Living for the weekend!



A smile to start off with  :o)  Or at least, it makes me smile.  This little man makes my heart melt.  Last night, after a truly crappy day.. he didn't want a bottle before bed, but wanted to cuddle.  He laid on my chest with droopy eyes staring at my face taking his little hand rubbing my cheek.  It's hard to want to do anything but lay there and cuddle! 

OK! I know, I shouldn't just live my life for the weekends... but I can't help it.  The dogs, Sam and I all miss Travis during the week!  How do I know.. the dog constantly run to the door at night waiting for him to come home.  Mia pouts on the chair till it's time to go to bed and Tink has started some unfavorable habits I won't share since he's left.  My house is NUTS!!  lol  I can tell Sam misses him because when he sees his picture he talks to it and tries to touch his face.  I tried to keep Sam up to see Travis last Friday before he went to bed... mistake on my part. He was so excited to see him, he was looking for him everywhere and did NOT want to go to bed!!  Lesson learned there!  Keep with the bed time! 

Mia has been pretty clingy and still really wants Sam to play with her.  The other night I was laying on Sam's floor reading a book as he would play/come sit by me and watch my mouth as I read.  Mia wanted him to play with her and he had no interest... so she tried to cuddle on my stomach, Sam wasn't having this either and started trying to crawl up there as well.  As I look over beside me this is what I see....

She went under his crib to pout but still had to be "seen" so someone would say something to her!  LOL

I got Sam some sunglasses so when he's outside it's not hurting his eyes.. what I learned from this shopping trip?  There were NO sunglasses for infant boys!  They had a whole rack of ones for girls.. none for boys.  These are 3yrs and up!  I was a bit peeved!!  But I guess we will make them work... if he decides to keep them on! LOL

Sam has been cruising around the furniture now for a few weeks.  Last weekend he decided he didn't need to hang on to anything and let go, SPLAT!  Right on his face on the wood floor!  This has happened one other time... I felt horrible.  Well the other day I went to pick him up after work and I guess he was outside for a bit and took a nose dive into a walkway.  Scraped his upper lip and had a bloody nose.  Poor kid!  Along with the rash from drool  that day he didn't look so hot! 

This was the best picture I could get.. he doesn't sit still too well now to get pictures!!  LOL

I have started loosening up a bit and have started letting him feed himself more.  I give him a spoon, a bowl with a little food in it and let him get messy as I feed him.  He seems to enjoy it and I know it's good for his self esteem.. it's just hard to let him get that messy knowing I have to clean it up and with limited time during the week..  it takes a lot of patience on my part! 

He has so much fun with his uncle Chris, my brother.  Babies love my brother in general but it's fun to see the attachment he has formed with another guy that's not his daddy  :o)
