| We are getting close to being able to sit up on our own! |
Last week, we had a lunch date with sweet Miss Caroline and her mommy Katrina (the babies are 9 days apart). Both babies did great! We also found out our friend Abby had her little boy, Brady. He's a cutie with a full head of hair. We can't wait for our playdates together! AND we found out our friend Liz is having a BOY! So, there will be another boy joining the playgroup in Sept.
Last Wed we dropped Daddy off at the airport SUPER early. Jack wasn't very happy about his interrupted sleep and that set the tone for the day. Thursday we took our road trip up to Dallas. I wasn't so much nervous about the drive solo since he slept the entire way when we drove to Huntsville. I was most nervous about the packing by myself...for 3 people. Packing for a baby (not to mention one that spits up quite often) is stressful. 3 changes of clothes per day for him, a couple for me since I'm usually covered in spit up as well, all the meds, his sleeper, the playmat, the carrier, the stroller, diapers, wipes, monitor, chargers, the list goes on...and on. To my surprise, I actually remembered everything!! Jack decided he wanted nothing to do with this drive though. He didn't eat much before we left and cried anytime I put him down. He fell asleep before we left, so I thought I could get halfway there at least before he woke up. WRONG. He was up 1.5 hours into the trip and screaming for food. Of course he decides to do this when we are just out of the little town we passed, no exit and nowhere safe to pull of. So, he had to cry for a bit before we found a good place. This happened 2 other times on the way to Dallas. The last time was 30 min from Molly's and Bubbas. He wasn't really interested in food, he was just ready to get the hek out of that carseat...I can't say I blame him.
The weekend in Dallas was great. We ate some delicious food and got to visit with the family and Jack met his first dog(s). We went to trade days with Auntie Molly (which Jack just slept through). Jack got to meet his Auntie Maribel, Uncle Dwight, cousins Jake, Ava, Diana and Jason and then of course his Great Grandmother. Mama Mac was so funny waiting for Jack to wake up. Jack didn't sleep much the first two days we were there, and was finally semi back in his napping routine when we got to Mimi and Pops house. This would have been great, except his Mama Mac was ready to meet him! Usually Jack wakes up right as we are eating, nope, not that day. He was sound asleep until just after dinner and then it was time for the grand introduction. It was so cool to see my grandmother holding my son. We are officially old. HAHA!
The drive home was a piece of cake- of course because Jon was back in town. We stopped once to feed the little guy and have him play a little outside of his carseat and then we were back on the rode.
He has definitely started teething. He is so drooly and wants any and everything in his mouth. He has a death grip too. He hasn't quite gotten his coordination down yet so we have to hold whatever it is he wants in his mouth. He still doesn't really care for pacifiers (which is fine by me) and isn't a thumb sucker yet (again, fine by me) but instead puts his whole fist in his mouth :)
Since we've been home, he's started sleeping 10-11 hours straight at night (YAY!!!) and hasn't been putting up much of a fight with his naps either. He's been spending more time in his bouncer thing- he just still has to stand on the box haha. I'm still waiting for his giggle, but we think it should be sometime soon.
Our next adventure is swimming this weekend! We are so excited to get him in the pool. Hopefully, he will enjoy it as well. We will be sure to take pictures.
We also booked our tickets for Pittsburgh in June! Lord help me fly with an infant. I'm already having anxiety about it. We are so excited to get to Pittsburgh though. He has met his grandparents there (Tinga and PopPop) but he hasn't met his Uncle Howard (I think this is his great, great uncle??), as well as his other Aunts and Uncles, and then the crazy college crew. CJ is going to be in town too so we will get to visit with her. It will be a big weekend!
Well, have a great week!
Lots of Love,
The Waags
