My Once Upon a Time...

19 weeks old!

Day 260 Fox with our co-worker Joelle! He is quite smitten with her, in case you can't tell! Day 261 Mr. Fox fell asleep while I was nursing him. I love his little sleepy smile and his "milk mustache" on the side of his face.  Day 262 We love bath time!  Day 263 We went to a Vintage Show and had so much fun! Katie bought herself an "Alice in Wonderland" Clock (as she calls it...to me it looks like a refurbished door handle with a key dangling from it...ha) and we also got a wooden Growth Chart Ruler for Fox's playroom. Day 264 More Shopping for Antiques left our little man exhausted! We found a small wooden rocking chair for Fox and some Christmas presents for Katie's mom! Day 265 I can't decide who is working harder! Day 266 I have no idea what he is doing here...funny boy!

18 weeks old! Obviously, this is so Katie's kid! Ha!  Big Honey got his 4-months shots and was such a trooper! Here he is showing off his foot grabbing skills and his spiderman bandaid! He is kind of obsessed with his feet right now, can you tell?

Day 253 Hello, 4-month sleep regression! After a week of literally no sleep, we did what every sleep deprived mom would do: We searched the internet for that magic solution! A couple of days later said solution arrived in the mail in form of "Magic Merlin's Sleepsack"...I mean, if it has the word magic in it, it must work, right?  It's supposed to hinder babies from startling themselves at night and I love my little baby astronaut! The first night, Fox slept a glorious eight hours straight, which was like a miracle in itself, since we got used to 1-hour intervals. The next few nights were not as good, but still better than before, so the jury is still out, if the Magic Sleepsack is truly magic!  Day 254 If it wasn't for Katie, I would eat cereal for dinner every day! She made Pumpkin Gnocci and we had her mom and brother over for dinner! It was so good! Day 255 Workin' for a Livin'! I keep telling him he needs to pull his weight at...

Weight: 14 lbs, 11 oz (32%) Height: 25 inches (40%) Health: He still has some eczema and cradle cap, which is not a big deal. We are so grateful for his health! Nicknames: Big Honey, Honeys, Baby Honey, Bubba, Baby Bird, Schaetzchen (german nickname), Bubbles, Mr. Fox, Foxy, Stinky Butts, Big Stinky Eating: We’re still breastfeeding and I’m loving it! He usually eats every 2-3 hours during the day and has been eating for longer periods than he has in the past. At night, it’s hit and miss. Some nights, he doesn’t wake up to eat at all and some nights he wakes up multiple times. We reduced the amount of bottles we give him, because I really hate to pump, so we are just trying to use some of the frozen breast milk before it expires (its only good for three months) and those nights I will pump in order to store some more “emergency milk”. I’ve been freaking out a lot about my milk supply, I always worry if I produce enough and if I should pump more often to...
