We have a rolling baby. Back to front, front to back....hes practically running.

Things I don't want to forget at 4 months so just go with it:

Favorite Song: Frera Jackra

Eyes: Still blue

Hair: light brown

Bedtime: 6:30

Night feeding: 2:00am

Wake up: 6:00am

Naps every two hrs (average 4 naps a day)

Hayden is such a happy baby and he's getting really funny.  Marcus can really get him laughing but hes more sucky with me (maybe I'm just not funny).

The other day I could tell his little teeth were bothering him so I laid him down on the ground and started to dance for him.  Well..I don't know what happened but something came over me and it turned into a full on freaky combo Kevin Bacon/Flash Dance dance routine. I was running up and down the halls singing dancing while poor Hayden lied there watching me stunned! I did get his mind off of his teeth though....I think I dislocated my hip.

Friday night I headed to the cottage with my mom and 12 women for a girls weekend at the cottage. Would you believe I actually cried before I left!!! Hilarious! I was sad to leave my little guy. I was  gone less than 24hrs!  I knew Marcus had it all under control yet still had a really hard time going.  With that said, I'm glad I did go though.  My two guys needed some alone time without me watching.  

schedule shmedule

So we have been on a fantastic schedule (and understanding) for two months now!
Two 30 min naps in the morning and two 30 min naps in the afternoon...bed by 6:30ish.

The last few days he napping longer and yesterday he gave up this 2nd afternoon nap, which made bed time a HUGE pain. (still in bed by 7:15) but it through me right off. So does this mean he doesn't need to sleep every 2hrs like he did in the past? (even though he seemed dead tired yesterday as he fought his nap). I don't get it, He's been sleeping 2hrs AND now hes sleeping through his 12:00pm feeding.

Just when I think I have him all figured out....

Thanksgiving and Milestone Mania!

Another Thanksgiving, another weekend of endless food!

Milestone! Hayden can now roll over on his own....mark it down people...mark..it...down.

Ok, I'll mark it down! I'm so proud!

To Spaz or Not to Spaz

To spaz or not to spaz...that is the question.

Today mosheshe and I started our first mom group, (yes the one I lined up for).
Anyway, would you believe I actually had anxiety about it last night? I had a dream
that I walked in on someone basting Hayden like a turkey ready to put him in the oven to cook!
The Freud in me believes this was my subconscious way of dealing with my anxiety, or feeding it I should say.

So anyway, we get up, we go, all the while I'm just not sold on the idea of someone else looking after my little guy (day care at mom group). Not that I don't trust others I just don't feel that hes ready for others putting him to sleep, calming him down etc. Sleep was actually my biggest concern. If he misses a nap life for me there after is a gong show.

Anywho, as I was saying... The morning actually went well. (Yes I did check on him about 12 times) but I knew that my little man would need me. ....well he didn't not until it was time to leave.

I was a little annoyed with myself for being such a spaz seeing my nature is not like that at all! I am never afraid of trying new things and never in my life had I ever experienced anxiety!

With that all said a few women in the class told me I was their hero for biting the bullet and getting out of the house with Hayden at such a young age. They both told me they were too afraid of it themselves when their babies were his age.

Knowing that I'm not crazy, that it's ok to feel like a spaz and anxiety does happen to other mothers made me feel so much better.

I understand now why all those moms stood around in the cold that morning to register. To seek reassurance that they're doing a great job, and realize we are all crazy together.
