OHHH yeah, it's in the precious hands of my precious little bug! Once again I have been robbed of more and more of my heart by his sweet little actions. Last night he took me back, to a couple of months ago, and let me cradle and snuggle him like he has NOT wanted to do at bedtime for sooooo long. Usually, if he does not fall asleep on the last couple of ounces of his bottle, it's PUT ME DOWN I WANT TO TALK TO MY MOBILE! :) Not last night... after the last little droplet was in his belly he relaxed into my arms like Mommy, don't burp me I will stay laying in your arms juuuuuuust like this :). He leaned his head back and just smiled and sweetly coo'd. I went to sit him on my lap to get those dreaded bubble monsters that have their way of making it back up after he is sleeping comfortably, being pains in the you know what! As I sat him down he was sucking/chewing on his burp rag because anything in reach is meant to be sucked on these days :), he kept leaning into me like as if he just wanted to rest and lean on me while he was sitting :). After the last burp he laid back and let me CRADLE him and shush and bounce him JUST like we used to not so long ago. He pulled his little arms in and put his little fists under his chin like you would see an angel do and snuggled right into me and off to dream land he went. I even hummed GOOD NIGHT SWEETHEART off "3 men and a baby" like the good ol times... it really used to console him :). I couldn't stop staring at him and smiling...
I think Brad kicked me in my ribs or something because Tuesday morning I woke up in excrutiating pain... it's gotten worse but I am going to give it until Monday before I go to the good ol' doctor. Last night it was painful cradling Brady for so long but I cared, NOT ONE BIT! Hopefully nothing is wrong, little strainin' or something from reaching to get the next french fry or something :). We will see...
My rockstar son kept on rocking right through his 6 month appt. on Wed.! As you know we have a routine, and one that makes me comfortable to NOW do these appts. just he and I. Shots, shove bottle in mouth... shots, shove bottle in mouth.... OK there is no shoving, but you get the point... I literally have everything laid out and ready as if I needed to do lunges to stretch to run a mile or something (ew, that made me sore just thinking about running, GOOD GOD IT'S HOT OUT)...anyways.. so there is usually a break between seeing Dr. Travis and that devil of a shot nurse coming back in (she really is a super sweetheart... but I think even a halo being worn couldn't make shots not seem evil). During this break I give him a pep talk... let him know WE, I mean HE, can do this and that he is so very strong. Meanwhile he is staring at me like, AWKWARD MOM... we are just sitting in this room with fish on the wall and noone is with us.. can't we go talk in the truck or something... just let me chew on your necklace.. stop it mom, give it back :). So I had it all ready, all packed up... card ready to pay, keys ready, bottle sitting right next to where the damage will be done... I had given him some juice as I was talking to the doctor too.. so he was happy as a clam. Well in came the doctor.. SOMEONE has learned how to keep the precious meds from going down his "drains" and kept spitting with his oral vaccination. He and the nurse were seriously having a "standoff"! She was staring at him saying swallow... almost done.. swallow.. and he was sitting there just staring back, still and expressionless like- I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE MESSIN' WITH.. I can hold and gargle (he looooves to do this every night with his reflux medicine) and even talk with the medicine in my mouth, BRING YOUR GAME ON DEVIL SHOT LADY :). 2 hours later.. (not really, but man the kid has some stamina) here they come... all three of them and boooooy he gave me a saaaaad look and cry. THEN OFF THE TRAINTRACKS WE WENT!
HE DIDN'T WANT THE BOTTLE! He doesn't want the bottle??? What?? Stop the press?? How do we work this now?? Until this happened...
As I cradled him, he nestled into me and STOPPED CRYING! He just stayed close to me and was perfectly still.. I bounced him while I held him and he didn't make a peep! I was like uhhhhh you ok sweet baby?? Then right as I am checking out HE FELL ASLEEP.. yes, ASLEEP.. eyes closed... nestled into momma SLEEPIN'! Walked outside, sun shining.. STILL SLEEPIN'... This all happened within like 5 minutes. Seriously I did get a bit concerned because he was just sooooooo still.. and then the sleeping without waking with the sun (which he hates) shining on him??? But he was fine.... slept all the way home and was happy as a clam when we got home just a talkin' to me!! Blew me away, let me tell ya!
Later that evening Brad got home, which is wonderful because his hours have been AWFUL lately, held him and he snuggled with him for a bit and fell asleep on his chest.. he hasn't done that in a while... I think we have both really enjoyed this extra closeness that the last couple of days have brought us!
WE HAVE A LEANER!! Not talking about washers either.... Maybe he was just off balanced, but as mom was holding him when I left this morning HE LEANED towards me! I don't care what anyone says :)! We have been always holding our hands out to him so he will reach :)! Haven't gotten that far yet, but he does a good "lean"! Walking into mom's he laid his head back down as if to say- I STILL SWEEPY.. Just looooove loooooove looooooove.. And I luuuhhhhuuuuv every second of it!
Well this post was supposed to be short and sweet... AND AMAZING BECAUSE IT IS 2 IN ONE WEEK! haha! Just Kidding... I just wanted to post some new pics of his 6 month shots that we have NOT gotten a good one with the good ol' heart in it :) Annnnnnd to post his new stats...
AS OF 6/2/10... our sweet little TWIG weighs 20 lbs. 11 oz. putting him in the 90th percentile... He grew 3 INCHES since his 4 month appt. and is now 27 1/4" long putting him in the 75th percentile from his squatty little measurements putting him in the 25th percentile last time :)! I don't know how he is getting away with it but as much as we nicknamed him our little bobble, he is steering clear from that rep.. he has a normal size cabeza (head) at 44.5 cm putting him in the 50-75th percentile (not sure on that range??).
Growing just as perfectly as he can be!! I will leave you with these pictures and well wishes for the weekend!
