isn’t 2 1/2 months a little early to be teething? jeremiah has started drooling profusely, and he never drooled before, so i’m just guessing that’s what it is. he hasn’t acted like his mouth hurts though. ?
jeremiah looks sooo long now…i need to get him measured, but he has to be over 24 inches now. imagine, my little munchkin, 2 feet long!!
he is such a sweet, happy baby. we are so blessed to have his little spirit in our hearts and lives!
guess how well he slept last night? from 10pm to 5am. i’m saying straight-through, no waking up. how nice is that?
also, i know i mentioned my breastmilk has been coming in better…it’s doing great! today, jeremiah has only had 8oz of formula all day, the rest of his feedings have been breastmilk! yay!!

once upon a time,
i thought i had a lot to say
and i thought i had a way with words.

then you came along;
tiny, full of life, full of hope,
and i was speechless!

even now, sometimes when i look at you
i have no idea what to say.
you are so precious, so perfect, so amazing.

every day i am with you
is a day i count myself blessed -
to know you, to hold you, to love you.

there has never been anyone like you
and there never will be -
you are one-of-a-kind.

you’re growing so much, learning so much.
i love watching your face as you learn new things.
you are my little miracle, and i love you so.

your papa and i are so thankful for you.
your grandparents, aunts and uncles
can’t get enough of you.

you are a blessing
sent from God
right into my arms.

i love you, Jeremiah.

we had quite a long weekend, starting on friday…
we went to the dr’s office for jeremiah. after filling out the forms (which took forever) he was seen. he did great! he really likes the new ped. and for this i’m thankful!
anyway, she said he has a mild case of gerd. she told us some tips for helping him spit up less, and feel better. for one thing, she told us we might be giving him too much formula. oops! she said give him 3 oz at the most, but that does NOT fill him up. we have just been going by what he needs…not as much as we had been, but not as little as she said. he has been spitting up a LOT less so far!
she said his stuffy nose was connected to his spitting up. everything else looked totally normal.
then we went to wic to exchange the reg. formula cans for the lacto-free kind, went shopping, and finally went home. it took a LOT longer than it sounds here. lol.
saturday at 10 was my cousin’s baby shower. we (my mom, jeremiah, my sil and sister) left at about noon, then went to eat, then went shopping. got some good deals on clothes jeremiah will be wearing pretty soon!
yesterday we didn’t do much, since i don’t have a car, but my parents and sister came over, as usual for sundays, and visited. jeremiah has been doing great staying awake for visits, so he was charming them most of the time they were here.
this morning, mi-mi took a bath in the big tub! he LOVED it! he had so much fun, kicking his little froggy legs around in the water. :frog: he has been a good boy all day (he really doesn’t have any bad moments anymore…he is honestly a perfect baby) and staying awake for me. we went outside for a while to take the mail out, and he took really big breaths like…ahhhh fresh air! lol! he is calling me to eat now, so i gotta go!
hugs!

we finally got jeremiah’s baseball pix in the mail. they turned out a lot better than i thought they would. we only ordered a few, to see what they would look like. now we want to take an even better pic and try it all over again! lol!
i am kind of getting worried about the amount of spit-up and gas that mi-mi has STILL, even with me watching the no-no food and with him drinking the lacto-free formula. we are going to the dr tomorrow to see if he might have a mild case of reflux. not sure what they do for it…i’ll look that up.
i wanted to call some pals today, but one wasn’t there, one’s phone was disconnected, and i haven’t tried the last one yet.
i am going to FINALLY start working on jeremiah’s scrapbook. i know, i know, don’t hold your breath. i began getting footprints (brushing black paint on his feet) when he was one month old, and plan to put the footprints on a page with his monthly wal-mart pics, as well as a few other pics from the month. in my head it looks good, but i don’t have an exact layout yet, so i’m putting it off. :rolleyes:
the sweet little boy’s smile just melts my heart! he is such a charmer! i’m so very very blessed.
i am so thankful it’s spring-like now. today is a beautiful, sunny, pleasant day. i admit i have been getting a bit antsy to get outside. jeremiah still doesn’t seem to care for the sun in his eyes, but after a while he’ll get used to it, i’m sure. i don’t like bright lights myself, but some is fine.
oh wow. the news is on in grampa’s room and i just heard about a father who poured scalding water on his baby girl because he was tired of hearing her cry!!!! dear Lord, please be with this precious child!!!!! it’s unbelievable to me how people can be so heartless!
well, that’s it for now. going to call my other pal…hope everyone has a great day!!! big hugs!! God bless you and your day!

my little sonshine was 9 weeks old yesterday!
we had some pics taken at wal-mart again yesterday - they aren’t as good as i’d hoped. it’s just annoying that he is so adorable and precious, but he’s in a bad mood when we try to get his picture taken! they’re under the professional pics folder anyway.
jeremiah is now 13 lbs. he is wearing mainly 3-6 clothes. he has barely any sleepy-outfits to fit into. i don’t even think we should buy any more, since the weather should be nice soon. it doesn’t seem like the first day of spring was yesterday around here! lol.
it seems jeremiah gets cuter every day! he is so precious and sweet. unless he’s really hungry, in pain, needs a change or is fighting sleep, he is a very happy, content little baby. this age right now is lots of fun, since he ‘talks’ to us all the time, laughs, smiles, and is just his joyful little self.
i know i mentioned last week he started sleeping in his crib. well, sat. night he slept from 11:30 until 5:17!!!! that’s the longest night stretch ever!! last night he didn’t do as well (10 - 3) but i think it’s partly (mostly!) because of his upset tummy. he is doing so well! what a precious guy. :love:
all for now!

