Now You're My Whole Life

I'm 14 weeks.  I smile big and do a little tiny laugh.  If my paci falls out and it's close by, I can push it back in.   I suck down bottles if they are warm enough to my liking! Thanks Miss Kimberly for introducing Mom to a bottle warmer. I still prefer to be nursed.   I love to blow bubbles with my mouth.  I am pulling myself up and about 45° away from sitting all the way up to 90° position.    I like to play with bright colored objects. I really like the spiky ball from Carter's. I am beginning to get a little bit better with tummy time. That used to really annoying.  We took our family photos and I did excellent… Thank God they were only 20 minutes!   {Michele is awesome! Here's a sneak peek!} I love car rides and probably fall asleep within five minutes down the road.

I brought a bottle over to our neighbor Christine's home on Saturday and Kimberly offered to warm it up in her bottle warmer. Vann took it without one second of hesitation. Guess what I bought at Target yesterday? A bottle warmer! I'm still nursing, but this is going to help us his frozen supply in the morning when we are on a tighter schedule.  {Ava Kate will be here soon!} Sleep: Vann has been sleeping through the night from 9 pm until 5:30/6 am for two-three weeks now! We give him a bath around 8, I nurse him, and he sleeps on Ryan while we watch a tv show before bed. Then, I swaddle him up and out him to bed. H...

I am linking up with sweet Kelly today on her Advice for Moms post. As a new mother I only have 12 weeks experience being the mom to the cutest little boy, but my advice may help even the most seasoned mama. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF! This is not only true for new mamas but just women in general. We are made to be unique and that means our parenting style is going to be different than other mamas. It doesn't mean what we do is right or wrong, we use whatever works for our little one. The world is hard enough without us having to look at others and think "they have it all together", "why does my baby cry and theirs doesn't make a peep", "how come mine doesn't sleep through the night"...and doubt ourselves as moms. It's not worth it. We are all good at something and have talents that are special to us. Guess What? Your child thinks you are SUPER MOM! They know NO different! GO WITH YOUR GUT! Of course you are going to be bom...
