So, I've been back at work for about a week now and I STILL have that damn Elmo's World song stuck in my head. Not that we dont play with that toy in the evening, but when I was home with him we would play it every morning as a part of our morning play time and I would end up humming that damn tune ALL day, EVERY day, for about a month! He loves that damn thing.
For those of you who know that song, I bet you can feel me on this one. It will get stuck in the cracks and crevices of your brain and there is nothing you can do about it. At this point, Barry Manilow's "I Cant Smile Without You" would be a better song to have lingering in my head for an entire month. Cause I certainly CANT smile with Elmo's World stuck in my head. Thats for sure!! Hahaha. K, its not THAT bad. It is kinda catchy :)
AHhHhh the life of having a kid, so I am told, by many. Apparently it gets worse as they get older. I thought I would be tough and not get "stuck" in kid world, but I think its inevitable at this point. I guess its time to embrace Elmo and his wacky world.
As for an update on our little man...
Riley continues to be a great kid. He cries very little and smiles a ton (which still melts my heart). He has started singing a lot and using his little vocal cords as much as possible. He makes cool fart noises with his lips and has been making spit bubbles a lot recently.
This past weekend we think he started teething. He became really fussy at the Causeway Classic football game on Saturday and we couldnt figure out why he was so upset. We had never seen him cry so much. All day he had been rubbing his gums and chewing on anything he could get his hands on. On the ride home he literally screamed the whole way...which he has NEVER done. When we got home he had a fever of 100.9 and Nick found a little red spot on his lower gum area. So...after calling Kaiser, the nurse convinced me he is probably teething. Poor little buddy. She said he's pretty young, but it could still happen this early...
Good news is: fussiness disappeared Monday. He is back to his old self and singing away.
He is super close to rolling over now. I keep breaking out the video camera, but he has figured out what that is and stops what he is doing if you point it at him. Smart little pooper :)
Just realized this is getting pretty long. I have heard from some people that they dont like to "read" very much so I better keep it on the shorter side.
Ahhh, another quick milestone...he slept through the ENTIRE night on Sunday. Went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 6:45am. Yea, my boobs werent that happy, but we sure were. I swear his diaper must have weighed 8 lbs when I changed him at 6:45 :)
O and for those of you who dont know...Nick is home for the month of November. So far he is loving it and has done a great job! Today is the only day I heard him say he was feeling a little bored. I got there too. It happens. There is only so much tummy time you can do with a 3 1/2 month old :)
I am trying to convince him to blog since he has a pretty good sense of humor. He said maybe. I guess time will tell. Maybe boredom will get to him and he will need the outlet...
