Bedtime!

Christian slept in his all night. For the first time. Ever. Yayyyyy!!! I finally feel like it is the right time, although I will still steal him away to snuggle up with me some nights. I love waking up to my little man's smiles and laughter. :D

Jam Session!

Ok, so this morning I am feeling extra pumped. I got up at 6 something, got energized by listening to some Soca then Zumba'd until I felt like dropping. As could be expected, as soon as I was about to pass out, Christian woke up (which brings me to another great milestone which I will write about in a separate post). So, I turned on my music, pumped up the volume and Christian and I had a Michael Jackson jam session. :D FUN!!!!!

Dreading Wednesday

Soooo...Wednesday we will FINALLY get Christian in for his 4 month shots. He was supposed to have them on the first (when he actually turned 4 months), but I was just getting over the flu and didn't want to go infecting an office full of kids (not to mention the bf had to work and I would have had to deal with shot time all alone). We rescheduled for this past Wednesday but then we got hit by snow and the doctor's office canceled on us. Now we are trying AGAIN. Hopefully this time we make it in there. I'm so anxious for him to get his immunizations (especially since he has been sick TWICE and that absolutely broke my heart). What I'm not looking forward to are the actual shots. When he got his two month shots it was traumatizing. For both of us. For one, I am TERRIFIED of needles. Secondly, I hate seeing him in pain (even if I know it will help him in the long run). So having to hold him down while the nurse hurt him was heartbreaking. He cried so much and so hard. And she had to stick him three times. I would have passed out if I hadn't been so worried about soothing him. *Sigh* Now we have to do it all over again. Poor Christian. :(

Mama's Big Boy!

This isn't really all that post-worthy, but I just realized today just how big Christian is. He is sooooo tall and thick. He's not fat, by any means. But he is definitely a chubby baby. With the most kissable, pinchable cheeks. I love my little linebacker. :D I never really realize how big he has gotten until I go to the doctor for a checkup, have to buy new clothes, or until (like today) I see him next to another baby. I guess that us moms are around them so much that it's harder to see how much they have grown. I think that we tend to notice milestones more than anything else. The first non-gassy smile. Their first laugh. The first time they rolled over. People who don't see them that often are focused more on how they look.

Oh, and today was a BEAUTIFUL day, so I took Christian out to enjoy the sunshine and the cool breeze. This is the first time he has really been outside (beside running to and from the car) since November. I can't wait until Spring makes an official appearance. We will definitely be going on more outings then. :)
