My first day back

Today was my first day back at work. Well part time, like 3 hours. But it was my first time away from Seth for that long. WELL actually that is a lie. When I had mastitis, I did have to go to Urgent care and we all know those are not 30 minute trips. So this was my first "non urgent care" separation from Seth. My mom and sister watched him for me and well I guess I have been neglecting him(my mother said jokingly, of course I don't neglect him). My mom said he had horrible cradle cap (which for some reason I have not noticed, I mean he has a WHOLE head of hair and I have only seen minimal flaking) and was dirty behind the ears (he is a boy for goodness sake..lol!). So my mom and sister lathered up his hair and scalp with baby oil and went to work. I guess Tristan was there "comb rinser" and would take the comb to the bath tub and rinse it off. Well when I got there he was asleep with a perfect slick Mohawk. I don't think I will be able to get that baby oil out for a couple of months! He did look adorable if I do say so myself! Here are a few pics!

12 Weeks Old!!

Time is sure flying by! I can't believe my little boy is 12 weeks old!!!!

Seth is doing amazing. He eats like a champ..lol! He is smiling and talking and now has a fixation of watching TV. Not something we purposely planned. Ever since he had been able to see object far away, his eyes always gravitate toward the TV. It is probably the flashing of many colors and noises. So we have introduced Baby Einstein DVDs. They are great for when Mommy needs to take a shower. Today I put him in his swing and stuck it in front of the the TV and played the DVD. Ran and took a shower and as I was drying off I could hear Seth talking to the TV.

Oh yeah and Seth totally loves little kids. He will smile and talk up a storm to any child. He loves to watch them jump around also.

For awhile he tricked us and started to sleep from 11pm to about 6:30-7am. But that has recently changed. He still usually will go to sleep about 10-11pm and wake up at 3-4am. Still a good 5 hours but the extra 2 hours would be nice. Unfortuntely I usually still have to get up and pump so I don't really get that full 5 hour sleep, or 7 if he decides to sleep longer. I keep telling my self it is worth it for him to get breastmilk instead of formula for now. However when I go back to work we'll see if my mentality will change.

Very recently too Seth has started to laugh when we tickle him or "play boxing" with Seth and Jakob or Seth and one of Tristan's stuffed animals. It is soooo cute!

Here are a few pictures:
