Fussiness...

MOM... i know you're talking about me.....

Fussy: easily upset, irritable....

This is what my son has been today. i have no idea why he is so fussy. i feel so bad for him, yet at the same time quite annoyed. its hard to explain. Sleep was not heard of last night. He woke up at 2- 5- 7- 8- and did fall back to sleep until 1030... AAAHHHHH! Its enough to drive a person mad. The lack of sleep is the only thing that is hard to adjust to. everything else is a joy... (except the diapers) and thank you Chantelle for that HILARIOUS clip about dads and babies. That made me laugh so hard i cried.

if i ask my mom what he needs all she says is: "he needs his Gramma"... that doesn't help very much. He wasn't hungry, he wasn't wet, he wasn't hot, he wasn't in pain... he just cried. he didn't want to be held, he didn't want to be put down...

any suggestions?

The Joys of being Jayden's Mommy!

I cannot tell you how much joy this little guy has brought into this world. Jayden has brought tears of joy, smiles, and laughter into this world since the second we found out he was a little human in the making.

Here is what Jayden wore to church last night (compliments of his Auntie Leanna). He looked so handsome. Mommy even tried to fix his hair with some of Daddy's gel, but we had to change his t-shirt before going to church because he had an accident... so the hairdo kinda went flat.

He makes the cutest little smirks now. Jessica: here is a pic of my bedroom :) HAHA.. that is one of two windows and my bed is right there under it and to the right is Jayden's dresser... (covered with a lot of things that you will soon have on your nightstand too: a bottle of milk, perfume, pacifiers, a burp rag, and a paper plate with yesterdays lunch leftovers still sitting there :)

No, i did not teach my son to do this... i asked the doctor if this was normal... he said that its possible that Jayden could be an early teether???

He loves his new toy :) LOOK HOW CHUBBY HIS HANDS ARE!!

Another joy of being Jayden's mommy is finding time to do laundry at 11PM. When that happens he is usually sleeping. In that case, Gramma Martha is usually sleeping so we have to call Uncle Matt over to sit with him :) Don't they look alike!

Matt is usually hanging out with Mario at 11PM so Mario comes over too. They are so good with Jayden. They usually have no problems dropping anything they are doing to come sit with him.

2 Month Checkup

Today was Jayden's two month check up. Dr. Bursch says that he is a very healthy young man... whose mom's milk has a ton of calories... ???

He now weighs 16lbs and he is almost 24 inches long. He did so good at his appointment today. He had to get 3 shots and one oral dosage of something. You should have seen the stacks of papers they sent me home with on his last appointment there. i had to read 3 published studies about Autism... and how immunizations do not cause autism. and then there were all of the side effects to look out for...

Hopefully he does well. i know a fever and fussiness is to be expected....

so say a prayer for my little guy tonight :)

Burbank Baby Shower

A special thank you to Sis. McElhaney for giving me these pics.. (i forgot my camera)

Here is Alicia helping me open my presents. This particular gift was from Sis. White. She gave me a blanket made by Sis. Booker :)

Here are the three of us... we all had our babies within two months of each other and they threw us a huge baby shower bash together. it was so much fun!

I'd say we all look pretty good after having such big babies :)

Here is Jayden sleeping through the first half... come to think of it.. i think he was the only guy there so i guess i can sympathize with him :)

Gotta See Gramma and Grampa!!!

Every once in a while (almost every other weekend) Gramma and Grampa get withdrawals and have to see their baby. I have no idea why.... This week: VENTURA! We met there and went to lunch and then went shopping... i am doing my best to make sure this child of mine develops a desire to shop at a young age :)

Here we are smiling for Gramma :)

Do you see the resemblance?

He just loves his Grampa...
(they both found the couches and chairs in the mall quite comforting)

The faces of my baby...

Jayden has been quite fussy lately :) Isn't that face just adorable :)

But once Daddy takes him for a walk in the stroller... he is just fine :)

He loves his Jungle Mat. It plays music and has lights.

Here he was sleeping on Auntie Han's bed

I love this picture of him.

He smiles all the time now!!

Here he is after getting a bath... The bath puts him to sleep

YAAAAWWWNNNN! LOL!

He hates beanies and hats!
