Late

The man of the house works some serious long hours. We rarely eat dinner together. He technically only works until 7:30 but since he's a perfectionist and cares very much about his patients it often ends up being 9 or 10 when he gets home. Little guys in bed and I'm half asleep on the couch. We know that having a job in general is a blessing, but it would be nice if he had some better hours. As I say that next week his schedule changes and even though it's the same amount of hours it's still not a "hey I have a kid I would like to see" schedule. Maybe in the future? Last night was one of those really late nights. We decided to bring him dinner and visit while he did paperwork.


Dathan is clearly helping!


Getting some mat time


And no visit is complete without the "my son will stand/walk before he's 5 months physical therapy session" haha we dream big in this house! Does this next picture count?


He's not leaning against his dad or anything... Ok so maybe a little!

Swim and Sleep

While daddy swam laps, momma and D went in the baby pool for our 1st swim! How fun it was, D had the biggest smile the whole time...




Of course right after he was so tired, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.




Look at that tired little face!




This kid likes his sleep! The first 6 weeks we had some serious issues with sleep, he had reflux so he couldn't sleep on his back. The doctors then started to get into what in my diet was causing him so much gas/pain. Looks like dairy products may have been the cause, if I drink milk or eat cheese the peace in our house is non-existent. We were also given a book from our babysitter, "the baby whisperer" it gave us some insight on why we could never get D to sleep. Apparently we were missing his cues that he was tired and just waiting too long to put him down. Let's put it this way after 4 days following the general routine that the book advises we were getting 6-7 hour stretches at night. Now 4 weeks later, he sleeps 8-8 with one wake up to eat. Not bad for 2 months! So, even though needing a babysitter so I could work one day a week made me sad... I am soooo thankful we met her (thank you The farming momma introducing us) and she offered that book and a couple others. I'm pretty sure I would be walking around like a sleepless zombie right now with a very unhappy baby!
