Back to Work :(

Well my time has come to an end :(  I officially went back to work on Jan 5th.  It was a very long day for me.  Jamie did well at his baby-sitter's, who happens to be my sister-in-law.  She is great with children and I am very happy that she decided to watch him for us.  I did have a review and got a raise at work this week, so I guess it is not all bad being a working mom.  I will definitely miss the little guy every minute of every day though :(

Jamie had his two month check up.  He weighs a little over 11 pounds and is 23 inches long!  He has grown so much since birth.  His newborn pictures amazing me already at how small he was. They grow up so fast.  He also got his shots, which he did not like one bit.  I had to hold his hands while they did it and I could have popped them off with how upset I was at him being upset.  He cried the loudest and most heartbreaking cry I have every heard him do.  Scott couldn't stand to watch them poke him and was about in tears himself.  He is such a protective and loving father :)  Although the shots only took a few minutes, Jamie ended up having what we think were nightmares until Thursday. Poor little baby would be sound asleep and then wake up screaming like he was getting the shots all over again.  I know that they were necessary, but I still don't like them :(  

Jamie has finally decided that people are more interesting then the couch or the lamp, and now likes to stare at your face.  He especially likes people with glasses, but I think its just because he can see himself in them, lol.  He really loves his mobile in his crib.  He follows the little animals around in circles with his eyes, while kicking his legs and flapping his arms wildly.  He also loves his other toy that has hanging animals that move when you touch them, and, of course, his musical sea horse.  

He is getting so big so quickly.  It just melts me heart when he looks up at you and gives you 

this huge smile and a little giggle.  We love that little boy!!!

trip time!

Jamie went on his first long trip in the car on Jan 2nd.  We went to visit our friends, Mike and Leah in Detroit.  They have three very rambunctious triplets- Mike Jr, Konrad and Zach.  Jamie enjoyed looking at babies close to his own size and the triplets got a kick out of Jamie.  Those boys are so cute.  They spent the time we were there running around in their walkers and eating baby food like three little growing birds!  One would be being fed while the others popped their mouths open and squealed for more.  I can't wait 'til Jamie is not baby food, well maybe I can :)

  

Jamie was a good little boy on the way down and back.  He only cried once each way and that was for a feeding.  He has now been to a McDonalds and enjoyed a bottle while being rocked in a chair in the middle of Babies r us.  What an adventure for such a little boy!
