What's been going on with us lately --With the holidays over, we are trying to get back into a routine again. This last week seemed to be all doctor visits...one for Jace, me and one for Camden. His 2 month check up showed he is doing great. 9 lbs 8 oz and 22.5 inches.
On Wednesday, Heath celebrated the big 29. Neither of us can believe he's that old! Our sweet friends watched the kids for us so I could take Heath out for dessert! THANK YOU!!! That was the first time we'd been out together in about 6 months. It was really nice. He may think he's an old man, but he's my old man and I love him.
This morning we woke up to 5 inches of snow. I love it. There seems to be a stillness that comes when it snows. So, as a snow-in day, Jace and I made snowmen out of play-dough, sang winter songs and even created a wheather wheel. It was fun. Camden is doing so much better now that I've eliminated dairy from my diet. He cries much less. He has his occassional fussy days, but I expect that...he's just a gassy baby. I'm testing out soy milk this week to see if he does okay with that. The hardest part of this is trying to figure out new things to eat. It seems like everything has milk or cheese with it. Heath has been working full-time while he's out of school, but starts up again next week. I think he is anxious to start so he doesn't get in too much of a no-school mode. :0)
It's been such a joy to have a newborn around the house again. I find so much happiness in his sweet little smiles and coos. When he gives mommy some sleep, it's even better! Two nights ago he did a 6 hour stretch and i was THRILLED! I know my milk just goes right through him so he gets hungry so fast, but atleast he's learning a sleeping pattern at night. I think I figured out why mom's are always ready in the morning so early too....they have to be otherwise there's no other time to get it done. Oh, what a difference a shower makes! Jace is still being sweet to the baby and he and I both can't wait until they can interact more.
