Only a few more days with my sweet baby before I go back to work :(
We took him to the mall last week. He loved it! All the things! I think he gets bored at home sometimes. Such an ordeal taking him out though, especially since he’s the only baby who doesn’t love car rides. We did put on Christmas music on the way home from the mall which, combined with his exhaustion, lulled him into a sleep. Going to try taking him to Kohls maybe today.
He laughs and grabs at toys now. This morning we were playing with his giraffe and he was smiling! Speaking of smiles, this morning he was sleeping and I saw he kicked off his blanket. I went over to him and he was awake a looked very distressed. He saw me and flashed me the biggest smile :)
I also showed him his baby artwork book this morning which brought out an “oooooh.” And read him the story of the gingerbread man which he seemed to really enjoy.
Yesterday wasn’t as good. His reflux was bad and I couldn’t get him to nap. He sleeps really well at night, he’s been doing at least a five hour stretch every night, but naps have been tough. Ice been letting him sleep on me so he sleeps at all, but I really have to pee right now and my arm is asleep.
I actually prefer he wakes up once during the night, otherwise I need to get up and pump and the pump doesn’t put me back to sleep like he does :-/
Aw it’s so awesome that he laughs as well as smiles! He’s really starting to develop his own little personality. It’s great to hear that you went out to the mall! A change of scenery is always nice. :) I hope you enjoy your last bit of maternity leave with your awesome baby boy.
