Happy "4" Months...and my 1st COLD!!!
I just feel Yucky but this doesn't bother me Mom!!
Just hanging out trying to get better!!
I LOVE my HANDS!!!
OK - I know this is the first time I missed a WHOLE week...I might just start blogging every two weeks now....getting busy now that I am back at work ( semi-back)!!
So when I left you last I was leaving for a meeting and staying the first night away....Boo Hoo!! It was really weird to be gone the whole night and as you can imagine I did NOT sleep the night away. I woke up at the same times I do with him everynight BUT I DID NOT have to jump out of bed these times!!! So instead I sat there a moment thinking what Ross and Jaxton were probably doing....Jaxton decided to get up more than usual and also wet through his diaper and clothes and both were up at 5:45! Other than that everything seemed to be ok. When I talked to Ross that morning he said , " Jaxton, I don't know how your Mommy does this everyday!" BUT when I got home that night Ross also made the comment , " You can do it because when you love someone that much you just do it"...EXACTLY!!!
Unfortunately for Jaxton my plan to start him on cereal that weekend was BLOCKED by the good ole Rhinovirus!!! This is Jaxton's FIRST time to get sick and the poor little guy has been SOOOOOO good though it all. Even though he can barely breathe to suck down his bottle he has been all smiles and laughs. Baby 411 ( a great book ) said if you can get any baby 3 months and older to smile then they are not that sick....thank goodness we got some smiles!! The doctor said to just use saline drops and the suction bulb and a humidifier. So I tried the Warm Steam vaporizer first which seemed to help one night and then not the next so I went and got a Cool Mist Humidifier which seems to be helping ( supposed to break up the mucus and open up his bronchial passage ways). I know the best thing he can do is to just try to sleep it off and he sure has with more naps during the day!!
And what would you know....Ross and I both have gotten the same cold....too many kisses for Jaxton BUT I just can't resist...oh well....at least we get to take some over-the-counter symptom relief which really helps...Tylenol Cold for Nighttime and Daytime is the BEST!!
In all this mess Jaxton is still trying to roll over completely...he is rolling from back to side easily and almost makes it all the way over but hasn't figured out how to move his arms out of the way yet. BUT would you believe it if I told you he actually LIKES tummy time now!!!! I think because his neck has gotten strong enough where he can hold it up at 90 degrees and actually see what is ahead of him. Ross gets in front of him and sings so he will keep it up for awhile and it seems to be working.
One incredible thing Jaxton was doing at 4 months was imitating me doing a motorboat sound with my mouth!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it at first BUT then when I did it and then he did it back OVER and OVER again I was in complete amazement he was able to figure that out!! I guess I need to step up the learning lessons to more ADVANCED stuff!! This week he justs wants to hear his voice with lots of squeals!!
He is now grasping a toy out of my hand and then holding it with BOTH of his hands and then putting it in his mouth to chew on.......Hopefully he will do this more often because he is eating his hands all up.........to the point where he has gotten his thumb down too far and made himself gag and spit-up!! Geez!!!
As you can maybe see his hair is starting to come back....it looks like it will be light brown...I think!!!
He goes to the Doctor this week ( Jan 29th ) for his 4 month old shots and to get WEIGHED!!! I wonder how much that will be???
Then on Friday ( Jan 30th ) I will find out if I still am employed on not...either way I know I will be fine....I have put it into GOD's hands because he knows BEST!!
