Junior - 3 months

Hard to believe that 3 months has gone by already and I have been back to work and into the swing of things. Junior is now weighing in at 14 lbs. and has the new nickname "Tank". He is an unbelievable little guy. He has such great head control already and is smiling and giggling. He has now been successfully sleeping through the night for 2 1/2 weeks and mommy and daddy couldn't be happier! Although he doesn't sleep too much during the day, he has taken to taking little cat naps and if we're lucky he will sleep for an hour, but at that point it still feels like he only slept for 15 minutes. Katelynn is still doing really well with him and hasn't felt that he is too much of a competition to her. Junior is sucking down 6 oz. of formula at every feeding and as long as he has a full belly we see the happy boy! Both kids are now getting ready for bed at the same time so this has probably been the biggest adjustment for Dan who always had bedtimes off to do his own thing. So at 8pm we take both kiddos upstairs and I start with Katelynn and get her all tucked in and to bed and then walk across the hall to Junior's room and take over feeding him the rest of his bottle and off to bed he goes. They are both getting up around 6am / 6:30am and Dan is "on duty" in the mornings. Katelynn is pretty easy because we have always let her watch a quick show while we run around the house, so he turns one on for her and then changes, dresses, and feeds Junior and then somewhere in between getting myself ready for work I get Katelynn dressed and do her hair (which is much easier now!) and we are out the door by we hope 7:15am. It's been nice to have our nights back and I can get a load of laundry done, some bookwork or have a beer with the hubby. I have had to let loose a little on having my house as clean as I can and am just letting certain things be. I had to do this for my own sanity. We are really enjoying our times with the kids and are so glad that it's warmer out and having even been taking family walks around the neighboorhood at night.
