Our Texas Burrito

When we were in the hospital in Texas right after we had him the nurse was showing us how to swaddle our baby. When she was done she said, "We call it the Texas Burrito!". I love it!

Trying To Be Patient

Dominic has always been a fussy baby. The really bad colicky stuff stopped at about two months which is when he started sleeping through the night. Now he is still fussy but isn't sleeping through the night! I recently changed his formula which helped for about a week. I've been pretty patient, telling myself he will grow out of it. But now I really think something is wrong... Has anyone else had this problem? We are going to get him an antacid prescription today to see if he might have silent reflux.

On a more positive note, we purchased him a cute little Baby Einstein bouncer yesterday. He seems to love it...

He rolled over from his back to his stomach for the first time yesterday. I was on the phone with my mom while Dominic was holding my finger when all of the sudden he flipped over! it surprised us both!





He also discovered his feet the other day. Now grabbing them is his new favorite thing to do.

Crazy Life

My poor baby boy has been driven all over the place in his short four months of life. Since the three day drive from Austin to Rexburg I've taken him to Montana, Utah, and Washington. It's really done a number on his sleeping habits. By two months old Dominic was sleeping eight hours at night. By three months he was sleeping nine and a half. Now at four months I'm lucky to get five hours straight!

I'm only working 15 hours a week, but I work one on one with an autistic five year old...let's just say he wears me out! Also, I seem to be catching every sickness that walks in the door of the elementary school I work at. I've just been sooo tired lately! So, that's what has been happening around here and that's why the blog is being neglected.

Instead of giving a bunch of detailed updates like I said I would on the last post, you are going to get a picture update...which is probably better anyway!

The drive back from Texas.

Trying to figure out where all this stuff is going to go!

Bath time in Rexburg a couple days ago. (My blog isn't private so I thought I would edit the pic a little bit ;)


Now that I'm up to date I'd like to say a couple things about Dominic...

He turned 4 months old yesterday, but he looks more like 6 months. We haven't had a doctors appointment this month yet so no stats. He is doing really well holding himself up on his tummy. He loves to babble and play with you while he lays on his back. Oh and he loves his Grandpa Weathers that he finally got to meet last week! Anyway, that's about it...until next time...
