Smiling Baby, Sad Mommy



I Can't believe my baby is 12 weeks old already! I feel that I say this every week that goes by, but I truly am amazed at how fast Jamey is Growing. As you can tell from this picture, James has started to really start laughing and smiling. He especially loves when he catches a glimpse of his feet. I usually put colored socks on him, so when he sees them moving around, he gets really excited!


Jamey also really enjoys his activity center. He could just sit and play under this for hours. He has started to become more curious and he gets really excited when he hits one of the animals and it moves. He also discovered that when he kicks his feet really hard the music plays. As soon as the music stops, he legs start going like crazy to try and get the music to start again.



This is how I found James one morning. He had kicked off his blanket and punched through his Halo. He must have decided to leave his arm up in victory. I thought he looked pretty ridiculous. He has started to outgrow his halo, but he wont stay asleep unless he is swaddled. I may have to look into some bigger ones with stronger velcro. He has started sleeping better through the night. One night he slept from 10pm until 6am! This of course, was for Nate while I was at work. He also seems to know when I'm home, because when I am, he gets up at least every 4hrs during the night to eat.

Going back to work has been quite an adjustment for me. I really miss being home with James all day. I miss seeing the sweet smile on his face when I woke him up from his naps. He does really well at daycare, and I think it is good for him, but I miss him SOOO much when I am away from him. Three days a week doesn't sound like much, but to a new mom, it's torture!

Nate is still subbing for 8th Grade Tech Ed. and is still really enjoying it. We are excited that he should be able to stay at this job for a while. Hopefully a position will open up in English for him next year :)

Well Its time for me to catch up on some sleep. Hopefully James will let me get a little tonight :)
