The new look in baby wear

I was letting Oreo in from outside and he tore through the living room. Well Alex was on the ground and he started screaming. I scooped Alex up and checked all over to see if I saw paw marks. I took his clothes off and he was ok. I guess he just cried because Oreo scared him. Well a few minutes later I noticed a scratch on his arm. Oreo did hurt him. I called the dr. and they said to put neosporin and a long sleeve shirt. Since it's so hot I cut the sleeve off one side....thus, the new picture.

My friend Connie has a baby blog and she inspired me to give a mini update on Alex.

For the past almost 2 weeks Alex has had diarrhea. We're changing about 10 diapers a day, 8 of them being poo. Yesterday he went through 4 outfits. Since he has diarrhea, he has been on bananas to "clog" him up. Now when we feed him anything but fruit it's a challenge to get him to eat. Last night he was up every hour from 9pm-3am. I guess it was because of the Peas I had him eat. Tonight he refused to eat his Garden Vegetables but he ate up all the bananas.

He loves daycare. He's happy when I drop him off and when I pick him up.

He's teething and it's not fun. He's so cranky and fussy. Over the weekend he got Motrin a few times. He chews everything, drools on everything and gnaws on his pacifier rather than sucking. I try to find the tooth but he starts to eat my finger and I can't see anything.

So far Alex is sitting up unassisted. He is getting on all fours and rocking but then falls flat like a pancake. He hasn't picked up how to crawl from daycare yet. We're hoping it comes....but then hoping it doesn't. If you know what I mean.

Alex loves petting Domino. Oreo and Aramis really want nothing to do with him. Oreo, at least, comes by Alex. Aramis is never seen. All pictures I have with him in the pets it's just Domino and Oreo...no Aramis.

Well, gotta go. Alex is crying. There's probably some poop in store for me and he needs a bath.

Oh the joys of daycare

Alex started daycare last Monday. Since then he had vomiting on Wednesday, I had the same plus diarrhea on Friday, then Alex started with diarrhea Saturday. Today he had it so bad it came out of his clothes.

Can someone tell me what else I have to look forward to? I already know...chicken pox, the flu, ringworms, stitches, busted lips, etc.

Mom is excited to start back to work so Mr. Spoiled can learn how to not be so spoiled. Currently he's fighting sleep.

Something New

I was on the treadmill this morning and Patrick came running in the room. He told me I had to get off the treadmill right away and come see...but be quiet.


He said that a while went by and he didn't hear Alex making any noise. So he got up and sure enough he had fallen asleep in his jumperoo.

Happy 4th of July

So I forgot to put this up on the 4th. Oh well.

Alex started holding his bottle and can you see two teeth at the bottom??

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

For the last two weeks bedtime has been a struggle. We're trying to get to the point where he understands what to do after his jammies are on. I don't put his p.j.'s on until he looks tired. So, after he looks tired we put him in his crib and tell him "it's sleepy time". We haven't rocked him to sleep or given him a bottle. Tonight is the very first night he's gone down awake and not made a sound and he put himself to sleep. I just went in to check if he was watching his aquarium and he was asleep.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex

This is what I was coming on to post but forgot about. I'm pretty sure he knows his name. About a week ago, my friend, Jennifer, called Alex and he looked up. I didn't know if it was a fluke or not. So I've been calling his name at different times. When he's distracted or not. He's looking!!! I even said bogus words to see if he turned at any sound and he doesn't.

Today he fell asleep in my car around 5pm. Since I didn't want him to sleep I called his name and he woke up. His eyes closed again, I said some nonsense words and he didn't move. I called his name and he opened his eyes again.

We're creating a monster!

As I was coming to blog, Alex screamed. I looked over and he smiled. Hmmm, what to do now? Earlier today he was on his blanket and he was worming his way on to the carpet after the cat. I picked him up and moved him back to the blanket. He cried hysterically. We left him on the blanket for a while because it was ridiculous that he cried because I moved him. Then when we realized he wasn't going to stop crying and it was getting louder, Patrick picked him up.

Here are some pictures of our little trouble maker.

Whatcha' doin' Mommy?


Best Buds

the good and the bad

Alex sleeps for 10-12 hours. Mostly it's around 11-12 hours. That's the good. The bad is that he goes to bed at 6:30pm. This means he wakes up between 5:30-6:30. I got lucky yesterday. He woke up at 5:30, but when I went in his room I just rolled him on his belly and stuck the pacifier in his mouth. He went back to sleep until 7:30. This morning I attempted to do the same. Didn't work. So now we're watching Blue's Clues. It's 6:15am and we've already been up for 45 minutes. FUN FUN! If anyone has tips on getting him to go to sleep later...let me know...lol.

The cutest and best picture EVER!

We got these at Children's Place and wanted to see if he would wear them. He doesn't seem to mind them at all. I guess it helps that daddy and mommy wear them and he sees that.

Swimming pictures

This is Alex's first time in a swimming pool. He loved it! He kicked his feet the whole time. He did not like being laid on his back. I think it had something to do with the sensation of water covering his ears. The other baby is his girlfriend, Kylee.

Someone's getting teeth!

Alex has 2 teeth coming in at the bottom. Everytime I take a look he follows my finger with his tongue.

He's been so crabby and stubborn lately and I really hope it's because he's teething :)
