We'll Be In Touch

What a happy baby he is! Here are the highlights! The months of October and November were overshadowed by trying to figure out some tummy issues he was having. We went to the pediatrician a number of times and finally went to Nutramigen formula for about 8 weeks. He made the switch pretty well and things finally cleared up (or should I say stopped up!) We made the switch back to Enfamil Gentlease just before Christmas and its been going well enough Two bottom teeth came in the first few weeks of October! Daycare had him start solid foods - so he started eating once a day mainly apples and bananas, then some carrots and sweet potatoes Minus the nights he was awake with tummy issues, he got on a pretty good routine of only waking up once a night, between 2am-4am for a bottle, and sleeping until 7am. I can definitely handle once a night wake-ups and Aaron was happy to do a few feedings too!  He started (?) and continues to sleep on his belly and can roll over every which way...

We had an awesome time trick-or-treating with our friends this year! This is the 3rd year we have spent the evening with them - it is funny how things just become traditions without even realizing it!  And because I love some good comparisons photos...

Canon started Kindergarten. His teachers are Miss Link and Mrs. Morrison Ben started in the Butterflies class in the Montessori classroom.  His teachers are Miss Kay, Ms Jessie and Ms Bernita.  Sam started in Little Lambs. His teachers are Ms Leola, Ms Kristi, Ms Venecia and Ms Janice And I started back full-time, too! 

Well, his 1 week post turned into his 1 month post which has now turned into his 2 month post! I'm going to try to recap as much as I can remember for my own benefit. Sam is the best baby. He has slept very well since birth and he's only waking up once or twice at night right now! We never had any long hours of walking/bouncing/rocking him and from the beginning he has typically gone back to sleep well. I've begun to notice that when he hasn't had enough sleep, it tends to mean he's restless from about 5am - 7am. He was clocking a solid 4-5 hours of sleep during the first 6 weeks, typically from like 9-1, but now we've finally been able to move his bedtime up and he'll do 7-2ish. While I'm not great at putting myself to bed early, it is such a difference for me emotionally to put him to sleep earlier and know that I've got the rest of the evening to myself. I moved him into the big boys room probably around 5 weeks and it has been going reall...

Baby Sam arrived at 8:51am on Thursday, May 18, 2017. He was a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks. The other boys were both c-sections, but at 40+3 and 40 weeks. Samuel weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 19.5 inches long (our smallest baby!) Aaron and I both took Wednesday off and it was a great day to finish up a few things and enjoy each others company. We took the boys to school, had breakfast, went to Chapel, cleaned/organized and then spent the afternoon and evening celebrating our last night as a family of 4! We ate dinner at Los Tios and then went to Canon's t-ball game! Ha, a pretty normal evening and perfect for us. Post bedtime there was a bit of scrambling getting everything packed for the hospital and ready for the boys to be with my mom and friends for 3 days, but we got it done in time to go to bed at a decent time. Thursday morning we were up super early to be at the hospital at 5:30am. My mom stayed the night with us so she could take the boys to school. Registra...
