Four Months Old

Happy 4 months Diego! He is growing and changing each day! He rolled over for the first time on June 19th, from his back to his tummy...and I must say he is quite proud of himself! Each time he does it, he smiles when he gets to his tummy. The only trouble is if he gets on to his tummy too soon after eating, he spits up a little...but oh well, a little spit up never hurt anyone! He's enjoying the water in the bath a lot these days and soon we'll have to move the tub to the big tub instead of over the sink, he's growing so fast!



I set up a little photo shoot in the living room for him, and the bottom 3 pics are my faves. I only took a few, but they turned out pretty cute I must say!

Crib Update

So, luckily my husband is a total news junkie, otherwise we wouldn't have known our crib has been recalled due to a safety hazard. So, my hard work of putting him to sleep in his crib will have to wait. I know the crib probably won't break down or anything since I've used it and its fine, but now that I know I'm just not willing to risk it. We'll have to start again once we get the new crib. Not sure how long that will take either. I can't help but breathe a little sigh of relief, I don't think Momma was ready for this any way, so this justifies it a little longer. I just hope this doesn't cause us grief later when we do get the new crib, but I won't worry about that right now.

Asleep in his crib...

Tonight, for the first time, I put Diego to bed in his crib. He takes naps in there regularly, but tonight is the first time I've tried putting him there at bedtime. I'm sitting in bed wishing he would wake up so I could bring him back into our bedroom to sleep in the bassinet. The hardest part is I know he will sleep much better in his own room without our interruptions. I have so many things going through my mind right now. I am petrified of SIDS, worried the baby monitor won't be loud enough for me to hear him (even though his door is literally 10 feet from ours).... I have been thinking about at least trying this for a while now, mainly because his bassinet recommends he only sleep there until he's 18 pounds and I'm pretty sure he's close, and because at some point he needs to be in his own room...I guess. I would be perfectly happy with him sleeping in our bedroom forever (I think), but Eddie doesn't agree. We'll see how tonight goes...I may end up sleeping on the floor in his room.

Give Peas a Chance

We found this cute t-shirt for Diego at Old Navy and I had to post these fun pictures I took of him with it on! I need to buy it in a bigger size so when we do actually try peas, he can wear it. :)

A Date with my Husband

Tonight, Eddie and I had our first date since Diego arrived. My Sister has been dying to babysit, and we finally let her tonight. Just having the chance to spend a little time together was wonderful! I bought a fun new outfit and Eddie even wore slacks and a polo...if you know Eddie you know he prefers warm up pants and a t-shirt! We went to dinner at the Best Little Roadhouse and really enjoyed the company of one another. We were only gone 2 hours, but it was a wonderful night out together! Maybe next time we'll hit a movie, too!

3 Months Old

Diego is 3 months old today~! Time sure flies when you're having fun. He is growing like crazy...already over 14 pounds and over 2 feet tall. He's about to move to size 2 diapers and fitting really well into his 3-6 month clothes, and has been for a few weeks now. He is holding his head up really well and is very interested in toys, although Mommy is still his favorite "toy" to interact with. If this never changed, I would be ok with that. :) He is enjoying bath time a lot more and is just starting to kick his feet in the water, making sure to soak Mommy's shirt every time! He also really loves his baby bjorn and would be content and happy to wander around with me all day every day...except for when I'm putting clothes from the washer into the dryer, he doesn't like that for some reason. He takes 3 or 4 naps a day and sleeps pretty well most nights. I want him in his bassinet next to our bed as long as possible, and the manufacturers recommendation says he can be in it until he's 18 pounds, so that's probably where he'll stay until then! Each morning when he wakes up for the day, he is all smiles. Mommy and Daddy sometimes take a while to get out of bed, but Diego doesn't mind, he is just happy to have one of us hold him and talk to him, he doesn't care if we don't actually get out of bed right away. He is "talking" a lot more and making new sounds every day. One day I even heard a "Da" and I, of course, immediately encouraged "Ma." We had a wonderful, relaxing mother's day. Eddie and Diego gave me a Willow Tree statue of a Momma and her son...very precious. My Mom gave me a beautiful hanging basket of flowers and Diego enjoys going with me each day to water it. He grabs at the flowers and makes cute little sounds and noises. He is also laughing now! It is pure joy to hear him laugh, usually just one of us laughing will make him squeel and laugh with joy! He is really enjoying sniffs and kisses (on the toes only for now) from our Dog Chloe, who he loves to just watch as she trots about the house.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Eddie's Birthday was Tuesday, but as usual I'm a little late posting about it! Happy Birthday Honey, I can't believe you're already 31!! We LOVE YOU!

In Honor of Daddy's Birthday, Diego wore his "I love Daddy" t-shirt...

Diego took a bath, which he is starting to enjoy a little more...BUT what you can't see here is about 5 seconds after I took this photo he started screaming! I was still using the little hammock that comes in the bathtubs for him, thinking he was still a little too small to use the tub without it...I was wrong! I looked at the instruction book for the tub and realized you are only supposed to us the hammock for babies up to 10 pounds, and the ONLY is in bold...Diego is 13 1/2 pounds....oops! I tried the next bath without the hammock, but we had the same ordeal....happy for a few minutes then all out freak out!

Perfect end to the day, an evening nap with Daddy!
