5 months
My sweet little boy, you are 5 months old. My, how time flies so quickly! You seem so big, yet still so small. At your last well baby check, you were almost 12 pounds and 25 inches. Tall and lean still. Everyone loves you at school, and you're quite fond of the other babies, especially Vivian, Cooper, and your girlfriend Charlie. I think you have a love affair with Ms Ashley, and you tolerate Ms Devin. You recently started laughing, not all the time, but you did it for the first time after I was gently tossing you in the air on my laugh, the 6th. It made me cry, what a happy little sound. You're a stinker though, and wouldn't laugh for Andy or Daddy. You have mastered rolling over from back to front, and the way you lift your booty in the air to get your arm out from under you makes me laugh every time. You still haven't figured out how to go back and forth rolling over, but that will come. You stand so well while supported, and smiling is still our favorite. You try to eat the cloth I cover you with during bath time. You're obsessed with your special blanket and paci. Daddy time with you is special. I think you're going through another growth spurt, you're eating more frequently, and still going between me and the bottle easily. I love our nursing sessions, it's such a special time together. I will seriously miss it when you wean. You have a great interest in toys now, which is great, and it wears you out so well! You still sleep through the night, and play catch up on the weekends from the sleep you miss at school. I love watching you sleep, wondering what you dream about. I love you so much Lex!

4 months old today
Well, as we can tell, I have been a little too busy to write lately. A lot has gone on since Lex turned 1 month (has it really been that long since I've written?)
Lex is so close to rolling over, we're trying to help him figure out how to move the one arm that gets stuck. He also has a tooth coming through, his top left canine. Oiy, I thought I had more time before teeth! So as of lately he has been a little bit more of a pill, and a little more cranky. His gas has gotten worse too, thank goodness for gas drops and gripe water! He is still a very happy boy most of the time, and I can honestly say he is sleeping through the night. He does very well transitioning back and forth between breast and bottle, which makes my life so much easier! Everyone at work loves him, and he has a girlfriend named Charlie and a best friend named Cooper, it's adorable. He loves cuddling with Ken, and is lifting up his chest and back end at the same time during tummy time. He no longer hates tummy time, which is great. I don't have any height or weight stats, those will be taken next week at his 4 month well baby visit. I think he is over 12 pounds now though, but I have no idea how long he is anymore. He is so social, and loves being around people. Smiling is his favorite! He is getting really good at grabbing for object and grasping at toys, and loves the 2 light up music players he got for Christmas. He is now in 3 month old clothing as well. I swear, he spent so much time in newborn clothing, and was in 0-3 month for like 2 weeks before they were all too small.
Lex, you are a baby, not a newborn now! You hold your head up so well, and I love seeing your big grins when I come into the infant room to get you at the end of the work day. Snuggling at night and weekends are my favorite times, and watching you fall asleep melts my heart. I wish you would stay small for a little longer, you already seem so grown up. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to see how much more you grow this month!
.............................................................................................................................................
My suspicions are being proved correct. I knew when I was pregnant that having the baby would change my life, specially my social life, and it has. I feel a million miles away from all of my friends, and outside of the loop so much. No one visits, calls, texts, anything. I don't get invited to go any where anymore (unless it's by family, and those that do contact me, I appreciate it!)
It just sucks. I miss my friends, and I miss being social. Just because I had a baby, doesn't mean I don't want to go to Starbucks or hear about what is going on in your life, or that I'm stuck in the house. Invite me, even if you know I'll say no. Text me. Don't seem like you're not there, I miss you guys. Please?
