I'm A Big Kid Now!!!

10 Weeks Old Today!!! Time is just flying by................

2 Months Old

Ramsay turned 2 months old yesterday and I can hardly believe it! Time is just flying by! He's turning into such a big boy it brings tears to my eyes just how quickly he is growing. Last we had him at the doctor he was 9 pounds 1 ounce and 22 inches long. He is growing like a weed! Since he turned a month old we've been using cloth diapers on him and they are working out great! They have to be changed a bit more often than disposable diapers but we don't mind at all. It's also nice because he actually let's us know if he needs changed since he can "feel" it if he's pottied. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come when it comes time to potty train when he's older. We've also started a new venture in that we are now making our own baby wipes. It's simple and easy and they smell really good! It's amazing how picky one can be when it comes to baby wipes. Some are to dry, some are to wet, some don't smell. We thought we would give it a try and it's worked out pretty good so far.
It's been a little over a week now since we moved Ramsay into his crib in his room at night and so far he's done an amazing job! Typically he will have his last bottle of the night between 10 and 10:30p.m. and then we swaddle him, and I read him a story, then put him into his crib. He's done a great job of not being fussy when he's put down and falls asleep quickly. I normally get him up at 7:00a.m., just before I leave for work so he can eat and get his day started. We're very lucky to have such a great little guy.
It's been nice to have this week off to spend with Ramsay. I cherish every moment I have at home with him since Papa gets so much time with him now!

Ramsay's 1st Christmas

Here it is, Sunday evening and I haven't left our place since early Friday morning and I must say, I have enjoyed spending the weekend with my two favorite guys in the entire world! We were supposed to go to a family gathering Christmas Eve night but since the weather got bad we decided we better stay at home as we didn't want to venture out with Ramsay in the mess. Christmas morning our precious baby boy didn't get up until we woke him up about 7:30 a.m. I guess we should enjoy that while we can because once he realizes that Santa comes on Christmas Even, they'll be no sleeping in for us for a few years! We got up and opened our gifts and then just relaxed around the house all day. Grandma Paula came over to celebrate with us so that was nice. Even though we didn't do anything, we were all exhausted by the end of the day!

Christmas morning relaxing on my boppy lounger under the tree!

He had just gotten up and kept stretching and stretching! We swaddled him at night so as soon as he's "free" from that in the mornings he just stretches as big as he can!

We are lucky that we have such a happy baby in the mornings! He's always full of smiles when he wakes up!

Papa is showing Ramsay how to open presents. This for me was very entertaining but Ramsay seemed to be very interested in everything that Papa was saying!

Now he's getting the hang of it and was trying to help Papa out.

Papa and Ramsay opening some more of Ramsay's gifts.

Ramsay got a glow worm from Mama and Papa.

This Christmas stuff is exhausting!

Ramsay also got the Lil Zoomers Speedway. Not sure who is going to have more fun with this, Papa or Ramsay!

Ramsay's Kick and Play piano and his pots and pans. We have put the piano in his crib and he's made music with it already!

So far Christmas has been pretty good to Ramsay. We aren't hearing any complaints from him!

We both survived...

Ramsay and I both survived my first week back at work. It was hard leaving my little man in the mornings to go back to work but seeing his smiling face every day when I got home was worth it!

It's hard to believe he is going to be 8 weeks old on Wednesday! We are taking him to the doctor today for his 8 week check-up and he gets shots this visit. I think this is really going to hurt mommy bunches!!
This week is a big week for Ramsay with his doctors appointment, his first Christmas, and he turns two months old next Monday. Where has the time gone already! It's amazing how much he has changed since he was born and he's now sleeping in his crib in his room. I thought Papa was either going to cry or end up sleeping on the floor next to the crib. I have to remind him that he can't spoil him that much and it's okay for him to cry sometimes! Well, it's okay for Ramsay to cry sometimes, not Papa!
I am looking forward to a short work week this week and then I will be off until the first of the year so I'll get to spend some more time with my handsome fella! I can't wait!!!

The End Is Near.........

Well, this is it. Today is my last full day home before returning to work tomorrow. Part of me is ready to get out and be back in a normal routine but the other part is sad to be leaving my baby boy everyday. He will be in good hands though with Papa, as long as Papa doesn't teach him bad things! We are lucky enough that Larry will be home with him during the day so we don't have to worry about daycare, which makes it a little bit easier for me to return to work.
Just this week we were able to view Ramsay's newborn pictures that were taken a few weeks ago. They turned out great! I can't believe how much he has changed already. Time sure is flying by!





Tonight I have a final for one of my classes so I am looking forward to that being over with. I have my other final due by Thursday evening and then I'll have a few weeks off to just relax and enjoy no homework and spending time with my boys. I will be taking the week off between Christmas and New Years so it will be nice to spend some more time with Ramsay before I dive back into working full time and doing school part time. Hopefully he cooperates since Papa will be in class four nights a week next semester which leaves me with him four nights a week when I need to be doing homework. So far he's been a great baby so I have no doubts that he will continue to be! He's doing really well with sleeping at night which is great and often doesn't get up to eat and let's us sleep in a bit. We are very blessed with our precious little angel baby!

Sporting my gDiapers

Ramsay is FINALLY big enough to wear his cloth diapers! Mama is very happy about this! He was to small to begin with to wear them properly so we had to wait until he gained enough weight. On his one month birthday he started wearing them and so far so good. I'm very happy with using them and laundry hasn't been that bad with them. Just think of all the money we'll be saving not having to use disposable diapers all the time! We are still putting him in a disposable at night as he tends to pee alot during the night and would pee out of his cloth diaper in no time! He looks so darn cute in his gDiaper. I can't wait until the warmer weather when he can run around with just his diaper on!

The cutest tushy ever!

All I Want For Christmas

Today Papa and I ventured out to the mall for a bit (mostly so I could get out of the house) so Ramsay could see Santa for the first time! Poor little guy was asleep the entire time he was with Santa so he didn't get a chance to tell Santa what he wanted! Mama and Papa got the best gift of all this year, our beautiful baby boy!


Papa seems to think that Ramsay may have been leaving his own gift for Santa when this picture was taken!
