Getting in the Swing

While E managed to fix all of the leaking roof problems (with the help of his dad) I have been super busy with baby Z. I finally feel like I am getting into the swing of things. Speaking of swings Z is enjoy a little swing time right now, he rarely gets to be in his swing while he is awake so this a real treat for him. I have the music and mobile going. and he is content. Its so nice to see him enjoying something. He is still smiling but he really only does it for me. Poor E tries to get him to smile but he never really gets him to. Oh well one day Z will share his smiles with his Daddy too.

Z has turned into a drool bucket lately. So now he has to ware a bib. He also is starting to form a routine. He starts going to bed around 10pm, this is how the routine goes:

10pm diaper change and puts on his jammies
Then the first part of his bedtime feed.
After the first boob he gets a good burp and warped in his blanket.
Then the second part of his bedtime feed.
After the second boob he gets a good burp.
Then he get rocked in the rocking chair and gets his dummy if he needs it.
Then once his eyes are closed he gets laid down in his crib and the lights go out.
If he opens is eyes he gets his dummy (if he wants it) and hushed.
Then mommy and daddy leave his room and he goes to bed. (sometimes he babbles for a bit and then goes to sleep) If he is crying then mommy comes back and rocks him some more (but he hasn't needed that for a while now)

Then he sleeps for at least 4 hours but lately he has been sleeping for six hours before getting up to eat again, go baby Z!

Z is also fitting into a lot more of his cute outfits and has had a few outings now. Last wednesday Z and I went to stars and strollers (a movie at cinaplex that is for moms and babies *sound not so loud and not so dark and your baby can cry and fuss and no one can complain about it AND you get 2 dollars off your ticket price*)  We had a lot of fun! Z was such a good boy he ate right when we got there and then slept through the whole movie. We saw The Kings Speech it was so good I hope it wine an Oscar. We also went and visited some friends at there homes first A and D house and then the next night M and J house. We had a lot of fun there too and baby Z was so good he was quite and helped us play games and didn't cry at all. I love him so much!

I have been using the baby carrier that my mom bought me it a cuddly wrap and I love it, so does Z he sleeps in it when hes there but it nice to have my hands free sometimes and to take walks without the stroller.

Well thats all I got for now I really should take Z out of the swing now, it not good just to leave your baby alone all the time you need to interact with them, but this was a nice treat for the both of us.