my little baby is two months old today. thinking back to the day he was born…it’s like it was yesterday, not two months ago!!! sigh.
he is such a sweetie! he’s been sleeping much better through the night since he’s been in his crib. i’m so proud of him! there are so many things that i feel so proud of, because he’s growing up, learning new things, becoming more a boy than a baby…then on the other side, i feel so sad because he will never be this little again. he’ll always be my baby boy, but he won’t always be a baby…sigh! i love him SO much! he is so precious. he loves cuddling, getting kisses, playing peek-a-boo, and smiling at mama and papa. he giggles most for papa! this time is so precious and i am so thankful i am able to be with him every day.
anyway, hope everyone has a great day!
hugs!

to those who tried to use the contact form and requested the password before yesterday, please resend it. the contact form wasn’t working right - i got your message but not your email address, so i can’t send you the username and password. :rolleyes:
that’s all - have a great day!

i tried lacto-free milk for the first time today. ICK! it wasn’t what i thought it would be like…i’d heard it tasted like normal milk but, um NO! but it tastes fine with chocolate in it.
jeremiah has an intolerance to lactose and onions. if i have either, it really upsets his little tummy. i’ve been drinking soymilk lately, but i don’t care for that at all either.
oh, if you used the contact form BEFORE yesterday and didn’t hear from me, please resend it, because the form wasn’t working right. i received your message but not your email address, so i couldn’t send you the username and pw. :rolleyes:

Christian mom , suzzie and everyone else who has a problem with the password protection,
the reason i have decided to password protect the comments is NOT because i can’t handle advice, but that the way people say things is RUDE and belittling. i don’t expect everyone to agree with me, and i don’t expect to agree with everyone who reads my blog. if you give me ‘advice’ that makes it seem like i’m a bad mother because it doesn’t go along with YOUR personal belief, THAT is unacceptable. HOWEVER, if you give me advice that isn’t what i believe, but say it constructively and kindly, i will listen and think about it. i have a problem with people posting on MY site, sounding smug and having a know-it-all attitude, attempting to make me doubt my parenting skills. OR people who put me down as a person for being a mother in the first place, calling my son names, and being disgusting….these are the reasons that i decided to pw protect the comments. you are STILL free to view my site, but if my guestbook continues to be abused, the WHOLE SITE may end up pw protected. that would be NO FUN for me or for anyone.
i didn’t set up my site as a battle field, and it’s not fun at ALL to be sought out as a target! as it says in my disclaimer, if you DON’T have anything nice to say, please keep it to yourself. if you don’t enjoy this site, don’t come back. if you have something personal you have to comment on, be brave and use the contact form. only i will have your email address, and if i feel your email deserves a response, i’ll get back to you. it seems the people who leave these superior-sounding comments fail to leave any way for me to contact them to respond.
it’s just funny that you think i am so pathetic that i password protect the comments, but you’re being just as cowardly (if not more) when you leave rude comments and don’t leave a way for me to reply to you personally. i DO NOT enjoy defending myself on this site - that’s not why it was created.
i’m just so tired of defending myself. i should not have to be doing this. from now on, i am just going to delete the comments that are rude. if you think that makes me pathetic, don’t waste your time writing something that will be instantly deleted. just leave the site. enough said.

well my sweet little man is officially 23 inches long, and is really 12 1/2 lbs (i always wonder about the scale we have)!! WOW. we took him to the WIC office today, and signed up for it. instantly got some vouchers. ok, i say instantly, but it was actually a LONG process. :rolleyes: but i’m not complaining, because we REALLY appreciate what it will do for us. we have been barely making it lately it seems. we just hadn’t planned on using formula - it’s SOOO expensive! and we are still using disp. diapers since jeremiah goes through SOOOO many…in between 8 and 12 a day. he hates having wetness or poopy on him, so we change him more often than we should probably. i’m only hoping this means he will be a FAST potty-trainer! anyway i’m really thankful that i finally got this done.
guess where my baby slept for the first time on sunday? yes, his crib!! and he did so well, he’s been sleeping there ever since. i figured i needed to get him used to it, since he’s 12 1/2 lbs and the bassinette only goes to 15 lbs! lol! but it was harder for me sunday night than it was for him. he was great! there’s a pic in album 11 of him sleeping in it on sunday afternoon.
well that’s it for now.
little sonshine, as you grow bigger every day, know you’ll always be a sweet little baby in my heart. you are learning so much, smiling so much, and showing so much of your precious personality every day! how can it be that i fall even more and more in love with you?!
i love you, little one. my first child, my darling son. :love:
love, your mama
