Sean had another playdate with Reagan yesterday. Cathy and I met for sushi with the kids and then came over to my house and played for awhile before taking a walk. We had a great afternoon. Reagan continued her flirting with Sean (she thinks he’s pretty studly) and they had a great time with each other. Cathy and I are going to try to do something every Monday until Cathy goes back to work.
Got some pictures, hopefully will get them posted tonight, along with some others from this and last week.

Sean had a rough night last night. He woke up at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep. He was a little warm so I took his temperature and it was 100.2. He slept on and off for the rest of the night with me (since he wouldn’t go back in his crib) and at 6:15, woke up and had a temperature of 100.4. I called the doctor and they said to schedule an appt for this morning.
The doctor said he checked out fine, just a little congested. He then felt inside his mouth and lo and behold…a bump. Yup…he’s teething. The doctor said that it’s pretty rare to see it this young, but that it does happen. So, looks like he’s healthy, just jumping way ahead of himself in the developmental milestones. The doctor was funny; he looked and Sean and pointed his finger at him (as if scolding) and said “now listen here Sean, you’ve gotta slow down buddy. Standing at 8 weeks, now teething early…look, we don’t expect much out of you when you’re zero, but once you start all this, you’re dad is going to want you do stuff like take out the trash and stuff. You’ve got to slow down and enjoy your infancy buddy, it’s a great time!” LOL. It was really cute.
So, guess we’ll be buying teething rings and stuff now. My little boy is growing up way too fast! 🙁

Sean went to sleep around 8pm last night. Usually he wakes up around 4 or 430am to have a bottle, then goes back to sleep until around 630 or 700am. Last night he woke up about 215am and couldn’t get himself back to sleep. I went in his room and cuddled him a bit and he fell back to sleep. I didn’t want to give him a bottle that early because I figured if I did, he wouldn’t make it until 630am. So, I decided that I’d just get up a few hours later around his usual wakeup time and feed him, since I don’t have to work on Mondays, I didn’t mind getting up again. I went back to sleep around 300am and when he woke up and starting crying again it was 630am! Whoa! He slept all night without a bottle!! Makes me wonder if it was a fluke or if he can do it again….:-)

We traveled to St. Louis over Memorial Day Weekend to visit Paul’s family, and to attend Stephen’s wedding (friend of Paul’s). We had a great time and took a ton of pictures!
Still working on getting the wedding pictures online.
See pictures of Sean during the weekend by clicking below:
Sean’s getting so big! Just a few days ago, he started grabbing toys with his hand, then with both hands and then bringing the toy to his mouth. He loves this new skill and tends to hold on to his toys for 5-10 minutes at a time! He also is very talkative lately. He loves when people have “conversations” with him; mimicking the noises that he makes. He cracks up laughing and keeps the conversation going until you stop it. So cute.
I’m going to start getting some videos of Sean, hopefully on a weekly basis, and putting them on our youtube account. He’s doing so many new things each week, and we want everyone to be able to enjoy the milestones along with us. Plus, he’s so darn cute, who could resist a movie of him?? 😉

Happy 3 month birthday Little Sean!

Sean did really well for his second day of daycare. His routine was much better (he ate all of each of his bottles instead of just part of them, sleep was more consistent, etc) and they said that he did great. When I got there, he was playing in a bouncy seat. I snuck up on him and got in front of his face. It took him a second to realize I was there, then he got a big smile on his face. It melted my heart 🙂
We went out last night for awhile and didn’t get home until 10pm. He of course passed out around 8 like usual, and when we got home, I fed him a quick bottle, and put him to bed. He them slept until 4:45am again! Yay Sean! I am really liking all this extra sleep and not having to get up at 2am to feed him!
Today he starts “gama daycare” with my mom. I bet he’ll sleep most of the day after being worn out so much at daycare the past two days. We’re also heading to St Louis this evening for the weekend. We’re really excited for his Gramma Narni and everyone there to see him! He’s grown so much since the last time we were there.

Sean had a great night of sleep last night. He fell asleep around 6 after we got home. We had to wake him up for a bath and bottle around 9 (which he could barely stay awake for), then put him back to bed. He then slept until 4:50 this morning! I couldn’t believe it; what a great night’s sleep! After giving him a bottle at 5am, he snuggled with me until 6:30 when we woke up. I feel really refreshed today after getting such a good night’s rest! Guess daycare really wiped him out! It’ll be interesting to see how he sleeps tonight after going to daycare for his second day.

Today was my first day back at work and Sean’s first full day at daycare. My day went well; it was actually kind of nice to get back to “adult land.” I’m not thrilled about starting to actually work again, but it was nice to be back in the work environment and have adult time and discussions.
Sean did really well at daycare today. He took several short naps, one long nap, and drank most of every bottle. The head lady said that he did wonderful. It wasn’t too difficult to leave him this morning; once I put him in their exersaucer, he was good to go and playing like crazy. He was asleep when I picked him up today, but was VERY happy to see his mommy!
When we got home, he had a bottle and PASSED OUT until 9pm when we finally woke him up to give him a bath and bottle and send him to bed. I wonder how long he’ll sleep tonight. Daycare seems to have worn him out!
The only negative to the daycare so far is that he came home smelling like patchouli…bleh. I don’t know what to do about it. Paul and I hate the smell of patchouli, especially on our boy! We had to really scrub him tonight and it didn’t all come off. Wonder if it’ll come out of his clothes easily. I have a feeling it’s one of the owners that wears it so I’m not sure what to do/say. Help?

Well, my 12 week maternity leave is coming to a close this evening. It’s been a crazy journey! Who could have thought that my last few weeks of pregnancy I was saying “I just don’t know what I’m going to do for 12 whole weeks at home…” LOL. Silly (stupid) me! 🙂
Tomorrow I head back to work and Sean will spend his first whole day at daycare. I should have started a poll to see how many cups of coffee I’d need to make it through the day! I’m used to getting at least one big nap per day, sometimes 2-3! I don’t have any idea how I’m going to get up at 6:15a and make it until 5:00p, then get dinner ready and him into bed later, all without a nap! Whew. It scares me to even think about it! 🙂
On a happier note, Sean ALMOST rolled over today! I’ve been practicing with him and he can roll over from his back to his tummy if I flop his legs over for him first. Today, he was playing on his playmat and flopped his legs over by himself! He was laying on his side for awhile and if he had wanted to, he could have flipped himself the rest of the way over. We’ll keep up the practice and try to get a video of him rolling when he does it! What a big boy!
