Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween from Baby Mario!!  :D

8 weeks old today!!!

This sweet boy is 8 weeks old today!!  Time is flying by!!  :(

I have to go back to work on Monday.  I am ready but I'm not.  Who would want to leave this sweet face?!

            

We have a semi-busy day ahead!  I have therapy at 10:00 and then we are going to go over to see Tabitha & Garrett this afternoon for a walk.  Later we are heading to Nana's house to take the other bouncer chair we just bought so we have one at her house.  

Here's the face Callen made when I said "We are going to Nana's!"

Early morning photos!!

Sleeping

Cute little Thanksgiving outfit I found!

Happy Tuesday!!

We're off to a great start this morning!!  Callen fell asleep last night in his car seat on the way home from Suzie's house, so I just unbuckled him and put his car seat in the pack n play when we went to bed.  He slept until 3:30 this morning!!  Got him up, changed him, nursed him & had snuggle time for the next few hours.  Every time I would give him to Brian, I would get him back about 10-15 minutes later because he would be hungry again!  He ate three times between 3:30 & 8:00!  & when he would eat, he would sound like I haven't fed him in days!!  He would nurse for at least half an hour, sometimes a little longer.  He is sleeping in his bouncer right now.  :)

Since Callen is sleeping, I am getting a chance to straighten up a little and to update the blog.  I am working on getting all of the paper and mail organized/thrown away.  That is the bulk of what keeps our house looking crazy right now...all the junk mail on the table and counters!  I've also done the dishes and a little laundry.  I am going to work on getting the living room completely presentable next!  I also need to call Baptist and give them the new insurance information for the few medical bills we've received since Callen was born.

Here's a few pictures of my happy baby from this morning!!

And of course the sweet morning snuggle picture!  (Those are my favorite!!)

Great week ahead!!

It's my last week of maternity leave, so I am going to enjoy every second of it!!  I feel really accomplished today!  I took some of the supplies Callen will need up to Gonzalez Baptist Church for daycare.  He was able to meet his teachers, Ms. Sherry & Ms. Jessica.  I'm really excited that I found a place that is close to home and I know will take great care of Callen while Brian and I are at work.  :)

Callen and I also went to game night at Noonie's (Suzie).  We had Mexican for dinner and played Mario World on the Wii.  Then we came home and I realized that I was missing NCIS Los Angeles so Brian said we can watch it on CBS.com when it gets there.  :)

Weekend fun!!

We had a pretty great weekend!  We didn't do much, but it was still pretty great!!

Saturday morning, Callen, my mom & I walked the Breast Cancer Walk around Cordova Mall.  It was a lot of fun & good exercise for us!!

                               

We also visited Maw Maw & Paw Paw for a little while on Saturday.  Callen loves football!!!

We also we to our Life Group Social at Matthew and Kate's house.  We had stew and other goodies, watched football, & were going to carve pumpkins, but Brian, Callen & I left early because Callen was being a "Grumpkin"!  :)

Then we went to church Sunday morning and had a nice afternoon with Jamie and Ms. Jan.  

Callen & I went to bed around 9:30 yesterday and he woke up at 3:40 to nurse...then went back to sleep for a few hours.  :)

Getting things done!

Lucky for me Callen wanted to nap today!!  I have done the dishes and 3 loads of laundry!!  YAY!!  I also cooked a mid-morning snack/early lunch.  I think I am going to cook some chicken in a bit before I head to Target.  Brian wants me to get him a picture frame for his desk.  He wants to put a picture of Callen in it.  :D

I am trying to eat more because I don't want my milk supply to be skimpy.  Apparently several people have told me I need to eat more and I just don't remember this.  :/

Earlier, Callen had some tummy time on the couch next to me so he could work on building his neck muscles and such!  He's doing a great job!!  He's getting so strong!!

7 weeks old today!!

Someone is 7 weeks old today!!  Here are some silly pictures from this morning while we were chilling in the bed!

This was mid-sneeze!  :P

I can't believe he is already 7 weeks old!  :(  Time is flying by!!  In a little over a week he will be 2 months old and I will have to go back to work!  It's a sad, but good thing too.  I'm ready to get a normal routine down!  :)
