Geez Louizzzz

Man, I've been on a really screwed up schedule. My night job hours suck ass, and they're really starting to take a toll on my list of to-do's. Aside from not being able to get certain things done, the worst of all is that N8 is kinda copying my schedule. And guess what, Estela has been getting the short end of the stick. She is getting the least amount of sleep. Poor Estela...I love you BA! :) Getting N8 on a proper schedule is really becoming a pressing issue, especially since Estela's gonna start working next week! Not much time to get an effective solution going. Suggestions please. You know what, my bro actually offered to buy me a book that his friends are raving about regarding baby schedule. I declined w/o much thought...arghhhh! Can you say brain fart? Anyway, I'm gonna have to find out which one it was and pick it up with a quickness. Hey, I'll buy it through my amazon affiliate link! (See sidebar :P)==>

But for all of you who have been waiting for my lazy ass to update this blog, here's a few things N8's been up to.

Lately, he's been a little sick. When he wakes up and cries, his voice is a little raspy and so are his coughs. He has the cutest coughs by the way. We suspected that the air was way too dry in the room so we got a humidifier which seems to have helped alot. We haven't taken him to doctor for his little cold yet cause the benchmarks to warrant that have not yet been met. Knock on wood his cold just goes away....soon! He's been drinking about 4-6 ounces per sitting consistently, and sometimes up to 10! I think he's in a rush to grow up. He smiles a lot, looks around a lot, and seems to like being around a lot of people. We've been going to Immo's house a lot, and he really likes all the ruckus. He's been spending more time with his grandma and seems to be really at ease with her. Not surprising since she has such a good way with babies....she's raised 5 in the last 8 years. Amazing lady. N8 has also been kicking his legs, flaying his arms, and exercising his neck. He's getting pretty good at supporting his head on his own and looking from side to side. It's a little nerve racking to watch him practice cause he really goes at it sometimes, but I think he's really getting the hang of it. I'll try to get a vid of this and post it. He's still really infatuated with his hands. I catch him holding his hands out in front of him and just staring at them....I mean like seriously zoning out on his hands. Oh if his hands were the blades of a helicopter...LOL!

(Here's a recent pic of my beautiful Estela and my beautiful Nathaniel. Cute huh? Estela sends me these pics to cheer me up and to make me a little jealous while I'm at my Oh So Exciting job.)

On another note, I'm starting to make a little headway into one of my projects and vow not to leave this blog behind. In fact, I'll probably be incorporating some new things into this blog or moving this blog somewhere else. Blogger has a few limitations I'm having trouble with. But at the same time, I like the simplicity....I dunno, can't decide.

Anyway, Happy New Years to everyone!
