More Houston

Nicknames: Boo-Boo, Baby Doll, Shrimp, Boss, Pip-Squeak - pretty cheesy, I know! What hormones and babies will cause us to resort to!

Other acknowledgments:

He sleeps pretty well at night. Although he's not sleeping through the night, he only wakes up to eat, and then goes back to sleep most of the time. However, it's difficult for me to settle back to sleep each time I get up. But who am I to complain, he's worth it!

He loves his mobile in his room. He will lay in his bed and look at it for 30-45 minutes at a time.

He spits up quite a bit! But then all of my children did. (I had him on his changing table yesterday, and bent down to give him a kiss - just in time to get spit up in my mouth - eewww!)

He has the cutest facial expressions. He has this "eye-roll" thing that he does that is absolutely hilarious! He likes to pout his lips too, and it melts my heart.

The kids are doing pretty well with him. Hayley will sit and hold him sometimes. Hunter thinks he's cool, although he sleeps most of the time when they are home. He will enjoy him more once they can play, I think.

He has a good "awake period" from about 10:30a.m. to 12:30 or 1:00p.m., in which he sits on his boppy pillow in my lap and just looks around. This is our time to "talk."

It is still difficult to get things done around here. When he sleeps, I am either trying to catch up on my own rest, or I start getting things done, but don't get much further than washing his bottles, his clothes, and minor clean up. Then the kids get home, and it's time for homework, dinner, baths, etc. I am lucky if I get a shower most days - I know, eewww! But I am trying to just soak it all in and enjoy it. I feel that I was constantly looking forward to the next milestone with Hayley and Hunter. I want to cherish every day, because he won't be this little much longer!

Here are some recent pictures, can you believe how much he's changed in less than 3 weeks?
