So Mommy has been having a hard time finding time to blog. Usually she finalizes big brothers blog posts during his nap, but that is now MY time… so poor Mommy gets no break. Sure there is time after Breighton goes to bed and before I go to bed, but that is when Mommy picks up the house and eats dinner and bangs her head on the wall. Two boys… sure we are a handful! 🙂

So, what have I been up to? Sleeping…

and NOT sleeping!

I like to hold fingers

I can show my angry face and shoot a bird…

Then… SLEEP…

SLEEP…

SLEEP…

SLEEP with Mommy…

one eye open SLEEP.

two eyed SLEEP.

I did meet Grandpa John… but I was fussy that night.

He came back a few days later and we managed to get a family shot!

Oh yeah, I LOVE my big brother! He rocks!

SO, THAT IS IT! Just lots of sleep!

OH, I went to EPCOT this past weekend. I will post pictures later!

Well, since I blogged last I have been dealing with this reflux thing. Mommy is trying lots of different things to try to help me out with the pain and to get more sleep. I can’t lay down and sleep without having weird breathing sounds and flailing around my bed. Last night Mommy finally let me sleep in my car seat and I did MUCH better staying asleep. I do sleep VERY well ON Mommy but Mommy doesn’t sleep then. Ugh! Hopefully it all passes soon.

I am growing like a weed, nursing VERY well and loving my big brother a LOT! Breighton gives me LOTS of hugs and tries to comfort me when I get fussy. He likes to put stuffed animals on me and pat my head. Really cute! He has even been asking Mommy if he can hold and hug me lately. Daddy snapped a few photos of us bonding.

I can get my hands to my mouth when I want now. During tummy-time I can turn my head side to side and even hold it straight up for a few moments. I still pretty much REFUSE the binki, I prefer the real thing to pacify.

My life is not really in my control yet. I just get put in the car seat and toted all over town. Mommy said I make up for the control I give up during the day… at night it is ALL ABOUT ME! hehe!

Mommy & Daddy said I am not high needs… I am really mellow. I just make weird noises.

Oh yeah, I also got to meet my Grandpa John (He lives in California). That was cool. Big brother kept dragging him away for more hugs and night-night kisses, but I got my time of snuggles in! 🙂

Also, Mommy said the highlight of her week so far (knock on wood) is that I have gone nearly 48 hours since a MAJOR projectile reflux. I even went all day yesterday with the same onesie on! GO ME!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Yup, you guessed it, just like big brother I have reflux. Mommy and Daddy aren’t as concerned this time since they know how to handle it. Mommy said there is no way she will pump and thicken again. (Daddy agreed because it apparently made Mommy VERY neurotic when she did it for 10 months for Breighton) Good news is that I do well if I am propped up for a while after I eat (which normally isn’t an issue since I sit in my bouncy chair most of the day).

I have had a few rough nights but still sleep. Mommy said I just make weird noises and toss and turn so she doesn’t get sleep. Daddy sleeps just fine! He could sleep through an explosion!

I am growing up so fast!

Hanging out with Breighton. He is good to me. He gives me lots of kisses. He even shares his animal toys with me, after he is done playing with them.

Mommy trying to get me to wake up. Yeah right! My hardest sleep is in the day and I toss and turn all night long. Mommy said it will get straightened out… eventually!
