3 months old

I'm 3 months old. I weigh 18 lbs and am about 25 inches long!  I love love love my mama!  I'm easy gong unless I'm gassy or want mama!   I sleep in one large stretch at night the. Wake a couple more times to eat. Thankfully mama keeps the bottles right beside her. She's quick!  I miss nursing but am just happy to get milk!  

I have been playing in my activity bouncer thing and love it!  I can make things turn and jump up and down!  Brother gets jealous but he also makes it more fun by moving it around.  When I get out he gets in. He's way too big!  

I do so love my brother. He makes me giggle. He's also mean to me and hits or scratches me. At least he is doing it less frequently now! He had to be in my 3 month pic too!  Photo bomber!

I love my Sophia you, this octopus and this orange ball thing. I love baths with mama too! I am a happy baby!  Who wouldn't be happy with the family I have!

First 4th of July

My first 4th we went to Wakulla sprigs  and saw GG, grandma, a bunch of church people who loved me and my aunt Carrie/uncle Lucas/ Reese/grayton

We had fun. Well I slept mostly but I was told we had fun. Then we went to Emmys and did fireworks.  Those were cool! I liked the colors. One of them even shrieked like JB does. We laughed at that and I kicked my legs in excitement! Yay for my first 4th!

First week of "daycare"

This week as the first week at "daycare" and away from mama, all day long!  JB and I went to Emmys every  day. JB loves to play!  He and my cousins as well as the dogs are very loud!  It's hard to sleep there but I get wrapped up by Babs or Emmy to sleep on them!  My cousins also hold me!  I definitely never want for anything.  Mama said JB used to have to go to real daycare and that is supposed to suck, so I am glad I'm at Emmys. 

Today is Saturday.  Daddy took JB to some July 4th party so I have slept on mama all day long! It's been over 3 hours. This has made me very happy! Mama says it makes her happy too!

She apparently missed me as much as I missed her!

Back to work

Mama went back to work today. She left me with Emmy. I was very happy!  She was a little sad but told me of all the fun I would have!  She was right!  So much fun!  Uncle Robbie even wore me in the baby carrier so I could sleep!  Nothing wrong with that!

So much love!  I cannot wait to grow up and be able to play with my cousins like JB. They love me!

Peace out!

Nursing

I'm sorry we didn't have many nights of this. But I promise I enjoyed every one of them!

Last of mamas freshly pumped milk

At 8:59pm on 4/27/16, I drank the last drop of the last freshly pumped milk mama pumped before she went into her chemo treatment.  Daddy started the bottle but I left the last ounce for mama to share with me.  She laid me against her breast and I drank until there was nothing left and slowly popped off it like I would do to her, making sure I tried to stretch it back some. The bottle nipple doesn't stretch like mama does. She then put in this pacifier which I sucked on for a second before spitting it out. My eues stayed closed as I rooted around on mama shoulder trying to get comfy. I do so love that she lets me sleep on top of her. She said soon I'll get big and have to sleep beside her but for now she snuggles me tight on her chest!  I've got a good mama!  She loves me so and I love her! 

Mama said she loved hearing me coo back and forth with daddy. She said that is what she and JB did and she's glad daddy is getting the chance to do it with me,  even thigh it makes her sad too.  She wants that time with me. She said she's a tad bit jealous and in awe all at once. Silly mama! 

I did take this amazing formula mama bought me from the uk last night and some today. It tastes almost like mamas milk.  I drink it like a champ. Mama said she's very proud of me! 

Well that's my  update!

Last night of nursing

CB

Tonight was our last night of nursing. Our journey has been very short but you have done very well! You latched on immediately after birth and nursed so much you quickly gained back your birth weight plus more by our 2 week Drs visit!  You get very angry at the boob when it lets down fast or when you are tired.  I think you will adjust quickly to a bottle since you do not really nurse to sleep but rather nurse cry then go to sleep. I'm so sorry our journey is cut short. I'm thankful for the time we have had!

Mama
