Updates, and Breast Milk

So first, lemmie just say, I hate herbs. They make me stink, make me tired, and make me eat like I did in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy (5 bagels a day anyone?). With that said, they freakin work! I went from getting 1/2 an ounce combined, to 3 ounces combined, in one week. I'm going to keep taking them, in hopes to go back up to 6-8oz combined, so in the meantime, I'll be giving Nic about 8-12oz of formula a day. And while I don't cry when I do it anymore, I still think it's gross. But.... I saw that there's a night time formula, that apparently thickens as the baby digests, helping them sleep through the night.... I seriously am considering it. Nic is now sleeping in his crib like, 5 or 6 nights a week. I like co sleeping. I see no problem with it at this age, however, I dont want my 5 year old in bed with me... so. there's that.

Yesterday, I took my boy to the park, with LJ's mom. Poor kid was SO tired, but we was in the swing for like, 15 minutes, and then we went on the slide. I held him in my lap for the big slide, and he seemed to really like it. I love that he likes to do things like that. I'm so fearful that he's going to be boring like someone ELSE we know... god forbid. GOD freggin FORBID that, because I will not enjoy it. at all.

In other news-Nic's eating pears, applesauce, fruit cereal, peas, and carrots like a champ. He's not a fan of green beans. I don't really blame him, they're kinda gross pureed. Although, it might have been my fault, for making them a bit too watery... Next time I guess. According to the gerber food chart, since he's sitting, he can have chicken and veggie dinners... but I can not figure out how to make that. I don't want to buy baby food, unless I have to, and I dont have to, because while I'll be freelance interpreting (that's right, friday I start..whaaaaat!!??) my number 1 job is being a mom. Even though I was promised to be able to stay at home for 2 years at least... but shit happens. Shit like divorce. And shit like Nic has been throwing up for a few days now, and its not from the formula I dont think. wtf
He also will kiss me. I freaking love it. He hugs and kisses me! He'll sometimes do it to a few other people, but not as intently, and i love it. :)

anyway.

Lets show the week in pictures, shall we?

Nicolas is in LOVE with teething biscuits.

He goes from sitting.....

to trying to crawl in seconds.
He can't quite hold his fat self up yet, but he's really trying. He rolls to get to places. wacko





My sweetie on the swings. Notice the slap beacelet? yeah, my parents when to an 80s themed party. I jacked the prizes, because really? Whats cooler than slap bracelets? nothing.

And now he can get out of his swing. yep. it's awesome. I went to brush my teeth, and came back, and he was almost out. cool huh?

I'm really excited for him to be able to spend the day with my parents on Friday, because quite frankly, I don't trust another soul with my kid. NO one.

Nic is totally saying mama now! Everyone said he'd say dada... wrooonnng he's never said it. :] I would have been so depressed.

thats all.
