Summer is almost over!!





Not so much been going on around our house lately. Jeremy has been working alot so it has been me and the little guy most days. My mom was able to come spend the week since she was working in The Woodlands. I'm sure she enjoyed her time with Jayson. Although, him crying at night and waking her up when she had to get up around 5ish probably was not fun. It was so nice to have someone cook for me. Although, I felt a little guilty since she worked all day and them came home (every night) and cooked. Thanks MOM!!!






So in the mean time I am trying to enjoy every last second I can with my baby before I have to go back to work. Somedays I feel like I cannot wait to go back to be out of the house and socialize and do my job. But MOST days I feel a sense of sadness and anxiety knowing someone else will have to take care of my little boy. Almost a sense of jealousy... because I'm his Mommy :( I know it will be fine, and I know it will be okay... but its still very hard to let your baby go!!! So even at night when he wakes me up and wants to eat or to just be touched by me, I am trying to not get frustrated but enjoy this time with him being so little and wanting him Mommy. One day I know he will be dying to get away from me.

Happy 4 Months Jayson :)


We are officially 4 months old! Wow... He's a 1/3 of the way to a year old. LOL! Jayson has been seriously going through sleep issues this last month. He naps about 30 minutes at a time regardless of where he is at. Sometimes he will take a 1.5 nap but these are few and far in between. It started off bad when he got sick, got worse when I was sick, got a little better and then worse again. Lately we have been trying to have a bedtime routine and it seems (for now) as if it is working. He gets a bath, lotion massage, PJ's, read a book, fed and bed!! When we are home and we do this he sleeps between 6-8 hours and then usually another 3-4.. It is pure bliss. He wakes up maybe once in between but takes his pacifier and usually goes back to sleep. Sleepless nights are not fun. I am hoping he stays on this schedule because it will be really nice when I go back to work.






Jayson went to the doctor Monday for his check up. He is 13 lbs 15 oz and 25 3/4 in long. This puts him in the 25% for weight and 75% for height. I have a tall skinny boy!!! He got his shots and seemed to do okay, a little fussy that evening but all good!

Catch Up

So I AM gonna get better at this. We have been pretty exhausted lately. Jayson has a mind of his own when it comes to sleep. He is the happiest baby when he is awake. He takes catnaps all day and wants to wake up periodically during the night.. Honestly this little boy slept better when he was a newborn. Anyhow...



We have been trying to go on walks in the mornings before it gets too hot. Its nice to get outside and here the birds chirping. Jayson just looks around or plays with his toys on his stroller..




We got to go see Katie and Jaysons first girlfriend MOLLY!!! They live up by Dallas and we have not seen them in a while.. Molly is 5 days older than Jayson.. Yea, he goes for older women.. Just like Daddy!! LOL


On 4th of July, Jayson went swimming for the first time. He is usually a water baby in the tub so I figured he would like it. He was pretty quiet at first but then started smiling and talking and having a good time.


We go to the doctor on Monday for this 4 month old checkup.. and he gets a bunch more shots :( I HATE that part.. It kills me to watch someone hurt him.. (even though its for the best)
