Update.....

Barrett will be 4 months on Monday. Wow, the time has flown by!

He is progressing amazingly well. You would have never guessed he was a preemie. He is rolling over all the time in his crib from belly to back. He is able to hold his head up, but still wobbles! He is constantly watching everything around him, and Graham and I laugh all the time…Barrett loves watching football, and WW shows on the history channel. I don’t think he could get anymore like Graham! J He tries so hard to be such a big boy, he’s always trying to go somewhere. He is constantly kicking his legs, if you stand him up on your lap, of course he tries to walk. When he’s on his belly, he scoots to the top of his crib (of course he only does this when he’s mad). If he could get his arms and hands coordinating with everything else he would be crawling right now.

One thing Barrett absolutely loves is his bath time! He is growing out of his infant tub, he is now arching his back and kicking with his legs to try and roll over in it. He isn’t quit big enough for the seat in the tub yet. So I guess until he can start using the seat, we will just have to deal with him getting the floors and counters soaked!

I’m starting to notice that a couple of his 6 month clothes are starting to fit tight. L He was at 16 pounds a few weeks ago, and then he got sick and lost a pound. Now, with a full recovery I’m sure he has gained it back with a couple of extra pounds! He goes in for his check up on the 15th. We might try and start him feeding him cereal next weekend. I would like him to be able to hold his head up completely before I start it. However, there are days where it seems like he can’t get enough to eat, so we will just have to play it by ear.

Long time, I know!

Okay, so you know it's been a long time when you try and log in and you forgot your password!

Sorry! I have just been so busy with everything that I forget to write about what's going on. I am hardly on FB anymore!

Okay, I went back to work in December, that was so horrible! I surprised myself though, I cried the day before and that night...but was able to hold it together the first day. Then I came home and realized for the first time that Barrett actually knew who I was. When he saw me he started smiling and when I picked him up he wrapped his arms around my neck. It seemed like eternity before he would let me go. That is when I started crying; happy tears of course. It was a feeling only another Mother would know about. I took pictures of him that morning....

Then we had a wonderful Christmas with our families. Barrett got some really cute clothes, and wonderful toys that he is now playing with....pictures to come. Below are Xmas pictures....

Then we had New Years Eve, and Barrett stayed the night with his Aunt Emily and Uncle Skip while Mommy and Daddy went to a friends house.  It was hard leaving him, but I knew he would have lots of fun....besides he's been sleeping through the night since he was 9 weeks old!!!  Go Barrett!!!  :):):) 

The following pictures are of Barrett's "firsts".  The first time he noticed toys, first time he grabbed at a stuffed animal (Benny), the first time he played with a rattle, the first time Daddy took a picture of Barrett and I taking a nap, the first time he rolled over, and the first time he played in his saucer!  Lots of firsts in the last couple of weeks!!
