Haunted House

I swear my house is haunted! (and no I'm not spending too much time alone ).
I have watched Hayden on numerous occasions stare off and clearly see something! Whatever he sees he follows with his eyes and he finds them hilarious! What's so funny? I would love in on the joke because right now IT'S NOT FUNNY!

During the day it ranks moderate on the creepy scale, but at night those ratings fly off the charts! You try breastfeeding at 3am in the dark as your baby smiles and laughs at his new little friends.

In addition to Haydens distractions I swore I saw a shadow go by the other night. I thought it was Marcus until I realized he was still in bed!

But wait...that's not the worst of it! Lui is also friendly with those that I can't see. I have seen him stare off (in the same area of our house) at nothing. The only difference is, Lui doesn't find them funny. He growls and barks...


CREEPY!

I'd be lying

I'd be lying if I pretended like there were not hard days and everything was perfect! It would make me look like super mama but really....who are we kidding. Up until Hayden I had never changed a dirty diaper!

Anyway...The last few days have been less than perfect! The little man has a cold, the little man is going through a growth spurt and my little man has bad gas. All this adds up to one big old party!

He was up basically for two days and two nights straight..with me right along side of him and Marcus coming up the rear.  We bounced, we danced, we sang, we fed, we fed we fed, we held, we rocked, we cuddled, we swaddled etc etc.  We took him into the shower and tried to steam his cold out. We used drops, suctioned mucous from his nose, rubbed his tummy etc etc.

Now today all of a sudden (after a HUGE baby poop.....sorry I am being honest here remember!) He is a different baby! He's laughing, hes smiling he's lovely! He let me make lunch, he let me eat! Hurray he let me use the toilet! (sorry, too much information).

As I type this hes sitting here in the swing watching a coldplay concert on tv. Yes, Yes I know exposing him to TV already. Cut me some slack, hes quiet for the moment!

Must run...lunch time and he calls!

Fat and happy.......

An excitng week!

Well this has been QUITE the EXCITING week for big H. Not only was he a super model he established a somewhat consistent night time routine and gained some weight!

Tuesday was a big day for mommy and baby. With the help of Mom I was able to brush my hair for the first time in a month (so not kidding) and get myself dressed for our photo shoot for Black's (they were in a need of a family pic for one of their stores). So we packed ourselves up and drove out to Woodbridge. Hayden worked the camera like a pro... As a result we got a few really cute pics!

Yesterday after a visit with Oma and Nono we drove out to the Drs for a follow up apt. Last week I was asked to put Hayden on formula 4 x a day after feedings. Why? because hes a little piggy and he wasn't gaining weight fast enough. Well...in one week he went from 8lbs 5oz to 9lbs 10oz! It's working!

Last night we decided to try the crib out now that his little belly is full of food now... Well....
He loved it! Ladies and Gents PROGRESS!

I put him down at 10:00 and he slept until 12:00

Then down at 1:00 and slept until 3:30

Then down at 4:30 and slept until 6:30

After that we had play time on the mat (which is basically me dancing around him trying to make him laugh with a little tummy time thrown in).

Now I just put him down for his 8:30 nap. He didn't eat as much as I had hoped so this nap will prob be a short one...in fact I hear him now! Darn!

Well....we are almost there.

Wow! the things that get me excited these days!

SCARRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY

P.S Marcus is now a pro at dancing Hayden to sleep. Check out the video!

3 week update

Is it just me or does Hayden look like a cross between Christopher Walken amd Yoda? (at times you can pepper in satan to the mix) Ahhhhhhhhh how can I make fun of my own little guy!

He's changing so much every day. His hair is lighter now and really fine...hes also really long and lanky. Lately I see more of me in him than Marcus (do i look like yoda?)

Hes hit the fussy age so we take him one day at a time...

This weekend we took him to the cottage. I didnt see the light of day but at least I got away!
