I started back to work this month which was kind of a bummer. I was worried about how it would all go with trying to breastfeed and pump at work but so far it has been ok. My job changed while I was out on maternity leave and my afternoon group of kids all moved away. Now I have a class at Belle Hall in the mornings and then I drive over to James Island in the afternoons to see itinerant kids. I usually pump once in the morning at work and then run home in between to feed him and that tides him over until I get home in the afternoons. It is alot of running around for me but it's worth it! Brooks was very lucky and he got to hang out with his Gram and his Nana for 2 whole weeks each this month! They were great babysitters and it was great for me as well because I have complete peace of mind while I am at work knowing that he is well taken care of. (and also they do laundry and cook! win win!)
Health stats: He has been doing great! There were no doctor visits this month so I don't have anything official to report but he hasn't gotten sick or anything yet so that is nice.
Sleep: He had his first "sleeping through the night" experience this month! It was kind of a big deal! On 4.16 he slept from 7:30 at night until 5:45am. Of course I woke up and just watched the monitor waiting for him to wake up, and there was only one or two repeat performances but I think we are getting there!
Clothes/diapers: same. 3-6month clothes and size 2 diapers.
Milestones: Main milestone is rolling easily from front to back and back to front. He usually rolls over at some point during the night and seems to prefer to sleep on his tummy. We also put the bumper back in the crib because he was rolling over and banging into the sides and sticking his arms through the slats and getting them stuck :(
Likes: Chewing on his hands constantly, Sophie the giraffe toy, these little rolling caterpillar balls, his bouncy seat, taking long walks in the stroller, standing up
Dislikes: napping, pacifiers
We also got to go to Granny's house for Easter this month and B got to hang out with his cousins and meet his great grandparents!
We also did a little photo shoot when Gram was here and tried to recreate this photo from Todd's childhood…I think its a pretty good replica! We couldn't get any snow for the background but other than that I think we nailed it.
