Since my last blog post my Little Man has Grown soo much. He is now 3 months old and the light in my life. I'm back at work and stopped breastfeeding about two weeks ago. The weaning process has been interesting. It's funny because he still tries to latch on and when he can't he tries to suck his thumb instead. As mean as it sounds I don't let him lol. I just don't want him to grow up to be one of those adults who still suck their thumbs. That's not sexy lol. He won't take a bobo which is great I think... although sometimes I try to give it to him if everything else I've tried doesn't work to calm him down.

My Baby is great though. He loves to smile, play, and "talk". We used to stay up all night and have conversations.. ok maybe not all night but from about 2 to 4 in the morning and then again from about 5:30 to 6a.m. It took him a bit to get on a 2 hour schedule. That was tough especially since during the day I wasn't getting any sleep. As a new mom you get extremely paranoid about everything. I must have checked his breathing like 500 times a day(that might not be an exxageration lol). Now he sleeps from 9:30p.m. to about 6a.m. Sometimes he wakes up for a bottle but its rare.

The hardest thing about the past 3 months has not been the negative amounts of sleep, or the fact that my body will never be the same again lol the hardest thing was going back to work. When I made the decision to return to my check lol I will admit I cried... I held Little Man and just cried. I'm ok with it now but I guess that's because my wonderful sister has been taking care of him during the day. She's a great help. The challenge now will be what to do about child care at the end of the summer when she goes back to school. Ugh.. si no es una cosa es otra!! (translation: if it's not one thing it's another lol)

At 3 months old Nene (Little Man) has his very own personality. And boy does he have a temper. He likes to watch t.v. , talk, play, take a bath, dance, and thinks he can stand already lol. He has a lot of hair and the unny thing is it naturally goes to the right. His hair came styled right out of the womb. He's gotten chunky but he's short... although he is husky... he looks like a little bodybuilder lol.

Oh I gotta go be a wife lol
