This week was big for all of us at the Wilbanks house. Mommy went back to work and Daddy tried being a ‘stay at home dad’ with Max. All in all, things went fine. It wasn’t so bad leaving Max at home with Daddy. I did miss him a lot, but I knew that Daddy was taking good care of him. Sophie and Ellie also came and stayed with us for a couple of days. They watched Star Wars and just hung out with Eric and Max. I worked longer days than I expected at work trying to finish up a project, but there was nothing better than coming home and just sitting with my little guy. He is really starting to enjoy lying on his playmat more, looking up at himself in the mirror and batting at the hanging rattles. He laughs and smiles and is just so darn adorable!
He had his 2 month checkup this week with his doctor. He weighed in at 11 pounds and 15 ounces and grew one inch to 23 inches long. I can’t believe how big he is getting. He had to get 3 shots and he really did great. I was so nervous that I was going to just lose it. Max screamed when they poked him, but settled down pretty fast afterwards. They let us stay in the room as long as we needed so I nursed him and it calmed him down and he probably fell asleep in the car on the way home (I had to go to work so he went home with Daddy). He slept most of the day and when I got home we decided to give him some tylenol because he really hadn’t eaten much and was kind of fussy. The tylenol seemed to help him and ease his pain and he ate.
Another big change for Max this week was sleeping in his crib in his own room. The first few nights were a little rough, but he started to do better in the middle of the week only waking up once or twice during the night. He is growing up and life has so many new adventures and discoveries each day for him. We are loving life with our little guy and are looking forward to the new year and all of the fun times that it is going to bring us.
Max is going to start going to daycare this week. Eric is still off from work so he’ll take him in for just half days so he can get used to the routine and everyone there. It’s going to be hard when I have to start taking him for the whole day. When I’m away from him all I can think of is getting back to him...he is growing and changing so much every day and I don’t want to miss a thing! I’m sure we’ll all adjust great though...at least I hope so!
We wish you all a wonderful 2010!
