That shall be Milo's new name. He has taken to fighting naps during the day. Once he takes his nap he is awesome but getting him to fall asleep is a total chore. At least he still sleeps well at night.

2 months and 4 year visits.

So we took both kids to the Dr. yesterday. Eve had her 4 year appointment and got 4 shots. She did amazing at them and only cried at the end which made me get a little teary. Milo got 4 shots and one oral vaccine. So we had 2 kids and 8 shots. They both were pretty good last night and we promised to take Eve to build-a-bear today as a special present for being so good during her shots. I happen to have $20 in free coupons for there so it was the perfect way to bribe her. Milo is bigger than Eve was at a year. At a year Eve was 13lbs 3oz and 23.5 inches.

Singing

Last weekend when we were at Adam's parents house they wanted to know if Eve wanted to sleep with them. She didn't want to while I don't blame her because she isn't super close with them this coming from a kid who always finds ways to scam her way into our bed or into my parent's bed ALL.THE.TIME. I knew it kind of hurt their feelings and since I am trying to help her become closer to them I struck a deal with her that if she slept with them this one time I would let her spend the night in our bed when we got home for one night. She agreed as long as I also sang her our song. Not a big deal right? Well I go to put her down and Adam's parent's bed and my mother-in-law laid with her. So Eve is like sing my song now mom. So I had to sing the song in front of my mother-in-law. I have a TERRIBLE singing voice but I did it even though I was super embarrassed and she spent the night with them and all were happy.

So here is our song sung by the person who should sing it to her every night because I am going to make her tone def with my singing.

4th of July weekend.

2 months!

What happens when you wait until 8:00pm to take pictures of your son?

He gets tuckered out after 2 pictures.

Milo's sleep.

To answer WinsyWade's question of how we get Milo to sleep at 8:30pm.

Honestly he has been a decent sleeper since the day we brought him home. When we first brought him home he would only cry when he was hungry. Well now the only time he really cries now is when he is tired. Every night for the last 2 weeks he has been getting fussy around 8ish and after being changed and feed just keeps fussing. That is his cue that he is tired. We swaddle the crap out of him in the miracle blanket and he immediately calms down. We lay him in his pack-n-play and he chills out and falls asleep within 15 minutes.

He has been getting better and better at sleeping at night and sleeps from about 8:00pm-5:ooam consistently. I personally would prefer if he stayed up just a touch later so that I could sleep in a little longer but am very thankful for the sleep I am getting so I won't push my luck and enjoy the down time I get with Adam while the kids are sleeping.

So to answer your question Winsy it is all him. He likes to sleep and he likes to eat. He is the total opposite of what Eve was as a baby.

I moved on.

I cancelled my appointment although I fibbed a little to do so. I said I was going out of town which is true and said I would reschedule when I returned which is not true. I then thought I had found the perfect sounding place for physical therapy until I called and they no longer take my insurance. I went back to my insurance website and after I discarded the physical therapists from that clinic they only had 9 possible choices within 25 miles of where I live. I live in a big city and have a big name insurance carrier so this kind of threw me for a loop. So I chose one at random and I feel good about it. She is in between my house and work so it is convenient from either place, she has late night appointments, and when I described my pain the receptionist said she specializes in that area as she used to work with pregnant patients. The only downside is I have to wait until July 15th at 7:30 pm to go there. I am excited though.
