In three days my little lovebug will be TWO months old! Even though he has grown SO much (and I've shrank so much) its still hard to believe that 2 months ago he was still inside me. Time is flying by SO quickly! Its really getting to me, the fact that he is growing so quickly. Just stay little for awhile!! Being a baby isn't so bad.
He has been really great about sleeping. He stays up until 11:30 or midnight (sometimes later) and then sleeps in until about 5. Yesterday he took a nice long evening nap, giving Andrew and I enough time to make a FEAST of food for dinner AND watch almost half of a movie! I had to hold him and feed him during the movie and once I was done, BOTH my boys were asleep and I watched the end by myself, haha. Today he woke up more around 4am but he'd gone to bed a bit earlier than normal so I expected. Anyway, it was nice to have some time with my husband! I feel like I never get any time with him anymore. He is always working on our album in the band room or playing a video game or working out or helping clean the house, and thats when he's not actually at work! And when we do have time to spend, the baby is awake and wants attention... But yesterday was good. And I'm glad that it was because it was the last day of stand down (dont ask, its navy talk), so starting today, he goes to work every day. I dont know how long his hours will be, don't even know when he is coming home tonight, but he said he'd call at lunchtime, so thats good.
Although the sleeping has been going wonderfully, my little muffin has suddenly become a crabbier baby this week! I dont know why, maybe he is gassy or has more boogers than usual... not sure. But he's been crying more often during the day and its making daily chores and errands more difficult! The only way I can fix the crying is by holding him close, rocking him, talking to him, and walking around with him. Its like he just wants extra attention. No setting him down to do the dishes or laundry! Luckily the moby wrap that my mom handed down to me has been working for an hour or two at a time.
Today I opened a new package of three pairs of socks for him. They were sized 3 to 12 months old, but he didnt have any others clean. To my surprise, they are quite snug!! He has giant feet more being almost 2 months old. He is about 23 inches long and 12 and a half pounds. But maybe I should weigh him and measure him today, because when I picked him up this morning I swear he was bigger than when I laid him down last night!
And last on my list of things to talk about - MUSIC! 50/90 started but idk if I will participate. If I write anything I suppose I will post it. And thats only if I get a decent recording, which is not looking too good since Andrew got all this new recording equipment. Our home studio is really looking awesome! I am so happy with our band room. I wish I had more people to play music with in there though. I'm picky about who I like (personally & musically) and who I trust around our music stuff. Anyway, I started performing again!! First time was just singing back up for Celia at House of Blues downtown. Next I performed my own set a couple days ago at The Stage (also downtown in the gaslamp). It didn't go all that great! I didn't practice because it was a very last minute invite and Henry was fussy. I almost didn't go but Andrew made me. I forgot my song book, and since I didn't practice, I really wish I would have had it! I did probably 8 songs, but after 5 I was ready to be done... But Celia and I got $15 each in tips so I couldnt have been THAT bad! haha. More music - Scott West asked if I wanted to sing back up in the Scott West Band at his next few headlining gigs, but I can't really say yes, (1) because he never told me what dates he's playing and (2) because even if I knew the dates, who am I going to get to watch Henry from 8pm to 1am on random nights, probably weekends!? And thats not even considering the fact that I am NOT okay with anyone except me & drew watching him!
Well, the baby's awake! Gotta go.
