12 weeks

12 Weeks

Awwwwwwww. And this is my last week before heading back to work. We might be snuggling all week :) 

Weight:  12.4+ pounds

Sleep: Slept through the night 2x’s!!!!!!!!! He slept 7-10 hour nights all week. Whoohooo He has also started eating every 4-5 hours, what a big boy!

Clothes: 3 months Gap 3-6 are still too big.  

Visitors:  Aunt Laura and Uncle Dustin. He met the Spilman’s and Harris’ for the first time this weekend.  

Out and About: My mom and I took him shopping..real shopping. First hurdle was uh where is the elevator? After we found it (we were pretty proud of ourselves) he decided he wanted to be held (which makes shopping impossible) then he pooped. hahah but after all of that I put him in the stroller and kept moving at all times. 

Baby Gear Love:  
Sleep sacks if we could find some that fit. I love them because they keep him warm but he still manages to get them in his over his mouth.. which defeats the purpose. 

Triple Paste (I found this recommended on another blog genius) Jackson doesn’t have a diaper rash but he does have a little chapping (which just makes me feel terrible I change his diaper a million times a day but it doesn’t seem to help) this stuff works. I tried organic everything and it didn’t do anything. I tried some nonorganic stuff that didn’t help either so then we called in the big dogs. Totally worth the $$$

Crying:  He just started the if I can’t see you I will cry. And he was a little spoiled over the weekend so he wants to be held all the time. 

Milestones:  
He is grabbing blankets and putting them in his mouth. He started liking sofie the giraffe. He is now starting to fall asleep on his own! No rocking and most of the time no paci. It's making me think he might be ready to sleep in the crib... which I'm just not ready for yet. I'm thinking after Christmas is a good time to start the crib sleeping. 

Medical: I spoke to soon the reflux has gotten way worse so back on the meds. We’ll see if they actually do anything or not. The cradle cap is almost gone!! 

Postpartum: I should complain more often because I lost 2 pounds!! Seven more to go. I also bought some cheapy target jeans. It’s nice to have something I don’t have to be uncomfortable in that aren’t maternity jeans.
