It was an awfully emotional day... We went to baby's first funeral. A former student of mine committed suicide this past week and we went to the memorial. Tenz did not like it. He was louder and fussier than I've ever seen him. As soon as I got him out of the building, he was fine again. Then, we went to D&T's me tor dinner. He has so many people that love him it is exhausting for the poor baby. I am hopeful he will sleep a long time tonite! Yay!! He has such beautiful Aunties to take photos with!! His eye is still a little goopy, but getting better everyday. Hopefully he won't have to sleep in the chair tomorrow night...

I was not well last nite...so I didn't update. But I did take pictures of him yesterday, so the picture a day is still valid. The June 8th pics are the ones with him in yellow. He went to the doctor's yesterday and he weighs 12 lbs 4 ounces! He is gaining 2 lbs a week! What?! Hope he doesn't keep this weight gain up, I won't be able to pick him up if he does. I love my sweet, sweet baby. He has been so good with this whole virus things, he hasn't cried a lot, he hasn't been very fussy, he is pretty amazing. He is starting to squawk and screech and kick his legs all the time. I wish I could put videos up here, he is so cute. His eye is still leaking and such a little, but he is almost well, I hope. Poor baby woke me up in thel middle of the night sneezing and crying and gooping. His eye had just swollen up huge and he had yellow pus coming out of his eye. He was super, super congested. I felt so bad for him, but he didn't seem all that miserable...he is such a sweet little baby. We used the blue sucker thing on him and kept wiping his eyes. He was uncomfortable enough that he nursed last night! Course he got frustrated and freaked out, but he did it for a long while. We took him to the doctor today and it is a virus, so no pills or gels or anything. We just have to wait it out and hope it doesn't turn into a bacterial infection. His eyes are all watery and puffy and red today, but they aren't yellow or goopy. He is supposed to sleep in his carseat for the next few days so the mucas and stuff doesn't pool up. Blah. None of this is fun. Baby is 50 days old today...he is almost 2 months old! I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe how quickly time is flying and how larg he has become. It is crazy town. Poor baby today, his eyes are a little puffy and red and watery. He was out in the wind for a few minutes and the pollen count was really high today, I think he may have allergies? I know that baby's are supposed to go for a longer time without being cursed with allergies, but he doesn't have a fever and doesn't seem to think anything else is wrong, so I'm not sure? He nursed today, that is how not good he felt. He had eaten a fulll bottle and I was holding him and he was just rooting around...So I gave him a nip just to see and he took it! That is the first time in a huge long time. He didn't suck on it to eat but to comfort. He fell asleep and it has been
Baby's first pride! We went to the Pride Parade this morning and he was great with all the people and noise. He really is a perfect little guy. He slept a lot today, growing again I presume. I am amazed at how much his face has changed, he doesn't even look like the same baby as 49 days ago! He was much more relaxed today than yesterday, not as much talking and babbling...which is OK but made it where I couldn't record any video. We have a busy week of trainings, so these may be short and sweet posts or filled with interesting tidbits. I also start SLCC this week, so there could be even more craziness. Daddy was also playing Cave Baby today...I wish the diaper was the brown one. Baby is learning to use his voice for sure now. It isn't that he is crying or anything really, just making baby squaks and yells and then little noises. Settling down for naps has become much more vocal this week. We had a BBQ with the Burns and TT tonight. So good for Tam to finally meet Tenz and Lavandar...He has been wearing disposable diapers the past couple of days and they leave little lines and marks and he sweats thru them just like he does the washable ones, so that makes me feel a little better. I was having some guilt about if us being cheap was causing him discomfort. Plus, the disposable diapers stink of so much perfume and odor suckers. Yuck! Another super busy day...and baby didn't nap a lot, so he is in bed already. Worried he'll wake up really early tomorrow, but luckily it is Saturday so I'll be able to nappy pappy. We watched an assembly, 5 passage presentations, helped herd 6 year olds at a birthday party, and then came home and had a fussy baby all evening. Boo!
So this is a picture of him all bundled up and sleeping...you can really see the difference in his size and face from the earlier on pictures. He just grows and changes everyday! Baby didn't nap well today...He slept a full 7 hours last night, so I'm hoping that is why he didn't sleep well today and he will sleep for a long time tonight. Fingers crossed! His shirt says "Mommy's New Man" it is pretty cute. He is pretty cute. He hung out with Meagan and Michelle in the evening and Tyler during the day. Busy, busy time! Pretty awesome. We are all very tired...so more tomorrow.
Nake baby bath pictures! Pete was playing with T after his bath and he was so cute that I had to snap a few pics! This baby is such a smiler! Such a baby, cooing little baby that I feel so lucky and grateful every single day. We went to school this morning and he was adorable and then we met Ms. Lisa for coffee and he was just calm and sweet the whole time. Only two more days of my official maternity leave...I am kinda sad about it, but eager to get back into some structure and purpose again.
