You're twenty five weeks old this week. I don't like the sound of that. It sounds like you're already a big boy. Whew.
The days are flying by. You and a I have settled into a routine together each day. I miss your Dad so much, but the time really is going quickly. Each morning I wake up around 7am. You're sleeping in your crib now! Dad and I moved you from your bassinet into the crib last week while he was here and you seem to really like it. So, I let you sleep while I get ready for work. I wake you around 7:45AM, and get you dressed for the day. I love your little smiles in the morning. You are such a happy, morning baby!
I take you to school and into your classroom. Miss Anna meets us at the door. I am positive you are her favorite. She gives you hugs and kisses while I unpack your bag. I'm so very thankful for your teachers!! We are so blessed to have them in our life. They love you and take great care of my little man.
I usually feed you 6oz before I take you to school, so when you get there you're ready to play. Before I head out to work I put you down so you can play. You love the exersaucer at school...
Throughout the day Miss Anna sends me texts, and photos of you playing. I love being able to see what you're up to at school while I'm at work. I pick you up each afternoon and LOVE to see your little face light up when you catch sight of me. It makes my heart flip flop!
We head home and I unpack our stuff. Into the highchair you go and then I feed you veggies. While you are in the highchair I hurry and fix myself something small to eat for dinner. Usually it's something fast like a sandwich or something I can pop into the oven. Right now I love eating an egg roll. Quick and easy!
Then, around 6pm you get into the tub. Bathtime is still my favorite. You're sitting up in your tub now. This just started this week. You love it!
You love to eat your bubbles and Mr. Froggy. It cracks me up to see your face when you get a mouthful of bubbles. Yucky!
After your bath I put your PJ's on (you HATE it when I rub you down with lotion!!!) then put you in your new jumper while I shower. Mom's gotta do what she can to keep you occupied while I get ready for bed..
After my bath we play on my bed for awhile. Until you have a meltdown that is, then I feed you more milk, get your belly nice and full and into the bed you go. Your bedtime right now is 8pm. Usually you will fuss for a few minutes, pull your blankie over your head and then you're out.
You're still not sleeping through the whole night. You wake up once during the night for more milky milk. Honestly, it doesn't bother me at this point. My body seems to have gotten used to waking up now and its just habit. I know you're only going to do this for awhile and then you will be a big boy. So, I love our night feedings. It makes me feel like you're still my little baby!
On the weekends that it's just me and you, we wake up and play. Then we slowly get ready for the day. Sometimes we go to the park and get groceries. Other weekends we go shopping and eat lunch out. I love spending the weekend with you. You are my joy, sweet Jonah!
This week we had a special outing. I took you to see Santa for the first time!! YOU LOVED SANTA!!...
We waited in line at Bass Pro Shop to see him for almost an hour and you didn't make a peep. I forgot your diaper bag in the truck. I wasn't about to get out of line to go get it, so I was hoping that you would be enthralled with the lights and music. Annnnd, you were. Whew. Crisis averted! I handed you over to Santa and you cuddled right up. It made me laugh. You weren't scared by the beard and suit at all!
I can't wait for the weekend!! Friday night we fly to Texas! Dad is picking us up from the airport and I can't wait to see him. He has missed you terribly this week. We can't wait to celebrate Christmas together with you. This is going to be the BEST Christmas ever. Ever, ever...
Love you to the moon and back little man!!
Momma
