Blake's 3 Months Old

This cutie is now 3 Months Old!!

**Still seems to have colic, acid reflux, and tummy issues

**Still cries alot, but slowly getting better. When he gets upset it just escalates fast and he gets pretty worked up.

**We are improving at night. He goes to bed around 8-8:15pm, and usually wakes up between 1:30-2:30am and then between 4-6:30. I hold off feeding him until the later time. If we could just cut out the first one, we"ll be doing good. Still tired!

*Blake loves bath time, but HATES getting out. Screams and screams once he's out and we're getting clothes back on him.

*He loves watching his brother.

*Coos and talks alot more; smiles at us when we get close and talk with him.

*Still only likes to be in the car when its moving, otherwise, he isn't happy.

*He's doing better in his nap nanny. I'll push him around in it to like the kitchen and he sits in it and watches me.

*Still loves to be held.

*2 weeks ago he was diagnosed with RSV. NOT FUN. Honestly it was my biggest fear that he would eventually get it. THANKFULLY, it wasn't too severe. Mostly congestion, coughing and sneezing.

*Still likes being on his mat and playing.

*He really is such a cute boy and his sweet personality is starting to come out when he isn't crying and upset. We just got to get him to calm down easier when he gets upset!!

*When we went to the doctor last week he was 15lbs 11oz. Growing, growing, growing!

Blake's 2 Months Old

Well this past Sunday, our little man turned 2 months old!!!

Yesterday we went to the doctor and this little chunk weighs 14 lbs 11oz!!! And he's 25 1/4 inches long!! 90th percentile and up!! 

I'll be honest, life is a bit harder with 2 kids. And especially with a baby that the doctors think has acid reflux, colic, and tummy issues! (ALL 3!!!) So thats been hard. He sleeps about a 5 hour stretch at night for the past week. Which is a big progress from before. But he's always waking up because his tummy is hurting him. Poor thing. He cries a lot. A lot. Sometime I can get it under control, something we can't. Colic. Not fun. Sometime he's really fussy trying to eat. Acid reflux. Yuck.

So all that on top of having a normal 2 year old that throw tantrums and wants the attention over his brother. Fun times at our house.

The doctor said things should start looking better over the next few months. Most of it is something he'll outgrow. Just feel bad for the poor baby.

But the sweet boy is more alert these days. He's starting cooing and smiling at us. He definitely likes to snuggle on the couch or be held while we walk around. He likes his swing sometimes. Mostly when he's tired. He also like laying on his little mat and kicking and hitting the toys that hang down. 

He isn't a huge fan of his nap nanny or his boppy seat. Honestly he'd rather just lay on the floor. But he has to be in a good mood for that, otherwise he wants to be held. He is starting to really like bath time too. He likes riding in the car, but only if the car is moving. 

We dont venture out too much yet with him since flu season is in full effect. Really paranoid about him getting sick, so we have been hermit crabs as a family.

But we are slowly getting the hang of all this. We are tired, but this too shall pass!!

Christmas with the Harwoods

We had a great Christmas break and are sad to see it go and have Kevin back at work!! Definitely ready to get back on a schedule! Well at least somewhat of one until I'm back working and Blake's at the school with Carter!

The first part of the holidays we went to Irving and spent time with my family. Then Christmas Eve night we headed back to Austin so we could have Christmas morning at our house for the first time!!! We really enjoyed that, especially for Carter! Then Christmas afternoon part of Kevin's family came into town and a couple of days later the rest did! We had Christmas with the Harwoods at our house this year!! Good times!

Also Kevin and I celebrated our birthdays right after Christmas!
