Life With Babe

It's hard to believe my little one is almost 4 months now! It seems like only yesterday that I was a week overdue and wondering when the chocolate bun was going to finally come out. Sometime I just look at him and I am amazed that I carried him in my belly for 41 weeks! He's getting so big! He must be like 14 pounds now. And somehow it's getting easier and easier for me to tote him around town in my Moby Wrap. This kid is definitely an urban baby. Last night he slept pretty well; lately he's been fussing and wiggling a lot at night. My parents came to visit him on saturday and that was fun. My mom was so enthused to see him that she scared him! LOL! He kept crying with her but was totally chill with my laid back dad. She was annoyed! She can't wait to start keeping him overnight. We both agreed when he starts eating solids (at 6 months, end of April) that she can take him for the weekend. She will probably do every other weekend. We'll see. That's great news for me and B because we obviously never have time for ourselves. I can't wait to go out to eat, just the two of us. Go out and have a glass of wine and hang out in a lounge. We are still young but since the baby was born, we act like two old people, going to bed really early and staying in the house a lot. The weather is going to be nice this weekend so I definitely want to go to the park or something with the young babe.
We miss cuddling in the bed since our little guy sleeps in between us. We try to put him in his bassinet to no avail. He just feels comfortable sleeping with his parents. I totally understand but it would be nice maybe once a week if he stayed in the bassinet. Sometimes we can get him to start out the night there but when he starts crying in the middle of the night, he ends up back in the bed with us where he quickly falls back asleep.
Tonight me and B are going out to eat with baby in tow. I don't know why B is so weirded out about bringing a baby to a restaurant. Parents need to eat too! I have already taken the little one out to eat twice, the first time he was only 2 months old and he was fine. Second time was a little over a month ago and again, no incident. Plus we are going at the 6 o'clock hour so it won't be crowded at all. It will definitely be interesting when the little one gets old enough to actually eat when we go out! A little less than two months until he starts solids. I plan on making my own baby food and using organic jar food as a backup. My mom already told me "I'm not making any food." Um okay...I figured I would just send him with some already made food and some jars for backup. Anyway, that's all for now! Thank you to the 3 people who actually follow this blog.
