I HATE ROAD TRIPS.

We took both boys to visit grandparents this weekend.  It started with Cass screaming a good portion of the way there and it ended with Cole puking and Cass screaming a good portion of the way home.

But how sweet is this?



This picture makes me laugh.  We told Cole to put his arm around Cass and this is what he did.

Embarrassment of Riches








Seriously, could I be more blessed?
I might not have millions of dollars, but my family is worth so much more.

Thanking God,

Baby Wrap


I made a baby wrap!  At Cass' age, he isn't supposed to have his feet dangling out of it, but he's so long and my torso is so short, I don't think we have an option.  He seemed to like it!  WHOO HOO!!

Oh, and we tried the Exersaucer for the first time.  He was okay with it, too, but I think he's still a little young for it.

Wordless Wednesday









Cass is 2 Months

I have a 2 year old and 2 month old!
Let's see, I haven't posted since Cass was 1 month old.  It's kinda hard to find time when you aren't at work and don't have any free time whatsoever.  Cole was staying up until 930 or 10 every night and Cass was up until 1130 every night so I literally had no free time to do anything.  Hopefully by month 3 Cass will be sleeping through the night, and going to be earlier, so we'll see.  Besides that, we weren't doing anything so I didn't have much to say!!

-Cass can roll over from his belly to his back in both directions.
-He goes to doctor tomorrow so I don't know his weight and length yet, but I don't think he's quite as big as Cole was at this age, but he is BIG!
-He still LOVES to eat and is eating around 4-5 oz every 2-3 hours except at night. 
-He's been sleeping from around 1130-400 and then eats and goes back to sleep till around 630 or 700.  Before I started back to work this past Monday, I would put him in the bed with me at that point and we would go back to sleep till around 830 or so.  Now that I'm working I miss that extra sleep!  Last night he went to sleep at 930 and slept till 4, ate and then slept till around 645 when we had to get ready and leave for daycare.  At 3 months Cole was sleeping from 830-630 so I'm hoping Cass will do something similiar soon!
-He smiles a lot!  He loves to be talked to.
-He loves his big brother and his big brother loves him.  In fact, this morning Cole didn't want to leave Baby Cass in the baby room at daycare. :(
-He still gets super mad in his car seat.  He HATES it!
-He's starting not to care for baths.  Up until a week ago he was okay until he got out and got cold.  Now he kinda fusses/cries while he's in the tub.

He's growing up so fast I can hardly believe it!!

Edited to add:
At his doctor's appointment today, Cass weighed 13 pounds, 13 ounces and was 25.5 inches long.

Cass is a month old today!   Here are some highlights of the previous month.
-We started Cass on Nutramigen and Zantac because he screamed for 2 days straight.  Ever since then, my life has been a lot better.
-He eats all the time, just like Cole did at this age.  At least 4 oz every 2.5 hrs or so, sometimes 2 hours. Sometimes I have to make him 2 more oz in an hour.  It's nuts.  His little belly isn't so little anymore.
-At 2 weeks he weighed 8 lb 13 oz.
-At 3 weeks he weighed 9 lb 12 oz. 
-His belly button wasn't healing right so we had to go back tot he doctor to have them put silver nitrate on it.  The doctor said his belly button was so deep air couldn't get to it, so it wouldn't heal.  She said the silver nitrate would stain his belly button for a few months possibly. About a week after they treated it, a huge brown mark showed up underneath his belly button.  I thought it was a birthmark but it showed up in a matter of hours so I was like, no way.  It was a stain from the silver nitrate.  Crazy.
-Getting 2 kids in and out of the car by yourself is a chore.
-Cole is such a good big brother.
-Cass' sleeping stinks at this point.  We really want to figure out how to get him not to be wide awake in the middle of the night for hours at a time.  It sucks.
-I swear Cass smiled at me at 3 am the other morning.
-Cass poops all the time.  He has trouble pooping so he will stay awake for an hour straining and grunting and finally get it out.  You change him and then 5 minutes later, he poops again.
-I have let Cass sleep in the bed with us some only because I get so desperate for sleep.

Colic

I hate colic and colic hates me.

No end in sight.
