New toy!

He absolutely loves it. Again, I just love him to peices. He is so much fun!

Photo-shoot with mom

So I'm sure some of you are wondering when am I going to get professional pictures done of Rayce. The truth is I tried and he so wasn't having it. He cried the minute we walked in the door. So for now you are just going to have to enjoy my own personal photo shoots!





FYI: He's wearing a jacket because it still gets cool here at night.















Isn't he just the cutest! I love him to pieces.

Update on Us

First off I would like everyone to give Rayce a round of applause because he slept in his crib for 7 straight hours last night. Yay Rayce!

So far crib sleeping has been a success this week. Monday and Tuesday night Rayce went to sleep in his crib with no problems. Even though it is what we wanted it kind of makes me sad. I can’t believe what a big boy he is already. I mean it seems just like yesterday we were barely bringing the little guy home. Ah, tear.

Yesterday Rayce had a visit with his doctor because I suspected that he might have an ear infection and I wanted him to get checked out. Well it turns out no ear infection and no medical reason for his recent fussiness. It all started last week when I thought for sure I was going to have a mental breakdown. Well, I guess I kind of did. Rayce would not stop fussing or crying unless he was sleeping or eating. Nothing was working and I was just mentally drained. Neither him nor I were getting any sleep and as the week went on I totally lost it. Thank God that Ray and Sinda both came to the rescue and gave me what was a very much needed break. Rayce had his first night away from home on Saturday night and mommy had her first full night of sleep. I think Rayce might have needed a break too because he has been much better this week. I guess the lesson to be learned here is don’t be afraid to ask for help when help is needed. See I felt like a bad mommy asking for help but like Ray said I am a better mom now because I asked for help.


Oh and I forgot to mention Rayce now weighs 15 pounds that’s half way out of his infant car seat.

Making changes

Something has to change because not having a full nights sleep in almost 3.5 months is starting to get to me. So, this weekend I am working on getting Rayce to sleep in his crib. For those of you who don't already know Rayce has been sleeping with me in my bed since he was 2 weeks old. At first it worked out great for me but now it's time for mommy to start sleeping through the night. I think Rayce is capable of sleeping through the night and that it is time to make a transition to his crib. He is currently taking a nap in his crib for the first time and so far has been asleep for half an hour. Hopefully tonight will be the same.

Sleeping in his crib for the first time. He smiled as soon as I took this pic! Think he likes it in there?!

I know it's not the best video in the world but I was just messing around with my digital camera and thought I'd give it a try. Now that I know what I'm doing maybe I can catch some memorable moments. Stay tuned for more to come!

Just to show you...

...How much Rayce has grown.

This is the day after he came home from the hospital

and 3 months later!

Same outfit, same boppy!

Looking at pictures like this makes me want to cherish every moment I spend with him. He is really growing up fast and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it except to enjoy every second.

Isn't he handsome? Is anyone even out there reading this? Only a few people have left comments. Please let me know that you are reading so I can continue to post. Love You all!

3 Months

Rayce is now 3 months old and growing up fast. He is doing many new things everyday. He loves to play and talk. He can now lift his head when on his stomach and loves to smile. He has also discovered his hands and loves to stick them in his mouth. He also enjoys taking a bath and is quickly learning how to make a mess! He pretty much sleeps through the night now. His favorite time to wake up is 6 a.m.! I know I have been slacking on the blog lately but here are some pictures I have taken.

He loves bath time!
