My baby is getting so big!

Ma, para sa imo kini. Dili mang mo magkita so pictures lang sa. Patiencia na lang. Mahal kaayo kamong duha. Ayo-ayo diha.


That was a message from Ross to his mom. Marcus is almost 3 months old! I feel like we went through a huge transition and finally I am feeling like I have things in control. And my body almost feels like normal again- just a couple sizes bigger... The first 3 months have been hard but I am loving being a mom. Marcus is smiling so much now- it makes the sleepless nights a lot more worth it. The little stinker can't make up his mind about sleeping at night. Some nights he will give me a wonderful 5 hours of sleep and then other nights- like last night- he is up every 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Maybe he just gets lonely and misses our company but I wish I could figure out how to get him to sleep well every night. Thank goodness he is taking one long nap everyday- although as I have learned, babies like to make you think that you have it all under control and then they change it up again.
We blessed him on Sunday. He looked so cute in his white suit. I'll have Ross post pictures later. It was wonderful to have my family there and also my second family- Susan, Sheree and Cherish. I love having company because I feel like I am just home by myself a lot. That freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want is gone.
Ross started school. I know it is hard for him to be away from Marcus for so long. Marcus really loves his daddy. The pictures below are from when Ross was changing Marcus' clothes and thought the onesie on his head was really cute.
We took Marcus swimming for the first time last week but it just happened to be a day when i ate a little dairy and it bothered his tummy- so now I know for sure that the dairy was what made him scream so much at the beginning- so he was already upset from not feeling good so he just cried. We are going to try again later this week since he loves bath time so much.
I don't have many updates about me. Mostly I am just at Marcus beck and call. I am missing out on the annual Rucker Lake camping trip which I am sad about. I have been trying to use what little free time I have to start baby proofing our house. I am headed over to my parents' house in a little while to hang out with Liz before she moves to Italy. Sounds fun huh? Anyways, we are surviving and doing well. I feel so proud for having made it through these first 3 months- shout out to all the other moms out there :)

What? What did that blog say? And what's on Marcus's head? I thought it was a hat, but on closer look, it doesn't seem like it is. He is so cute, you guys! His smile and little nose....just adorable. :)

I hope you get to go to a baseball game before the season is over. You said you didn't know where you would nurse a baby at the game, well I was just reading stadium information for the Mariners and they actually had a nursing mother's lounge by guest services. So check it out. Maybe the A's offer that too. I thought that was pretty cool because it is so hard to find things you can still do with a little baby. Good luck. He's such a cutie!
