Jack has had a very productive past couple of days! On Saturday night, he got back into the swing of things with his sleeping schedule. He has gone to bed by 10pm, woke to eat at 3, and then slept until 7am! WOOHOO! Mommy and Daddy are so happy!

He grabbed his first toy today while having tummy time on his mat. He looked bored just being on his tummy talking to me, so I grabbed some toys and placed them in front of him. When I looked down, he had grabbed his links and was holding on to them. YAY Jack!!!!!!!!!!!

Really wanting to be a big boy, he likes sitting up on his own, with a little help from us. Today, he was laying on my legs, sort of in a recliner position. And he grabbed one of my fingers with each hand and pulled himself up a little bit like he wanted to sit up. So, I pulled back to help him, and there he was sitting up on my belly like a little man. HAHA! He had the proudest look on his face. It was very cute!

Every once in awhile, I feel like I’m having an anxiety attack when I think of him growing up so fast. I sort of lose my breath and have this panicked feeling like I’m going to miss something. The hardest thing by far was moving him from our bed into his own crib. I still wake up and run in there sometimes worried that someone has taken him in the middle of the night.

Then there is the infamous question, “When are you going to let us babysit?” Um, I can tell you right now, that won’t be happening for awhile. Sorry family and friends! Someone asked me that about a week ago, and I really got short of breath. I’m just not ready. I sat in our kitchen and kept going on and on to Sean about how I wasn’t ready and seriously could not do that right now. He kept saying, “I know honey. I’m on your side, remember?” HA! After I was having trouble with my milk supply and Jack was having trouble with his latch while breastfeeding, we have cut out all bottles anyways. So for now, my little man will go with me where I go, and I’m fine with that.

He is becoming a lot more flexible since I ditched the schedule. I just feed him where ever we are when he needs to eat, and we have found that he really likes to sleep in restaurants. Guess it is because of all the white noise there. There are times I can tell he has had enough and just needs to go home to his own bed. Like at church this Sunday… I nursed him as soon as we got there and ended up spending most of Sunday School in the hallway with him because he was fussy. So, I just told Sean we needed to go home after they finished the lesson. It’s so great getting to know my son. I’m learning his cues and his cries. I know best what he needs and when he needs it. We are getting so confident being together, and I just really enjoy being his mommy!
