Getting ready for Thanksgiving!!

Here's my little turkey!!

We're having Thanksgiving at our house this year, which is very exciting!!!  It will be Callen's first Thanksgiving!!!

I love that I am going to be getting art projects for the fridge now!!  :D  Although I did freak out this morning when we were getting Callen ready for his bath!  I couldn't figure out how he got dirt under his toenails!  Later in the day I realized it was the brown paint from the art project!  lol

This past weekend, Callen went to his first birthday party!  It was a Samantha's 6th birthday and it was a girl party, but he went!  It made me thankful that I have a little boy!!  Little girls go nuts over Frozen!!!

Lately Callen has been watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Netflix in the morning.  There is only 1 episode on Netflix, so Brian and I are getting kind of tired of it, but Callen loves it!  He starts waving his arms up and down when they sing the "Hot Dog" song (when we don't have him in his "Taco Shell").

Other than that, we've just been trying to get into a routine!  It's more regular than it used to be, but it's still not rock solid!

Check back for more pictures of my little turkey from his first Thanksgiving!!  :D

My kid is awesome!

It's a quarter after 5 and my kid is awesome because he is still sleeping!!  :P  He woke up to nurse at 3:30ish but went back to sleep after about 10 minutes!  We left him in his bear suit because his humidifier and the fan in the room make it really chilly in there.

We also took some pictures yesterday because Lite Mix 99.9 has a "Santa Baby" photo contest and I submitted a picture.

He has cute Thanksgiving outfits, so I will definitely be taking lots of pictures & posting them here!  

Brian and I have both been working hard lately.  Brian has been pretty stressed over a certain file and I pray that the loan closes soon so he isn't so stressed!  :)

Other than that, not much has been going on lately!  Just trying to adjust to life as a family of 4 (can't forget Max!)  :D

Busy, busy, busy!!

So I was thinking about how blogging is supposed to be more of a regular thing & how I'm not being very regular about it right now!  I hope everyone understands!  lol  It's been pretty busy lately!  We are pretty much in a routine now, but with Callen it can change at any moment!  Most nights he sleeps very well, waking up once to feed.  Sometimes he'll sleep from 8:00-7:00.  It just depends!

I've been working a few extra hours at work each week and trying to pump regularly to keep food for Callen on hand, so I have been a little more tired!  Everything is great & I wouldn't change it for the world!

Brian is being very helpful!  In fact, he is getting Callen as I type!  He met me at the grocery store last night so we could shop together.

I'll work on getting on here a little more, but I can't promise anything!!  We are busy!!  :D

Busy, busy, busy week!!

We've had a very busy week!!  Last Monday was my first day back to work in 2 months.  Callen went to daycare.  Everyone said I was going to cry like a baby.  Surprisingly, I did no such thing!  I walked in, put him down, said "See you later dude!" and he just looked at me like "Whatever."  I came back to get him at noon because he had a doctors appointment, so that probably helped, but I did not cry at all!  Yay for me!!  :P

Callen is 2 months old now!!  I can't believe it!!  Time is flying by!!

Callen really seems to like daycare.  His teachers, Ms. Sherry & Ms. Jessica, are really nice and they like to spoil him!  :D  They take really good care of him too!  He gets "Tummy Time" while he's there, which is really good because we don't do it at home as much as I'd like to.

I've also been working a little more than a regular day because we are short one person on our team at work a little earlier than we expected.  But Christmas is right around the corner, so the extra money will help a lot!!  :)

Callen is getting so big!!  Brian took him out Christmas shopping with him today.  :)  I received a text with a picture of Callen being changed in the family bathroom at the mall.  I hope they're having a great day!

Callen really enjoys watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Brian is such an awesome father, that he turns on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on his phone for Callen to watch it while they sit in the bed.  :)

& he fell asleep!

He loves bedtime!!  He knows he gets a clean diaper, jammies & lotion!!  :)

He is sleeping like a champ too!!  I usually get 6-8 hours of sleep each night!  & when he does wake up, it's usually around the same time every night.  Our kid is awesome!  :P

Been Busy!!!

We had a pretty busy weekend!  We went to Kelley and Jason's on Halloween to visit & all of the ladies loved on Callen a bit...even Uncle Sean held Callen for a few minutes!  :)

Then on Saturday I started freaking out because Callen started coughing and sounded congested.  Brian & I took him to Pensacola Pediatrics over by Cordova Mall.  The doctor who was there wasn't Callen's regular doctor and said he was fine.  I wasn't convinced he was fine and decided to get a humidifier and just wait until Monday when he sees Dr. Foland.  Here's Callen showing off at the doctor's!

On Sunday we didn't go to church since Callen's breathing was still sounding congested and then Brian didn't feel good.  So I had 2 "sick" babies to take care of.  At least Max was still himself!  He loved his new Moose toy that we bought him!

Then today was my first day back to work!  I dropped Callen off at daycare with Ms. Sherry & did not even cry!!  Callen was ready to go this morning!

I picked Callen up at 12:15 for his doctor's appointment at 1:00.  Ms. Bonnie said that Ms. Sherry was carrying Callen around, showing him off all morning!  :D  Ms. Sherry said that he had a good first day and they were very impressed with how well he could hold his head up and how vocal he was!  

Callen was excited to see Dr. Foland.  He likes her a lot!!  He's also grown a lot!  He weighs 10 pounds, 12.6 ounces and is 22 1/2 inches long.  

He got his vaccinations done today.  He didn't like that too much but he was ok after a few minutes.  Our next appointment is our 4 month check up in January!  :D

After we left Dr. Foland's office, we stopped at Advanced Women's Care to see Brandy and pick up the Ohio State Scentsy warmer I ordered!  :D  Now we are home, Callen's napping, Brian is napping & I am going to go take a nap as well in a few minutes!!  :)
