Entering Back into the Working World

We started putting Jace in his crib to sleep at night. He had been sleeping in his swing.

It was the perfect angle for his reflux and so cozy for him.

He seems to be doing great in the crib so far - as long as he can sleep on his tummy.

Now I know how "bad" it is to let babies sleep on their tummies before they can roll but it was the only way this kid was going to sleep! his doctor never said NOT to but said she couldn't say it was ok. She did mention her child had reflux and slept on her tummy started around 8 weeks!

I LOVE outfits that have stuff on babies' butts!

Justin was in Nathan and Amy's wedding so we packed up and went to Austin.

Jace did fairly well on the drive and he slept great (better than expected) in his pack n play!



His fingers were a big hit before I gave the pacifier back to him (took it away until the breastfeeding and latching was better managed) - but he found his hands again!
This could be a good and bad thing if it becomes a new fave!

Wow - they start young!
This is Jace and Daddy watching football! He LOVES the bright colors of the jerseys.

I had to return back to work on October 12th.....SO SAD!
I really enjoyed the time I had with Jace - seeing him develop and grow right in front of my eyes every minute of every day!

Dropping Jace off at daycare was not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong it was not easy but I didn't bawl like I expected to.

Getting my snuggles before leaving Jace at daycare for the first time

Justin and I visited Jace at lunch time and he was ALL SMILES!

I was so glad he was happy there!

Blowing bubbles!

My 2nd favorite time of the day - picking up from day care!

He is always so happy to see me!

My MOST favorite time of the day is waking Jace up in the morning - he smiles so big at me!

Ready to go to church for the first time!

We love bath time. Its officially our family time!

We give Jace his bath then play on the floor for a bit before bed time.

Strong boy pushing up!

SO HANDSOME!!

" Mommy - stop with all the KISSES!!!!"

Slowly but surely filling out!

Not "Good Bye"...Just "See Ya Later"...

We made the difficult decision to give our chocolate labs away to a family where they will have more attention and MUCH more land to enjoy!

Once Jace came into this world we were not able to give them the attention needed. They required much more than Lil Bit.

They are living out in the country where Baby is now a table scrap fed inside dog - and I am sure fat as can be now. Rebel is surrounded by other females that he gets to breed with often - I am sure he is in heaven! LOL

Good part is we get to visit whenever we want and and even pick them up for a weekend.

Oh how I miss that face! He was the CUTEST puppy EVER!!!

Rebel and Baby
We love you and miss you!
