Dax's Visit to MWE

Free digital scrapbook made with Smilebox

Memorial Day

We had our first pool party! Ok, so it was just our little fam and Sara and Ross. I didn't even take any pictures of Dax dangling his toes in the pool! Bad, Mommy. Dax wasn't too interested, that's probably why picture time didn't happen. On Monday, I did take some pictures, though!

Our Second Month of Fun!

Happy Two Months!

Today is Dax's two month birthday!  And yesterday was my 31st birthday!  It was a far cry from my 30th celebration!  Marnie came to spend the day with us!  Kim and I went to get pedicures and then Cameron took me to Perry's for dinner!  Great day!  Now our night...not the same.  Dax was fussy and whiney from 1am on!  Needless to say, Mommy didn't get much sleep!  Today Daddy took us to see the house he is renovating!  We love outings!  Tomorrow at 9am we go back to the doctor!  I am excited to see how much Dax weighs (a ton).  I am NOT excited to see my baby boy scream while he gets his shots, though. 

Rhythm

Tomorrow marks 8 weeks since Dax made his arrival into the world!  I can't believe my little baby is growing so fast!  I have already started a bag of clothes that he has out-grown!  Is a long dude! 
I am happy to report that Dax is now functioning in a pattern.  I wouldn't go so far as to say he has a routine, but he definitely eats, stays awake for a little while, gets fussy, then naps.
We go for 2mo shots next week, and I am dreading it!  He got terribly fussy after his second Hep B shot, so I can only imagine what it will be like after getting 3 shots! 

I did it again!

I seem to have gone quite awhile without a post...AGAIN!  So the doctor's visit was uneventful.  Not sure to be happy or sad about that!  There aren't any problems with Dax, he is just fussy, and there isn't much I can do about it!  Of course I'm happy that he doesn't have any major conditions, but having a 'fix' would have been great!
Last Thursday we visited Auntie Kim and she let us borrow the neatest swing!  This swing allowed our little family to have a really great weekend!  Which all came crashing down yesterday afternoon...
Dax loved this swing (for about 2 days)!  They were the BEST two days we have had!  Not only did he take monster naps in it, but he would just be content swinging (awake and NOT crying!!)
Saturday afternoon we attended our first kiddo birthday party.  I had major anxiety about going.  Not only because Dax is so young and kids have so many germs, but I had no idea how he would handle it.  I ended up wearing Dax in his Lucky Baby sling and he was a jewel!  He loved the roar of the party and slept in the sling for an hour and a half!  Once again, making Cameron and I look like liars when we tell stories of his screaming fits!  But, I'll take a tarnished rep in exchange for a few hours of a happy baby!  Sunday we 'helped' Daddy add on to our amazing fish pond!  This required a trip to Nelson's and Lowe's both of which he was fantastic for!  I obviously pushed his limits by attempting to take him to the grocery store next.  He went nuclear in the parking lot, so we headed home.  And that is where the honeymoon ended.  The rest of our afternoon and evening was full of trying to sooth an un-soothable baby.  The night wasn't much better.  And now he has a serious case of the Monday's.  Looks like I won't be going to the grocery store today either...

Pittenger Birthday Party Saturday afternoon

Cameron's weekend project!  The bubbly fountain area is the new part!  He is so handy!

Make it stop...

We are going to the doctor today in an attempt to rule out any MAJOR causes of all the screaming.  I just want to make sure it's not reflux or a milk allergy.  If doc says everything is normal, guess we will just have to grin and bare it!  I'm sure he will be a perfect angel at the doctor, just like every other time!  More later!
