15 weeks

Go Jags!

15 Weeks

Weight:  I think 15 pounds.

Sleep: He’s still sleeping through the night! He is getting better with taking naps in the crib. He usually sleeps 45 minutes before waking up. But now he has a cold sooooo I put him back in the swing. I can’t sleep flat when I’m sick and I won’t torture him with it! 

Clothes: 3 months moving to 6 months...ek! 

Visitors:  None 

Out and About: We went Christmas shopping just the two of us.. I found the elevator :) hahah and he did great, he was smiling and happy the whole time. We went to Total Wine and he was “hooooing” and “whooping" the whole time which I think is like the cutest thing in the world. The cashier asked is he “hooing?” I replied, “Yep!” hahhah 

Baby Gear Love:  

Summer Monitor freaking LOVE IT! Obviously we are “crib training” and so we finally put up the monitor..more like plugged it in since he isn’t really going anywhere we didn’t think we should attach it to the wall... more like Jamie didn’t want to attach it to the wall but anyways I love that I can see what he is doing. Is he crying or just making noise? Did the paci fall out? Plus I’m obsessed with him and he has been by my side for 3 1/2 months and I’m having trouble NOT being with him. If I would have told myself this at week one I would have laughed but I regress. So the monitor is a video monitor (obviously) and you can hear what he’s doing- it has this little light system where if he’s really loud it turns red. I think the lights are helpful for mostly quiet babies because his is almost always red and he’s just making noise in there... I can carry the video part around everywhere I go and the battery lasts a good amount of time. We got the one in black and white but I think color would be nice. You def. don’t NEED color but it would be easier to see what’s going on in color.

Crying:  Only if he’s overtired or being bothered by reflux. Jamie doesn’t really understand the concept of overtired and it ALWAYS happens at night when he has him while I’m doing work. But he’s getting much better at “shhhing” him instead of talking to him which just wakes him up. 

Milestones:  
Drum roll please.....ROLLING OVER! 3x’s so far but it counts! He’s totally not doing it how most babies do it but I don’t care. I put him on his belly and he stuck his little booty in the air, wiggled it around, and bam he rolled over. 

He is also scooting on his back in his crib.. he starts out in the long part of the bed and then I’ll find him sideways laying on the short part of the crib. Hmmmmm we are in trouble!

He is batting and grabbing everything! He loves to hold the baby Sophie and put her in his mouth. He’s holding rattles and trying to eat them but no shaking.

We also got out the high chair so he could sit in it at dinner with us. He LOVES it. He just sits in there and kicks his feet as fast as he can. I finally took the tray away because I was afraid he would bruise his knees.

Not looking too happy but check out his feet...

Moving a mile a minute!

He learned to kick in the bathtub. Every time he’s in the bath he will pull his feet up so he’s not touching the water. I have been trying to coach him to put his feet down and kick (because I’m a water bug and can’t even imagine the thought of him not liking the water). Well I had just got done saying aww buddy you can put you feet down and bam! He got those feet a kicking, water was flying everywhere, I was soaked! And laughing so hard I couldn’t stop. He was so proud of himself. He was smiling up a storm. I mean can he get any cuter?!

Medical: He has eczema ******* BEEP! I’m frustrated. Cradle cap and eczema I mean really? Give me a break! His head still looks terrible and his poor face. So now I’m putting eczema lotion on every five seconds. It doesn’t bother him at all so that’s good. The reflux is still a nightmare. I’m still really resistant to putting cereal in the bottle because I read that increases his chances of food allergies and we already have this milk protein allergy going on...But I think we finally got all of the dairy out of his system. I am going to try soy this week. Fingers crossed. 

Postpartum: Still at five more pounds. My big girl jeans I bought from target are too big! Hooray! I have been struggling to get in runs- with going back to work, Jamie’s work schedule and now I’m sick. I know when I can run with Jackson it’s going to get easier.
