Hi All!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I can't believe that January is almost over! This year is already going too fast! It's been a couple weeks since I updated everyone, so there's a lot to talk about.
Jayce: He's 6 weeks old now and doing really good - still growing like a weed!! He's sleeping GREAT at night - I'm talking 8-10 hours at a time!!! However, that's because he doesn't sleep during the day :( boo!! He'll take a couple 20 min catnaps here and there, but thats about it. If he does take a nap (around 3 hours or so) then he wakes up after 6 hours at night. I would definitely prefer him taking a nap, because 6 hours is still great for a 6 week old!! And if he sleeps any more than that I have to get up anyways and pump!! So daytimes are a little rough for Mommy. He doesn't like the swing (we've tried multiple versions) and won't sit by himself even if we are playing with him for very long either. He wants to be held and bounced (and yes, we've tried a bouncy seat too). But he is Smiling now!!! So exciting!!! It makes things a little easier to see that he is a happy baby at least some of the time!! lol and Riley likes making him smile!
Riley: It has been a trying week for Riley, and Mommy! Potty Regression hit an all time low this week, and so we are back to diapers. We were doing pretty good with the stars, and then after about two weeks he got stuck at 2 stars and its been a struggle. So, after trying a couple more ideas (Thanks Janice!!) I just decided it would be less stressful to just put him back in diapers until he adjusts to the changes in our family. We've also been trying to help things by giving him more one on one attention. So last night he and Cameron went on a "Daddy Date!" They went to Arena Cross in Denver. (For those of you without a Y chromosome it's an indoor dirt bike track/races.) Smaller than Super Cross, though. Riley had a blast!! It was a little long for his 3 year old attention span, but he did really good overall!!
Next weekend is the Monster Truck show!! Thankfully, they don't have to drive down to Denver for that one, it's just right down the road from us at the Budweiser Event Center. (and we are hoping that Cam can get discounted tickets for that one at work too!!) We also spent some quality time with our good friends across the street. We have a standing playdate with them every Tuesday, and Mommy is looking forward to this as much as Riley is!! Adult conversation is a welcome thing!!! We have also set up weekly Skype (webcam) chats with Grandma Wilson!! This is exciting because Grandma hasn't gotten to meet Jayce in person yet, but she can still watch him grow!! If anyone else would like to Skype with us, just let me know (leave a comment or email me) and we'll set that up! It's FUN!!!
Not much else going on here . . . Next week is Chinese New Year - It's the Year of the Rabbit!!! So Happy New Year (again) Everyone!!!
