A look back

Collier- Three months

We are full of laughs, giggles and smiles over here. And cooing! Still not profficient in the sleep department, although most nights are 5-6 hour stretches. We've done two 8 hour nights thus far. The rolling over has subsided... I think the tubby belly gets in the way. Collier goes down without a peep, so crying it out hasn't yet surfaced. All in all, he is a happy, healthy, and fun baby!

The makings of a salad

I've been into salads lately. Which is weird because I've never really been a salad eater. I think the green smoothies with the kale and spinach have kind of made me crave greens. Anywho- this is my typical salad.
Dressing- olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, agave nectar, dash of dijon mustard, garlic and lemon juice
Salad- arugula or spinach, pine nuts or walnuts, cheese (blue or gargonzola), chia or hemp seeds
Additions- dried cranberries, chicken, apples, pears, strawberries (whatever is on hand that day)

Please- tell me some of your favorite salads! I'd love to experiment.

Collier- 12 wks

Breakthrough?

My little man slept for 8 hours straight the other night! Thursday, Feb. 9. He was fussy from 7-9pm and I thought that was a bad sign of things to come during the night. He basically nursed for most of that time and was still hungry, so we gave him a bottle. Put him down at 10pm and he slept until 6am!! I couldn't believe it... it was awesome! (Of course at 4:45am I was staring at the monitor to make sure he was still alive.) On Friday we went to OKC and where back on our regular schedule of waking up in the middle of the night. Hopefully now that we are back home we can work on getting us back on track!

Baby Mason!

Mason Andre Leclercq is here!! Little man was born on Friday, Feb. 10. Weighed in at 7 lbs, 1 oz and was 20 inches long.

Collier and his new BFF, Mason. (Notice the weight difference... this is what happens in just 12 weeks time!)

We are now 6 strong with the cousin count!

Collier 2 month stats

At Collier's 2 month check-up he weighed in at 12.2 lbs.! He went from the 25th% at his 1 month check-up to 90th% at the 2 month! Needless to say, the man likes to eat. He now is 24" long and has stayed consistent at the 75th% (he was 22" at 1 month). At this time he is eating between 6-7 times per day and is sleeping 5 hour stretches consistently. Eating at 9pm, 2am, and 7am approximately. We went through a stretch of eating at 9pm, 12am, 2:30am, and 5am so this is a welcome change. (Those growth spurts are hard on a momma!) He is smiling, cooing, and laughing a lot these days and really only cries when he's super hungry. Even going down is easy with him! The biggest challenge with this baby is keeping him on any sort of schedule. It's all my fault... I need to keep our days more consistent with feeding and nap times, but it's been hard to wake a sleeping baby! We'll get there eventually!

Costume Closet

My plan was to do a collage of the following pics, but never learned how to. (Tips please on how you do a collage in blogger?) A costume closet is what Charlie got for Christmas. Since then we are all about dress up in this house!
