Dylan update

6 week pics.

Bath time this morning after he peed EVERYWHERE. Me, the walls, his bed, etc. hehe.




This is the look that MELTS my heart. Everytime I give him a bath it's like he looks up at me for reassurance that he will be ok. Such a sweetie!

He loves his swing. You would never know that right before this you would have thought he was going to stop breathing he was crying so hard. haha.



Well, little man is doing GREAT. We had our first bad week, but it's all trial and error so we are getting through it. We are strill trying to figure out a good schedule for him and when to put him to bed, etc. We have been putting him to bed alittle late like 11:30 and it seemed to work but he sleeps until like 11am! (not all at once of course, but he does not want to get up before then). So then I was like sure I can sleep in but what about after I go back to work, I can't stay up until midnight or later every night and sleep in. So last night we put him to bed at 9:30. It was actually really nice to have a few hours before bed to do whatever we needed to do. He fell asleep great and we stayed up watching a few shows we like together until 10:30 and we got a chance to talk and stuff, we don't get to do that often. :) So we are thinking we like this schedule better. Also, I don't think I was pumping enough last week and I wasn't producing enough milk for him so he was hungry all of the time. I would feed him, then he would fall asleep, then he would wake up 30 mins later starving and screaming. So I felt like I was feeding him all day and he was grumpy all day long. It was draining. So then I thought, maybe I could exclusively pump and give him bottles so we always know he's getting enough. HAHA!! one day of that and I was like no way!! I was stuck to the chair pumping most of the day, it was horrible. So nix that idea! Well the past few days I have been doing everything I can to produce more and I think it's working. He's a happy little baby right now playing on his mat all by himself. We had a few bad nights in there but we came through ok. :)
Dylan does the creepiest thing. He sleeps with his eyes open!! and when he's sleeping he will open his eyes alittle and they will roll back in his head. So freaky!
He's gaining weight for sure, I can tell when I hold him. He's holding his head up awesome! he's almost out grown the little while onesies we had him in. They are getting snug. my little boy is already growing up!! hehe. He will be 6 weeks on Monday!

That's about it here. Him and I went on our first walk last night. He was a bit fussy so I put him in the stroller and looked at everything around him at first but then fell asleep. sweet baby.

I just got a second call back for an interview with Crown Imports. They are the makers of lots of beers like Corona, Negra Modela, St. Pauly's Girl and a few others. The position seems like a pretty fun but challening one, so I'm really excited. I'm having sad thoughts of leaving Dylan, but I just think it's best for us for me to start having some income and then for me to get back into the working world. I don't know if I'm the stay at home mom type. I mean I would love it, but I just feel like I would eventually need more interaction from people on a daily basis. I don't feel that way at all right now and feel sad for leaving him but I think I would eventually, just knowing myself.

We are headed on our first road trip to Austin in a few weeks too. I'm so excited to bring him there and show him off to everyone and also nervous about making the drive with the 3 dogs and him. They have plenty of room in the very back though so I think we will be ok. Unless we get someone to feed them for us. We might do that too. We aren't sure.
