Yay, daddy is home!! Andrew had TWO trade shows this month, along with a few other work meetings on top of his normal, super busy work schedule. We missed having him around.. I know we only have one baby, but being alone is the worst. I get nervous when Andrew is gone & lock me and Colten in our bedroom at night so no one can kill us. I'm a little crazy, I know...
Colty and I go to the park at least 3 days a week while babysitting.. sometimes we go five days!! It's 100 times easier to watch 2 children for a long period of time if we get out of the house and hit up the playground. We have 2 really nice playgrounds within a half a mile of our house, so we're really lucky. Colten actually enjoys the swing now which is cute!
We finally got most of our place painted, and it's 90% decorated. We haven't painted Colten's room yet, but we did get his crib put together. This was his first (and last) night in the crib. Ha! He sleeps in a nap nanny & loves it, so for now I'm sticking to that. He still sleeps terribly at night for a 4 month old. A great night is when he only wakes up twice.. it never gets better than that. Sometimes, he's still up 5 times. He wants to eat, and I am not all about that. So, last night we tried rice cereal for the first time. He loved that stuff and was really good at swallowing it, but he had an absolutely terrible nights sleep. Praying tonight is better!
Yes, he is on the counter in a bumbo seat.. don't judge :P I didn't leave his side, so he was safe!
Aside from the last 3 days (he got his immunizations on thursday) and from the 4 days after I ate an entire container of Ben & Jerry's (C has a milk allergy/sensitivity.. I don't eat any dairy.. other than that blessed day), Colten is such a joy. He laughs and laughs and laughs all the time. We love every bit of our 17 lb boy :)
PS- I STILL WANT ANOTHER BABY. (pretty please, babe???)
PPS- Can you believe I actually went to the beach at 41 weeks?!?! I was a massive whale!!! Hahaha!
