MATW

Remy all tuckered out after giving his auntie a hard time at daycare:

These are a few of my favorite things!

Gosh, this boy sure loves his TV.  His favorite show seems to be Sesame Street.  Doesn't he seem engrossed in episode 4?  Haha.

If you try to move in front of him or move him away from the TV his head follows it and sometimes he gets pissed.  I try to make sure we do other things with our time together.  We play in his play gym, his exosaucer, upstairs in his room reading books and playing with toys.  He enjoys all of these things but his favorite past time seems to be TV.

I've also noticed another favorite of his.  The letter R in his nursery above his changing table.  I swear.  I put him on his changing table to change his butt and he looks up, sees the letter R and gets a HUGE smile on his face and will sometimes chuckle at it. I'm not sure if it's the shape or the color yellow but he just loves it and he doesn't care about any of the other letters.

Remy loves to just hear me chat.  It doesn't matter what I'm saying or how I say it, he just loves it.  He thinks I'm funny.  :)  I'll take advantage of this while I can.

Remy's favorite toy is his blue ball.  It's the easiest toy to grab and stick right in his mouth.  He usually just sticks his tongue through the holes.

Remember when I was having a hard time getting Remy to take a bottle?  Well, now that we found the right bottles he loves them.  In fact, he usually refuses to nurse now that he knows he can have a bottle.  He lets me nurse him in the middle of the night, sometimes in the morning and maybe once in the evening.  It's kind of sad...  Nursing was one of the few things that only I could do with him.  It was our special time together.  Now I have to spend my day pumping...  Fun times.  But, he's worth it.  He always has to have his hands everywhere.  When he's tired he usually rubs his face and his hair.  It's so cute.  :) 

My First Tooth!

Remy cut his first tooth yesterday!  I was quite surprised because that’s very early.  They say 4 months is early and he’s only 3 months and 1 week.  But I guess he’s going to be an early teether.  Lucky for me (said sarcastically).  I just hope he doesn’t bite me.  ;)

I knew something was up because he’s been extra drooly lately, has been waking up around 4 am to eat and has been a little more fussy at night before bed.  I checked his mouth the other day and there was nothing.  So I figured he was going through a growth spurt.  I went to pick him up from daycare last night and his auntie (also his daycare provider) found his tooth!  Like I said, I was surprised.  I bed Remy will be ready for solids before I am!  I’ve been thinking the last few days that I better get ready in case he starts showing signs of wanting solids.  Still have to buy a food processor and such.  I won’t introduce solids until he’s at least 4 months old of course and I’ll probably double check with his pediatrician at his 4 month check-up but I think he’ll be ready around that time.  I just can’t get over how fast he’s growing up.  His 4 month check up is in just over 3 weeks.  Soon enough he’ll be eating at the table with us!  Hmm… that means we better start actually eating at the table, not on the couch.  Haha.

Just showing daddy my new tooth!  Vader seems to like me these days.  He’s trying to lick the drool off my face.

Finally in a happy mood now that my tooth is cut!

3 Months!

My little man is 3 months old as of yesterday!  Time is sure flying by.  I probably say that a lot…  Remy is still doing great at daycare.  Seems to be happy and comes home happy.  He definitely has a set schedule I’ve noticed.  Lately he’s been going to bed around 8-9:00 so that means I only get to see him for 2 ½-3 ½ hours before bedtime.  Doesn’t seem like enough time!  He is sleeping through the night 90% of the time.  He doesn’t usually wake up until 6:30-7:00 a.m.  He’s just such a good baby!  He smiles all the time and every time I get my camera out to take a picture he stops smiling and just stares at the camera.  Haha.  I get a few smiles here and there but not his big ones!  And he’s laughing more and more.  I absolutely love to hear him laugh.  Phil still hasn’t gotten a laugh out of him.  I told him he just needs to be funnier!  He’s got his favorite toys and he loves to lay on his back and throw his legs up in the air and roll onto his sides.  He still hasn’t learned to roll over from his back to his tummy but I have a feeling that won’t be far away.

Leaning tower of Remy?  I think he's trying to lean to see around me.  I'm blocking the TV and Remy sure loves to watch TV.

 

My happy boy with his favorite toy!
