Barnes was a month old last Wednesday! I can't believe it. He is growing so fast and getting so long. I think he is about 10lbs. We don't go back to the doctor until the end of November for his 2 month check-up and shots. He is still in newborn clothes but he has a few 0-3 month outfits that fit. He still seems to be sleeping quite a bit and does great during the night. Even though he gets up every 3 to 4 hours on average he goes right back to sleep. We started swaddling him a few weeks ago using the "miracle swaddle" blanket and it seems to help him sleep and it has helped him adjust to his crib. He is still hates to wait to eat! He gets very impatient. He seems to enjoy getting a bath - we should bathe him everyday because he likes to wet through his clothes. We usually go through 2 sets of PJs every night! I am looking for advice from all the moms who have boys!
Last Thursday my Aunt Martha and Uncle Mel stopped by to meet Barnes on their way home to Arkansas. I can't believe I don't have any photos of them with Barnes. I am really trying to remember to take more photos! We had such a nice time catching up and visiting. We don't get to see each other very often.
Thursday evening our friend, Jeanette, flew in to visit! Jeanette stayed with us and helped with Barnes and ran errands for us. Jeanette and I put together a few appetizers and punch and were able to get several of our college friends together on Friday! Laura drove down from Greenville, Megan came over, and Amy brought the girls. I don't think Laura had seen Amy in about 6 years! It was so much fun for all of us together and catch up. We missed having Karla there but she was able to drive up on Sunday for brunch - unfortunately she missed visiting with Amy.
Friday night the girls went to dinner. LJ and Barnes hung out at the house and I was able to catch up with the girls. I think this was the first time I went out to do more than just run an errand. And Saturday I went to tailgate before the game with everyone. We left Barnes with a friend at home. It was the first time we actually got out together to do something. I think we ran out to get take out when my parents were here but we were only gone for like 30 min. It was fun to see everyone and have some adult time.
Sunday the girls went to brunch - so glad Karla got to come up and meet Barnes. It was so much fun! I am so glad I got to spend so much time with the girls - it was great to catch up. We always pick up where we left off. Thanks LJ for hanging with
Barnes so I could spend time with the girls! What a great husband! We are both still getting out and doing things which I think has been great for both of us!
