11am we get up for the day. Grayden nurses and has a BIG bum change. He sits in his bumbo while mommy eats some breakfast. We play on the couch for a while or Grayden plays in his exersaucer.
12:30 Graydens ready for another nap. Still loves his swing for when he naps and occasionally goes down in his crib. I'm not sure how long we can use the swing for?? He's starting to get too big and before we no it we'll be packing the swing away....OH NO what will I do !!: (
1:30 Grayden wakes up and so does daddy for the day.
1:30-3:30 I nurse Grayden and then we just hang out and play...if its nice we try to get out and go for a walk
3:30 Graydens about ready for another nap
4:30 Nurse Grayden again.... Start getting supper ready and play some more.
5:30 supper time. Grayden always sits at the supper table with us in his bumbo. Grayden's usually tired again and goes down for another nap.
6:30-7:30 Grayden wakes up and nurses and we go on a walk if its nice out. the mosquitos haven't made our walks very pleasant especially after all this rain !!!! I am constantly watching Grayden to make sure no mosquitos fly in there and bite him.
8:00-8:30 bath time and then we say goodbye to daddy for the night ....Grayden goes down for another nap
9:30-11 Gray wakes up and plays with mommy, we read a story, nurse and then go to sleep.
So thats our routine. It's not set in stone of course and is always changing as Grayden changes, but its something I try to stick by.
He still naps alot which is nice because I am able to get things done around the house and have some time to myself. Sometimes he doesn't fall asleep right away and gets pretty cranky and I have found ways that soothes him to sleep. He loves it when I put his froggie under his arm and usually that does the trick but what always works is the VACUME!! YUP Grayden loves the vacume. He loves it and ALWAYS falls right to sleep. MY FLOORS HAVE NEVER BEEN SO CLEAN!! and its really helpful when its cleaning day.LoL
So What else is new with Grayden this month?? Oh yah...the giggles are FINALLY out!!! He's been giggling in his sleep since he was 2 months old but RARELY when he's awake. The first time I heard him giggle when he was awake was when my mom came down last month on May 16th. Grandma was pulling his soother in and outta his mouth and he let out the cutest little giggle. I have been trying ever since but he just gives me the BIGGEST SMILES instead. I'm just not that funny I guess....Well on Fathers day daddy went to work early and I gave him his bath by myself and he was laying on our bed playing with me and I dug my face in his chin and he thought it was just HILARIOUS (ive done that plenty of times but this time was funnier than most I guess) It was so sweeet and just the cutest thing I've ever heard. Hearing him laugh is the best and just melts my heart. He does it all the time now but he SURE MAKES YA WORK FOR IT. LoL.
This month around 13 weeks old Grayden has really started to develop his hand-eye coordination. He is actually playing with his toys now. I love watching him lay on his back and actually grab at them or sit in his exersaucer and pull all the toys towards his mouth. Its amazing how babies literally have to learn to do EVERYTHING.
Grayden is grabbing at EVERYTHING these days. I have learned not to wear earrings ANYMORE (he has yanked them out a few times now) and he loves grabbing mommies hair. YOU WON'T BE SEEING ME WITH MY HAIR DOWN FOR A WHILE let me tell ya.... !!!. Also...Everything he grabs MUST go in his mouth..and the drool!!..Oh the drool !! OH YAH Grayden found his feet last week :) I'll post a picture of that soon.
Well we have a doctors appointment tomorrow for Graydens 4 month check-up. Im anxious to find out his weight. He was 13 Lbs 9 oz on his last check-up which was 1 1/2 months ago. He was in the 75th percentile for his age!! I put him on the weight scare here and it said 14.3 Lbs so we'll see how accurate it is. I'll make sure to update this tomorrow when we find out....(UPDATE) WELL GRAYDEN IS ONE HEALTHY BOY!! HE WEIGHED IN AT A WHOPPING 16 LBS 5 oz which puts him in the 90th percentile for his weight and he was 26 1/2 inches long which is in the 95th percentile for his height, Im not sure where he is getting his height from because no one is our family is tall ! Well my baby has officially doubled his weight since birth!! She also said I should start him on rice cereal because they are now recommending starting on solids at 4 months instead of 6. Im totally not ready to start him on solids yet! Grayden is still satisfied after his feedings and he has the weight to show for it. I wasn't planning on starting until 6 months or sooner if Grayden seemed ready for it. I'm still going to wait a few more weeks and then we'll start the solids.
I am going to be pretty busy the next couple of days trying to get things ready for our trip to Vancouver. We leave tuesday morning at 8:30 AM!! YIKES...I haven't been up that early for months! Im not looking forward to it. It's hard packing for a baby...theres so much they need and I'm trying not to forget anything. Im so excited to be their with mom and dad for two weeks, but I dont think anyone is more excited then they are..LoL
Thats about all thats new with Grayden this month. I hope I didn't forget anything!! This month has been so much fun watching him grow and learn so much.
There are no words that can express how much I love you Grayden! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and Im so greatful to be your mother. Mommy and daddy love you so much!! HAPPY 4 MONTH BIRTHDAY!!
