We went to Rice's homecoming game this weekend. We learned why we have never been to a Rice football game before -- let's just say it is not OSU. Below is the homecoming king, yes it was Hurricane Ike. I am not kidding. Check out the hot dude in his shades. Clint and I decided to bale the game and took Sawyer to his first bar. I promise we are good parents.
We took Sawyer to the doctor today to get his hemoglobin checked. His numbers are up! Things are looking good. He still has to take his iron supplements which means I still have to get him to eat his prune juice. UGH! He is getting so big. He isn't even three months yet and he weighed 15 lbs 14 oz. I know almost 16 lbs! He gained over 2 lbs in just 3 weeks. He is also sleeping through the night. I didn't want to jinx myself by talking about it early, but he has been sleeping through the night for about two weeks now. He goes down at 9:00, I wake him up at 5:00 am to feed him (that is when I am going to have to feed him when I go back to work), and then he sleeps until about 8:30. I moved him from his bassinet to his crib last night. He slept great, but I hardly slept at all. I had to keep checking on him. Hopefully I will get over that.
Since he is almost 3 months I thought I would post some fun moments of hanging out with the little guy:
- One day I came in to Clint screaming. Clint was changing his diaper and he pooped all over Clint, the couch, the floor, the coffee table, . . . I still don't know how it got everywhere.
- Last week I was letting him hang out naked after a diaper change (one of his favorite things to do). I had briefly turned my head but turned around to catch him peeing in his eye. Crazy.
- I was at hobby lobby the other day and I had his prune juice bottle with me. A lady stopped me to ask what I was feeding my baby. I told her. She thought it was coke. What kind of mom did she think I was, yes he has been to a bar, but he is way to young for coke.
- He smiles at everyone, but extra big for the waitresses at House of Pies.
- When I am breastfeeding him I get the evil eye until I start rubbing his head and telling him how wonderful he is. That is definitely a Clint trait.
- It seems every time I am walking out the door in a hurry he poops through his entire outfit and sometimes on mine as well.
- It is precious when he talks to us in his language of aahs.
- I love it when he sucks his thumb. Reminds me of my own childhood and early adolescents. . .
There have been many many more moments that have made me smile and laugh in the past 3 months. Actually I have smiled more in the past three months than ever before in my life. Below is another picture of my beloved boys in their matching red henleys.
