3 Months & 22 Months

Shane is officially 3 months old today!  Here is what has happened this month:
*Switched to formula.  He fought it at first and wouldn't take the morning bottle.  Prompting us both to have a melt down.  But then he was fine.  I miss breastfeeding only a tiny bit.  But I LOVE formula feeding a HUGE bit;)  He goes 3 hours between feedings now (instead of 1.5 hours), and it takes him 10 minutes to take a bottle (instead of 45 minutes).  He sleeps more during the day and just a little bit longer overnight. 
*Sleeping around 12 hours overnight!
*Smiling and cooing more:)
*No more swaddling.  He sleeps in his crib unswaddled.
*Had his 1st trip to the family farm in OK.  AND his 1st stay overnight with Grandma Jones.
*He looks different to me.  He has filled out a little more and is SO handsome:)

Avery will be 22 months old on Saturday.  She is something else!
*Makes scowls now.  She can give a mean look.  But she comes by it naturally.
*Started saying, "No", a lot.
*Can speak in sentences now.
*Starting to "play".  Meaning she will put her play doggie under the table and say, "Watch your head"...since I say that to her.
*She asks to go outside, so she can poop.  Hehehe...so I think potty training is around the corner.
*Although she constantly says, "Big Slide", she won't go down the slides.  When I force her to go down the slide, she uses her feet to stop herself.  She will climb up anything though.  We have a ladder in our neighborhood's park that she loves.  She will climb all the way up by herself too!

The infamous ladder
*I think she has started having nightmares.  She will wake up overnight sometimes crying.  She goes right back to sleep though...thank goodness!
*AND we just joined a playgroup.  We had our 1st play date this morning at Paradise Pond in Grapevine.  She LOVED it!  I was amazed.  She played the entire 2 hours and did NOT want to leave.  We will definitely be going back!


And me:
*Weight Watchers is going great.  I have lost 41 lbs in 3 months.  I have 10 lbs to go to get back to pre-pregnancy.  I love from just above the linea negra line above my belly button up.  It looks great...oh to have a waist and ab muscles again.  Feels great.  BUT below my belly button...I miss the pre-Shane look...definitely!  His almost 11-lb frame stretched my stomach out:(  I just need to give it time I guess...or should I say, I hope.

9 months pregnant with Shane and about to pop!
