Day 56

Tuesday 9/29/09
Today Daddy had to go to some meetings out of town and he took our car, so we couldn't go anywhere. We had to meet up with the Bigler's to take their family photo, but on top of the fact that we didn't have a car, the stroller was in the trunk of the car, so I carried you in your carrier to the park...and boy you are getting heavy. I weighed you on our scale and you are pushing 13 or 14 pounds not. Our scale isn't digital so it is hard to read exactly, but I know you are GROWING!
Also, while we were playing today I was able to catch a GREAT smile picture! I LOVE that you are smiling at me more and more. You are also starting to play with your tongue more...it is cute.

Day 55

Monday 9/28/09
Another day around the house with Mommy...play time, naps, tummy time, and eating. I really enjoy every minute with you, watching you grow and learn new things. One of my favorite things is your laugh, sometimes when you are laughing you cough a little...it is too cute. Then dinner at the Bigler's.

Day 54

Sunday 9/27/09
At church today you would NOT sleep...which stressed Mommy out a little bit because I had to make copies for Relief Society and then conduct the Relief Society meeting. Daddy tried to take you for a while but then handed you off because you were crying and needed me. It all worked out in the end. One of the women in RS held you for a little while and I had to pry you out of her arms. You are just too cute, no one wants to give you up.
One of your new favorite things during play time is for me to sing you songs with hand motions. Your favorite is "Itsy Bitsy Spider" because the spider climbs up over your head and you like to look up at it.

Day 53

Saturday 9/26/09
Didn't to anything note worthy today but I just MARVEL at how much I LOVE you! and how everyday I love you more and more. It is indescribable how much I care for you and how I think you are the cutest little guy ever.

Day 52

Friday 9/25/09
Today we played a lot in the morning...we practiced our "smiles," we had some time in the "GYM" (baby gym of course), and some "tummy time." I was trying to capture a smile on camera, which was hard because you will smile at me but when I put a camera in front of my face you stop. I finally caught this cute smile and I got some video.
Your MILESTONE for the day was that you grabbed and held onto a toy on your own!!! I was so excited.

Day 51

Thursday 9/24/09
Today you had a ROUGH day...something was making you not feel well at all. Normally you are an excellent night sleeper and were down to only waking up once a night, but last night you were up every 2 hours screaming. Most of the time you were not hungry, something was just bugging you inside and you needed to be comforted back to sleep. Then during the day you had similar problems. I have been reading my "Babies First Year" book and thought that maybe you could be dehydrated so I fed you A LOT today. Towards the end of the day I was nervous so I called the Doctor. He said he did not think you were dehydrated since you were having wet diapers and to wait through the night and if in the morning you were still having the same problems to call and make an appointment. After not having really any naps through the day you finally zonked out around 6pm and got a nap in. We will see how the night goes. I hope you feel better!!!!

Day 50

Wednesday 9/23/09
We went to help the Bigler's unpack today...pretty uneventfal for you, but you had a MASSIVE blow out while we were there. You rarely have one, at this point in your life I could probably count them on one hand.
In the evening while snuggling you to bed I had Daddy take a picture of us, since I'm usually the one taking the pictures.
