My Once Upon a Time...

 45 weeks old!   I always said I would never force my baby to take creepy pictures with the Easter Bunny. Well, there are a lot of things I said I'd never do when I had kids, so there you go. At least he took it better than Santa. Let's hope he forgives me when he sees these pictures one day!        

 Day 78 Dinner at Oreganos with my sweet family! It's been so easy lately to take Fox with us, he just sits in his high chair and eats his food. Big Boy!  Day 79   Toes for Dessert anyone?  Day 80   Love him to pieces! Excuse my squeaky voice, but I was so proud of my little guy, putting the balls back in the toy each and every time! He's learning so much these days, it's truly mind blowing! Day 81   Katie and I spent Fox's naptime building this Activity board for him. I take no credit for installing all of the items, all I did was paint the stripes and decorate it when it was all said and done. I'm so glad Katie is so handy with a drill and installed all of these things in no time! Day 82   Gone are the days where I could leisurely stroll through Target with a content baby for an hour. Now he wants to stand in the cart, help me push it and take all of the shoe boxes off the shelves. Sigh! Day 83 ...

 Day 71 Grandma & Grandpa came over to hang out with the little guy for a bit. Fox always has so much fun with grandpa!  Day 72   Playdate with friends at the park! Day 73   3am...Party in Fox's crib! He usually sleeps straight through the night, so this was very weird. Luckily he went right back to sleep after a little snack!  Day 74   Katie has been talking about getting some climbing blocks for Fox for a while now and finally got them. He has been climbing all over the place ever since...he loves it!  Day 75   Fox's new Ride!  Day 76 An afternoon at the park!  Day 77  Matthias sent us this picture from Gym Class. We found out that our neighborhood gymnastics place offers free gym classes for babies 6-18 months, so Matthias has been taking him for a couple of weeks now. I wish I could go with him, but I'm also glad they are able to get out of the house and have fun there! ...

 44 weeks old! Happy St. Patrick's Day from our lucky Charm!               Like Mother, like son: We like cereal!             Love these two so much!   Katie is always teaching him the most important life skills!          Peace, Bro!

 43 weeks old!    

Health: Healthy as can be! Nicknames:   Big Honey, Baby Honey, Bubba, Schatzi, Bubbles, Mr. Fox, Foxy, Pumpkin, Stinky Butts, Poodle, Big Huns Eating:   I nurse Fox first thing in the morning, he gets 2 bottles (6oz each) while I’m at work (which I’m now trying to cut to one bottle by spacing out the feeding time to 4 hours), I nurse him when I get back home and then again before bedtime. This month, I also dreamfed Fox once per night (at 1am), but I decided to try letting him go without any food at night and see how he does. The dreamfeed was more for me than him, just to know that he’s not hungry when he cries in the middle of the night. Hopefully I can report that he made the transition smoothly when I update again next month, so far it's been a week and he's been doing great! He eats three solid meals a day and maybe a snack in between. He’s been doing so much better with trying different foods and actually liking other things than carbs. K...
