the sickness...

Lennox is sick! Boo! Last night he woke up and was breathing hard and wasn't able to breathe through his nose. His dad has been sick the last couple of days (which is super awesome....Levi is the BIGGEST baby when he is sick, so now I am mother of two :) so it isn't too surprising that Lennox is sick. It is so sad to hear him breathing through his mouth and coughing. Last night we went to the grandparents house for grandpa and Aunt Tracey's birthday dinner. Evidently, grandpa got sick last night as well, some really bad flu and didn't go to work today. That is saying something because grandpa NEVER misses a day of work! So, I am trying to stay well and avoid the evil sickness. So far, the score is Sickness: 3 Wellness: 1. We are dropping like flies!

Lennox is smiling and laughing a lot now and it is so much fun to watch him. When he wakes up in the morning, he is so cuddly and happy and I just want to stay in bed with him all day. He loves it when I sing songs to him (which is amazing because my singing voice is an absolute nightmare and my morning dragon breath is not appealing either...) and say silly things to him. He is getting bigger and bigger everyday and his cheeks are getting chubby. I think that he is only gaining weight due to his ever increasing length more than his weight increase. He is truly a linguine baby! I have been working with him on taking more naps during the day because he needs some assistance in that area. He fights naps like crazy but always sleeps well at night.

It is amazing how much my life has changed since he was born. I am less tired than I thought I would be with a newborn, but I am less knowledgeable about babies and baby related situations than I thought I would be. It's a constant give and take. Being a stay at home mom truly is the most challenging job in the world and it is tough being a parent in general. Everyday I wake up ready for a new challenge, and boy let me tell you, there are plenty of them! I am so happy that it is starting to feel like Fall outside and that all the holidays are coming up. So many things to look forward to.

Oopsy, gotta go, baby just woke up and is....you'll never guess!! HUNGRY!! :)
