2-3 months

We have had a busy month!  I took Watson to Albany and visited my dad and grandparents a few weeks ago then headed to Macon for a "Sip and See" that Gloria and Rick had to introduce Watson to their friends and family.  It all went really well- he traveled great!  We have ventured out a little more.  We took him to dinner 3 times and he did good, it's just such a hassle to get everything together!  He goes to bed now at 7:30 and gets up almost on the dot at 7:30 am.  We still don't have a great daytime routine, but that is okay given how good he sleeps at night!  Watson is smiling and laughing all the time.  He makes new noises daily that Jason and I enjoy watching and hearing!  He loves all of his toys and the newest thing are the Baby Einstein DVD's.  He LOVES it!  And I am a big fan too because he will watch it, laugh, squeal in delight at the stupid little pictures that pop up...while I enjoy my coffee and breakfast!  We got a baby float and took him to the pool yesterday.  He wasn't a big fan at first.  I think this is because it wasn't as warm as his bath water.  But it didn't take long before he was enjoying it and even was kicking his little legs.  He floated around in the pool and then fell asleep in his stroller after.  I go back to work next Tuesday!  Hard to believe 12 weeks have come and gone!!  I am excited but will miss my little guy.  I am thankful that I have a job that allows me to work in an office part time so I can get away some but still have time with my baby.  Click the link below to see our latest pictures.

10 weeks old!

I can't believe Watson is already 10 weeks old!  The time has FLOWN by!  We had his 2 month well check visit last Monday.  He was 12 lb 2 oz.  So much for me being so worried about him gaining weight slowly.  The little guy gained 3 lbs in the past month!  I know how...he eats every 2 hours in the a.m. and then goes to every 3 hours in the afternoon.  I can't complain b/c he is sleeping 12 hours at night!!  We put him down around 7:30 or 8:00 pm and he gets up at around 7:30 am.  He is such a cutie!  I just love snuggling with him!  He did great getting all of his shots at the doctor appointment- cried a little but I nursed him and he fell right to sleep. 
We went on a tour of south GA this past week.  I left on Wednesday and went to Albany to visit my dad Wed- Thurs.  We had a nice visit and then I stopped by my grand parents on Thursday.  They really appreciated me stopping in to let them see Watson again.  I headed up to Macon after that visit and was there Thurs- Sun.  Jason came to Macon on Fri.  His sister was in town for a "Sip n' See" party that Jason's parents had on Saturday to introduce Watson to their friends.  Watson was so good at the party!  I was so proud of him!! 
He still has problems with reflux but the medication keeps him from being in pain and miserable.  I am lucky to work at a peds GI office b/c they have been taking care of him and are sending me samples of the meds so we don't have to buy them (our insurance didn't want to pay for it!). 
I will upload some new pics when I get a chance.

Getting Bigger!

Watson will be 2 months old next week!!  Things are getting easier as we get used to him and his personality.  He has been sleeping about 10 hours/night most nights now that we have a good bedtime routine down.  We are still working on a daytime schedule with naps and what is going to work best for him.  He has started noticing toys and laughing at them in the past 2 weeks which is really fun for us to watch.  It also helps us with having some hands free time because he can entertain himself with the toys that hang above his bouncy seat and playmat.  He was 11 pounds last week when I took him in to see one of my fave GI docs.  His refulx was acting up again so I took him in and we adjusted the dose of his meds.  This made a big difference for him.  Jason and I had our first date night since Watson was born this past Saturday night!!  My mom came and babysat for us while we went to Eclipse di Luna.  This was our first dinner date 7 years ago and now was our first post baby dinner date!  I am posting some more pictures below!
