a production. I have never packed so much stuff in my life! What made it harder was that Steve didn't go...he left for Las Vegas for John Ross' bachelor party. Needless to say we filled the suburban with everything Davis could possibly ever need. On the way there we stopped twice for a change and once for bathroom for me! He did well on the way back. He napped for the first 2 hours and then we stopped for lunch and then hit the road. Meanwhile, he was happy watching his movie. Although the trip went well....very few major meltdowns, I believe traveling with him is exhausting! I'm glad that I have today to recover! My parents are coming over today to see Davis and then we are all headed over to Steve's parents' house for BBQ. Lisa bought Davis a little pool and we may try it out.....I'll update how that goes!

What a difference,,,,

As I was going through pictures I found this one and it was amazing to see how our little man has changed in just a few short weeks. Daddy on the other hand hasn't changed a bit....still tired!


Davis and Daddy at 8 days!

Davis and Daddy at 11 weeks!

Happy Mother's Day

I thought this was funny....I love spending Mother's Day with my two favorite boys! They took me to eat breakfast at The Egg and I after they lounged in bed!

Christening

We had Davis Christened at church on Sunday. Davis wore this pretty/handsome Christening dress and look adorable. I was nervous that he was going to have a meltdown during the service but he did really well. In fact, Jim joked with the congregation that he was the quietest baby he had ever met! He got a little fussy after the service while we were taking pictures. I think he had enough of the dress and just wanted to play!

Bumbo Time

We are working on the bumbo and his bouncy gym these days. We think he might like looking at the world from a different angle! :)

We HEART Bath Time!

Bath time is about the only time that Davis' hair lays down! Since he loves being naked he LOVES bath time! He is getting a little bit too big for the sling that attaches to the tub but when we take it off he floats like a watermelon!

Doing a little splish splash with his feet!

Back to Work-

I just finished my second week back to work. Boy do I miss Davis! The first day was most definitely the hardest. I just told everyone at work to not ask me about it or I would cry. Every day gets a little bit easier. I think that Davis knew that I needed a break and gave me the best back to work present ever...he slept through the night the Sunday before I went back! WOW! Getting a full nights sleep sure does make a world of difference. He seems to be getting into a routine now. He crashes about 8:30 and sleeps until 5....eats and then goes back to sleep until 7ish. This works out well because "The Chief" gets here about 6:45 and Davis is just waking up. I hate the days when he is still sleeping when I leave...it really feels like I don't get to see him. He is having a ball with the Chief. They go for walks and have lots of important conversations about how to solve the world's problems....and they take trips to the "board store" or Home Depot.
Davis is eating 6 oz now and putting those diapers to the test. He weighs about 12 pounds and some change and still in size 1 diapers. He is very long and fits in most 6 months size cloths. He still loves to be naked and loves to take baths. Davis is smiling a lot these days....and at actual people not at himself in the mirror or at the fan! He is so happy and loves for people to hold him. I can't wait for the summer!
