Jadyn says the funniest things...

A while ago, I told Jadyn that maybe he would get a robe for Hanukkah. The other morning he was wearing my robe and he said, "Mommy, we have to get a robe at Hanukkah's house." He thinks Hanukkah is a person. Haha.

Today in the shower, Jadyn started laughing hysterically because he was peeing on me. I had to tell him that we don't pee on people because it's gross. He just laughed and said it was funny.

As I think of other funny things, I will post them.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

Cameron is 4 months old. He started rolling over on Daddy's birthday (just 2 days before he was 4 months old). He can roll both ways but it is much easier for him to roll from his back to his belly. He is already trying to get his legs under his butt to start crawling. Of course he isn't even close to crawling but he is trying to get the positioning. It won't be too long before he gets it.

He had his doctor's appointment today. He is 16lbs 0.5 oz and 25 1/4 inches. This is the size Jadyn was at 6 months. Cameron has thrush again. The doctor said that thrush is like a weed and if you don't get it completely, it will keep coming back. Otherwise, he is perfect. We are going to start trying cereal soon. I am still nursing him. He doesn't love the bottle but he will take it. He HATES formula! So right now, I have just been pumping at work. My goal was to nurse him for 6 months. So hopefully I will keep this up for 2 more months. He was sleeping through the night until I started work. Because he doesn't love the bottle, he isn't eating as well during the day which means he wants to eat more at night. He also won't take a pacifier so he is using me as his pacifier (and I let him because honestly, it is just easier).

Jadyn had a great time for Halloween! He was a policeman and he loved knocking on the door to say trick or treat. For some reason, Jadyn hasn't been sleeping well at night. I guess I used to be spoiled that he went to bed easy and stayed there until 9 or so. Now, he fights to go to bed and he tries to come into our bed at night. I know we have to be consistent but honestly, sometimes we are just to tired to fight it. Hopefully this is just a short phase!!

Mocha is getting so big. She is about 50 lbs now and very tall. She graduated from her puppy training course and will start the next one at the end of this month. She has been so much better. Of course she is still a puppy with some puppy habits but overall, she is much better. We still need to work on the jumping. She loves to jump on people.

We are lookig forward to the holidays coming up. We hope everyone is doing well!

Back to the grind...

It has been a crazy 3 months since Cameron was born. A quick recap - Latte died and we got a new puppy, both Ivan's grandmother and my grandmother passed away. Cameron had gotten sick and was admitted into the hospital for a few days. Cameron, Jadyn and I have all had a few doctors appointments. We have had a ton of visitors. We have had all of that plus our normal stuff of Ivan working, Jadyn going to school, having a newborn, training a puppy, etc. It has definitely been busy.

Yesterday was my first official day back to work. Thankfully my manager has been great and let me transition back into everything. Next week I will only be working Monday and Friday because Cameron's babysitter will be out of town. As far as the updates go....

Cameron is 3 months old today. It is amazing how time flies. Unofficially he is about 15 lbs. He is such a chunker. Overall he is really a good baby. He prefers to lay down on the floor instead of being in the swing or the bouncer (of course he really prefers to be held). He seems to love noise. He is always calm when he hears the shower running or any white noise like that. He still HATES the car. It has gotten a little better but not great. He is smiling so much and starting to laugh out loud. It is so cute. I am still nursing him. We have started to give him some formula because that is what he will have at the babysitter's. He drank the formula just fine at first but now he is hesitant. We did change to the Costco brand formula so maybe he doesn't like it. A few nights ago he slept through the night. I fed him at about 10:30 and he fell asleep in the swing. I moved him to his room at about 12 and he slept until 6:30. He hasn't slept that well again but he does sleep about 5 hours, eats, and then sleeps another 3 hours or so. Overall, I really can't complain about his sleeping. He is going to be staying at a babysitter's house on Tues, Wed, and Thurs while I am back at work and Ivan is going to have the boys Fridays. In January, Cameron will probably go to the same daycare as Jadyn.

Jadyn is still being a great big brother and loving on Cameron so much. He is going on a cruise with grandma and pop-pops in the beginning of Oct. He is so excited to be going on a plane and on a very big boat.

Mocha is 4 months old. She still acts like a puppy but she is doing so much better. We have been to 2 training classes. They had to cancel 3 in a row but we will be back to class on Monday.

With me going back to work, Ivan and I are just trying to figure out the routine that works for us.

Well I hope everyone is well. Talk to you soon...
