It's Cold AGAIN!

Have I said I'm ready for warmer weather? Oh, man! It's supposed to be 25 degrees at 8 a.m. this morning. I am ready for those really nice days when it's t shirt weather in the sun and jacket weather in the shade. I can only hope we'll have a lot of those nice in between days.

Tuesday was an alright day for me at least. Auggie was up all day and didn't really take a nap. He was good for the most part. :)  We had an appointment with a dietician from ECI (Early Childhood Intervention). She was very happy with Auggie's eating habits. On the 5 day average, he's eating 26 ounces a day- which is right in line with the average baby (22-30 oz). She was impressed he didn't have any problems with a cleft lip or anything. She weighed and measured Auggie- 12.2 lbs and 23.75 inches long! He's moving on up! He's at the 25 percentile with his weight and in between the 25 and 50 percentile with height. The dietician will be back on March 1 just to make sure things are continuing to go well.

Wednesday was a good day. Auggie had slept for a straight 5 hours Tuesday night! We were surprised and we didn't even know he had slept through until he woke us up. Auggie napped throughout the day... nothing too long, of course. He wanted to be held most of the time- especially after our little photo shoot. I wasn't able to get anything done until Tim came home at 3. I was able to work on some cards while Tim played with Auggie.

While Auggie took one of his short naps, I took some photos of the birds that were hanging out in the backyard.

When Auggie woke up, I figured it was time to take his 3 month pictures... Maybe his 4 month pictures will be the good ones. I put him on his tummy to see if he'd smile once but he got really upset the moment I turned him over.

Just missed a smile

Tummy pictures are still a no go

And that was the end of our photo shoot

Auggie slept the rest of the day. Tim tried waking him up to keep him up so we weren't up with him for the whole night (I write these out Wednesday night so we'll see how it turns out!). He only woke up to eat. He also kind of woke up just to cry for a few seconds and then would fall back asleep.

So until next Tuesday! We'll see how this weekend goes!

Fun but short weekend

Hope everyone's weekend treated them well... Tim & I had a great Saturday in Dallas.  My friend, Jamie, had a baby shower (she's due at the end of February) and I figured it was a good time to see our Dallas friends. While I was at the shower, Tim went out with Kevin, Marco, Karl, and Big Tim (and possibly other guys). I loved what I gave to Jamie. I really hope she liked it, too... but not too much to not take it apart! (Friday, I'll post a little how to)

The diaper cake topper

While we were there, Jamie & Kevin gave us what they had gotten Auggie- an Australia Wallabies onesie! I'll be getting better pictures later this week- I'll have to do laundry since Auggie spit up right after Tim put the outfit on him. When Tim showed me the onesie, I was excited about the front (with the Wallabies logo) and then he showed me the back! I was super excited about that! I'll have to get pictures of Tim in his Wallabies jersey holding Auggie. Thanks Jamie & Kevin!!

It was so nice doing dinner with Blair, Reagan, Karl, Marco, Jamie, Kevin, Matt & Angela while we were there. It is definitely one thing I miss about most of us being in Nacogdoches. It'll be nice once Jamie has Colin- Colin, Auggie & Reagan will be able to play together at SFA's Alumni game each year! If the stars align themselves correctly, Colin might be exactly 3 months younger than Auggie. Auggie is exactly 3 months younger than Reagan. CUTE!

My mom babysat Auggie while we spent the day in Dallas. She said he did great! She was able to take a couple nice pictures with her new iPhone4 (yea, I know! My mom has an iPhone4). She has another picture of him sticking out his tongue that I'll get from her and I'll post it on Thursday.

He looks as if he's worried we left him with Gramma! ;)

Sleeping great for Gramma!

Sunday was a lazy day for us. My mom and I went to Toys R' Us and Michael's to do a little shopping but since the weather was nasty, we didn't stay out too long.
Monday morning we had an Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) representative come out to get Auggie set up for his weekly weight checks. ECI sounds like a great program. They have different therapists available for home visits to help kids under 3 years old. From what she was saying, ECI will help him with speech and other areas needed until he's 3 and then prep him for the transition into school. It sounds like a great program!

So that was our weekend. Going back to Saturday- I have finally gotten the push I need to get Honeybee Creations up and running... at least the craft side of it. At Jamie's baby shower, one of the girls asked if I had a business card. I could have kicked myself after that! So now, I am in the process of making an Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/HBeeCreations) and I will be doing business cards shortly after it is running. I'll be putting my handmade cards (like these) and some graphic design work (like announcements, invitations, etc) up soon. I'll make an announcement when that is all done.

I'll post some more on Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!
