Sleepover didn't go too well

Last night was the first time Charlie spent the night with someone else and it didn't go very well. He stayed up most of the night and was searching for us my mom said. I felt so bad when I heard that he didn't sleep because he missed us. I know we couldn't have done anything because we were all the way downtown but we missed him and he missed us!

Bathtime

Charlie absolutely loves to take baths and I'm adding that to the blessing column! This should also mean that he'll like swimming haha thank goodness I won't have a child I have to sponge bathe until they're three at the very least

Easily distracted

I've noticed when its nap time Charlie is now distracted and playing around. While I love that he's seeing the world around him so much clearer and wants to engage, it's kind of annoying when just a moment ago he was crying and fussing that he's hungry and tired but now piss it all. Haha but the frustration is short lived when he smiles his cute little gummy smile at me!! I'm starting to learn some tricks to get him to focus on the task at hand. The mantra is always "he's learning how the world works, let him and he'll learn what he's gotta do."

Just a thought

My little boy will never be this little again. He'll never have this day again. He's already growing so much.

Habits already forming?

I will admit that I take shortcuts sometimes. For example I started cosleeping because I wanted to be able to side feed Charlie so I could sleep while doing so. Ditto for naps! Haha but now that Charlie sometimes pitches fits when I try to feed him in a position where we're not laying side by side I've got to wonder, when does he start forming habits and preferences? He already stopped drinking from bottles when I'm around because he wants to drink from me. That's made it trickier trying to take a break and let Eric take over, so what's next? I can't side lay feed every time I feed little man. Is this the price I pay for the occasional laziness?

Sleepy time

Up until now I like to think I've learned Charlie and his habits pretty well, but just like how his eating is suddenly changing up his sleeping preferences are changing too. Nap times are now fluctuating and before where he'd be solid for a few hours he wakes up and needs interaction before he'll go back to sleep. And God help you if you wake him up before he's ready or keep him up through a nap time. A good change however is that when he sleeps he's okay with sleeping alone for longer periods of time; he may be naturally weaning himself off of cosleeping. Another perk is I don't have to hold my bodily functions around when we're asleep together. There's nothing more agonizing than holding it in knowing he child you're with is probably going in their diaper right that moment. I can also eat meals without worrying about dropping anything on him or not being able to eat it laying down-- or assembling it before I'm hungry and having it be cold by the one I want it.

Switcharoo

Little man up to this point has been super cooperative with anything I ask of him but now he's decided that he's not going to take bottles anymore. What the what?

My little man

At two months my baby boy can pretty much hold his head up and likes to be helped to stand in his lap and loves sitting propped up to sit on the couch or laps. He's growing so much! At the same time, it's so surreal to think all of this will be just a memory someday.

He's growing so quickly and I'm terrified he's skipping milestones or speeding through them and we're missing so much. I love him so much I want to see everything he wants to show me.

Memory

My memory still isn't what it was before I got pregnant, and I'm really bummed! I constantly find myself on the cusp of saying something only to have it vanish. And I'm lucky that the diaper bag ends up being a carry all because if I need to find something I can go look there-- 9 times out of 10 it's there. I'm glad that I never forget things to do for Charlie, but would it kill my memory to get it together?

Online shopping is dangerous.

Online shopping is dangerous because you only need one finger to do it. Therefore while you breastfeed you can do it plenty. Haha the other day I went eyeglass frame shopping and then quickly snapped up two new phone cases-- in my defense I had it narrowed down from 20. I had 3 tabs open of boots when I stopped myself. Since I feel wonky about myself I buy things to help me feel awesome/normal haha I feel like since things are so different I'm wanting to embrace it so I can feel like things are leveling out.
