10 weeks....time is going too fast!
I'm sad!
His time as a tiny little newborn is just going too fast for my liking. I want time to stop so I can savor every moment of this stage in his life, I want it to slow down so I can drink in every smile, every giggle, every sweet tender moment. I'm happy that he is growing because that means he is healthy but at the same time it's with a bittersweet outlook I have that he will soon be rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and moving on to being a big boy. My sweet little baby will grow just like his older siblings did, and he will do it too fast. When people say time goes faster the older you get, they are unfortunately all too correct. I can't believe it's almost Christmas again!
Garrett is doing great though. He had his two month appointment last week and he was 11 pounds 6 ounces, 23 inches long. His only problem is that he has sensitive skin and must be drowned in lotion several times a day. He has had a stuffy nose for the past month or so, which they are unable to really treat as he is too little for cold meds. His biggest accomplishment this month was learning to smile. Is there anything more heartwarming than seeing this little guy's eyes light up and the corners of his mouth start to turn up, then next he is all out just beaming up at you? It totally melts my heart. The best time is right before I leave for work everyday, he usually is awake and lying with daddy in bed, and he just wrinkles up his nose and starts with a ten minute smilefest! He's becoming a lot more interactive and is starting to "talk" to us. He's discovering that he has hands and has been caught trying to stick his whole fist in his mouth! I swear he is the easiest baby I've ever had. He is just so happy and content and you can tell that he just knows that he is loved!

Thanksgiving is coming up soon and for the first time ever I will be hosting it at my home. Everyone knows that cooking is low on my list of talents, somewhere like at a ranking of negative 100? So it should be interesting to say the least. Actually I'm looking forward to the challenge and to having my home filled with all of my family and creating a new memory for Garrett's first Thanksgiving. Too bad little monster doesn't get to eat any of the meal...maybe he will be able to taste the turkey or stuffing in his breastmilk.

6 Weeks Old Already?
I can't believe my little guy is already six weeks old. He's grown so much so quickly, he really is changing daily right before my eyes. It makes me sad that it's going by so fast. Tomorrow will be my first day back to work and his first day with a new babysitter. I am not as nervous as I was the first time I left a baby, being he is my third child, but am still somewhat nervous and sad to leave him. I am sad about what I will be missing out on while I am at the office, the cute little smiles and coos. I'm scared I will miss the first time he rolls over or sits up, all the milestones. But the bills have to be paid and I am not good as a stay at home mom, I'd probably lose my mind. I will always cherish these last six weeks however. I love holding him, talking to him, singing to him when he stares up at me with those bright blue eyes. He does some of the cutest things, like when he eats, he sticks one leg straight up in the air, sometimes he kicks it around. He makes an "o" with his mouth whenever he's pooping, we call it the "poop face". He snores sometimes, he's just the cutest thing, you can't help but want to kiss him constantly. He's such a good baby too, he hardly fusses, when he does he stops as soon as you pick him up. He eats great, sleeps pretty well, although he doesn't understand that bedtime is 10 pm, not 1 am, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of it eventually. Daddy will be the one on bedtime duty anyway once I start back to work. Mike is going to be the one who will get him up and dressed and off to daycare in the mornings, for that I'm thankful! I have a hard enough time getting to work on time as it is. I am going to post the latest slideshow it covers his first four weeks. I'm a bit obsessed with taking pictures of him, I want to capture every moment because I know soon they will be gone and he will grow up so very fast.

Happy Birthday to big sister Alexa!
Today is Alexa's 13th birthday. I cannot believe I am the mother of a teenager now. However she is far from a typical teen and I am lucky in that aspect. She's the best daughter I could ask for, I'm very proud of the beautiful and talented young lady she's turned out to be!
And on that note, so far no baby today, so her wish has come true to NOT have to share her birthday with her new little brother!
