Exersaucer

Dr. is on nights for the rest of the month so it was just me and little bit today. He is growing so fast! Next week we have our four month check up and shots! Just today he started grabbing things and his little bathtub is getting too small because all he wants to do is push his legs on the end and try to get up!

It was great being home with him today so I could understand his napping schedule that he was doing at daycare. He takes his naps around 12 to 2 and then wants to go back to sleep at 4 for about and hour or two. That is why he has been going to sleep the second I pick him up from daycare. Last night he only woke up once at 2 am so we will see how tonight goes.

I decided I would pull the exer-saucer out today. I saw a little girl in one at daycare and she is only a few weeks older than Chuckster. He absolutely loved it. I didn't know if he was going to be able to hold himself up since his back muscles aren't strong enough yet. At first he just stood/sat there and then after a couple of minutes he was absolutely out of control. Loved every minute of it! Sometimes he would lean forward and play with the toys and sometimes he would lean back to relax. He was putting his feet flat on the floor and even turning his chair a little bit!

The movie is a little fuzzy because he was so excited he couldn't stop moving.

Both of us.

Daycare just wears Chuck out. I am not sure if he trusts taking a nap at daycare yet. The second I put him in his car seat he is asleep. He has been asleep since he got in the car. That means he has skipped eating, skipped bath time, skipped diaper changes. He must be so tired from listening to all the other babies and watching the crawl around. He has been asleep for about 7 hours now. We will see what the rest of the night has in store. I know once I go to sleep he will begin his ritual of waking up three times a night.

Dr. has a cold and fever ( probably the one I had last week) so I had to mow the yard today. Our house looked like it had been foreclosed on and I was scared the neighbors were going to vote us off of the street. It looked like no one lived in our house. So I took my big self out there and mowed the yard and used the weed eater for the big hill. It was actually tons of fun ( i did it without the bag so it was not hard to push). It really did something for my OCD.... maybe the designs I can make in the grass, or seeing the grass get shorter and shorter. Not to mention, it was great exercise too. I do have to say that I hate the weed eating part, and have always been scared of the weed eater. Besides grass flying in my face and all over me, it was really heavy. I will take responsibility for all the divots on the side of our hill. I just couldn't control that dang thing. Anyways, I am proud of myself. No lost toes, pant legs, or (unfortunately) love handles. So I am beat, going to veg in bed since my baby won't wake up and spend time snuggling with me.

Came across this quote and liked it:

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says... 'Oh shit...she's awake!!'

Since Dr. was working the past three days, I thought it would be a great opportunity to take little man to see Mobile for the first time! We had a wonderful trip. He slept the whole way there and the whole way back and we did not have to stop for one bottle!

Chuck got to meet his other great grandmother and also visit Miss Penny and Mr. John. He hung out with his cousins and did a little swimming in their pool!

( ATTN: do not use bumbo is water... it floats.... so that means the kid floats too!)
