Jinxed

Maybe by posting on the blog yesterday that Toby slept through the night jinxed it for me! Last night I went to bed hoping for another restful night, but nope, little Toby wanted a visit from his mama at 12:30am and 3:30am. So, I will treasure the night of March 29th until it happens again, and I won't blog about Toby's sleeping anymore. ha ha. :-)

9 Hours!

Well it finally happened - Toby slept through the night!! Yep, that's right--9 hours straight, and I got nearly 8 hours myself! I thought I heard him crying in the monitor at 12:30a, but when I got to his room he was fast asleep. Then at around 3:30a, something woke Andrew up, so he decided to check on Toby, and he was still fast asleep. Toby went to bed at 9:15pm Sunday night and didn't wake up until 6:21am Monday morning. Now, let's see if he'll do that again tonight...I won't hold my breath. :-)

Road Trip

This week Toby and I traveled to beautiful Whidbey Island, with my mom and grandma, to visit Toby's Auntie Mishal and cousins Lauren, Jack, and Reed. This was Toby's first road trip and he was a trooper! It's a five hour drive to Whidbey Island, so I was a little worried how he would do. He didn't sleep much, but I was happy to entertain him with toys and singing in the backseat. Needless to say, he was thrilled to be out of that car seat once we arrived! He did a great job of sleeping and napping during the visit too. Everyone was happy to see him and take turns holding him. Thanks for the great visit!

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Toby's Great, Great, Great Grandfather was 100% Irish. A little leprechaun stopped by and let Toby borrow his hat. :) My folks had us over to celebrate St. Patrick's day. We had an Irish feast--Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, and Irish Soda Bread--yummy!

Playing

Sorry folks, I've gone a little crazy with the videos, but I can't help myself - I'm addicted to this little guy! Here are a couple videos of Toby playing in his bouncy seat and on his floor gym. The baby floor gym is our most recent purchase from craigslist. I'm so glad we got it - Toby really enjoys batting the little toys around, and wiggling his arms and legs. He enjoys his bouncy seat when I'm getting ready in the morning or making dinner. I think it's really cute how he grabs and holds onto the little frog for a couple seconds. With both his bouncy seat and gym he tends to hit and grab with his left hand--so I wonder if we have a lefty?? Time will tell.

just because

This post is dedicated to my loving husband who brought home flowers to me "just because." Thank you hun, they're beautiful. I'll enjoy watching them bloom. Love you.

Watch out folks, we've got a rollover!

I was sitting at the dining room table this afternoon while Toby was having some tummy/nap time. I looked up and saw that he was doing a little rocking motion, so I quickly grabbed my camera....watch to see what happened!

Bumbo

It's Bumbo time! I've been waiting for Toby to be able to use his Bumbo and the time has arrived. He doesn't like to sit in it for more than 5-10 minutes at a time, but it's a start.

Three Months

Today Toby is three months old. Can someone please tell me where the time is going??!! I went through some clothes of his today and took out the newborn outfits that are too small now. I got pretty sentimental as I went through them, and kept thinking, "he was so small, why didn't I have him wear this more, and why didn't I get a picture of him in this outfit?"

We are having so much fun with him and he is such a happy baby boy. I start back at work in early April, but just two days a week--I miss him already! He'll spend those two days with his Grandma's, so he'll be in good hands. He has recently started playing copycat--where I'll giggle at him and he'll giggle back. Here's a video of us playing.

Lions and Tigers and ELEPHANTS!Oh my!

I have forced my elephant collection upon my son, but he doesn't seem to mind.
