Do I still have a blog?

It's been so long since I've posted that I didn't know if I still had a blog. I'm not sure I even remember what all has been going on to give you an update. So I'll start here...

- TODAY Brody turned 2 months old!!! Really, I have a two month old? (pictures to come later when he wakes up!)

- I went back to work last Monday and it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated once things got rolling and we adjusted to a new routine.

- We went to the pumpkin patch...see below

- We had a few playdates

- I started Bootcamp at the gym

- Brody moved to his own room and is doing great sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG without a fight!!

- We have introduced a VERY TINY amount of rice cereal in his last bottle but did without the past two nights because he was so sleepy

- He has learned to sit up in his Bebe Pod seat and LOVES IT!!!!

- Next week we have two month shots and his weigh in, so sad

- Saturday we are supposed to go to the AR vs Ole Miss game so we are praying for no rain since we are taking the little man, if it rains we will not go : (

Dr. Visits and Play Dates

Yesterday, Brody had his one month checkup with the doctor. He is up to 9lbs 6oz and 21.5 inches long. Way to go Brody!! I am always so proud to hear all his little measurements. Silly I'm sure but I just love the boy and all that he does.

Brody is growing and doing so great despite our forced switch in formulas. He had been on Similac and doing really well on it and then they had a recall. My parents called early Thursday morning but we were still asleep and I didn't think it would affect us so we stayed in bed. Got up, fed the baby just to find out that both our cans lot numbers were in the recall!! OOOPS!! A little extra protein never hurt anyone right? Since then, we have switch to Enfamil which hasn't always agreed with the little guy. I think is adjusting ok despite the terrible gas that has been hard on his tummy ,but we will be going back as soon as they get their bug situation cleared at Similac.

On the the fun stuff....Today my friend Christie brought her little girl Hannah Grace, who is almost 5 months over for what I like to call "baby playdate" They were so cute laying on the little mat together just content and looking around. We got to visit for a while and then headed to the park to meet up with Amy and her Hannah Grace. We walked around the trail and had some nice visits. It was so nice outside today until lap three or four and then it got a little warm with the long sleeves and sun. LOVED being outside with the baby though. I think Amy and I will being hitting the park often. Hopefully some of those laps will help get rid of the baby weight!

Speaking of baby weight, I am so excited for my 6 week appointment and to be able to go back to the gym this weekend. I had my membership put on hold when I got put on bed-rest and it will be re-attivated Friday. I am hoping that we will get back into the routine of going often like we did before the pregnancy.

Enjoy our pictures of Mr. Man!

One Month

It's so hard to believe that just one month ago, my life was blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Time has gone by way too fast and I just want it to slow down since I will be returning to work very soon. Things I've learned in the past month:

- multitasking is sometimes a must

- spit up does happen and I no longer care if it gets on me

- my world revolves around that precious little thing

- take advantage of time when the baby naps

- white noise app is a must for us when we haven't quite made it home for the bottle

- carry a camera at all times because you never know when you need to snap a picture of something cute

- I no longer care about shopping for me..it's all about the baby now

- time goes WAY TOO FAST and my little boy is growing and changing too much

I'm sure this list could go on and on but I'll stop there. I am so in love with our little family and my husband is THE BEST DAD EVER!!! He gets up for the middle of the night feeding/change every single night and does so much for us ALL the time. Brody and I are blessed beyond words to have such an amazing father/husband.
