Jetson: 2 months old!

I can't believe my baby is already two months! The jump from one month to two is such a huge difference! (I guess that's sort of every month the first year). Sigh my baby is growing up so fast!

This past month Jetson has gotten WAY more fun though! He goos and ga-s for us! Every time he makes a little noise he looks so proud of himself, it's the most adorable thing! He looks like he's thinking, "Man, I'm hot stuff!" 

He went through a major growth spurt while he was about six weeks and it kicked my nursing butt! I was nursing CONSTANTLY! He would nurse then sleep all day long! Not to mention this growth spurt happened during California's hottest heat wave ever with record breaking temperatures. Jetson didn't seem to mind the warm as much as I did. 

Since about 5 weeks Jetson has slept really well through the night! He always slept well through (only waking up once in the night for a feeding). But now I've been able to sleep without any interruptions! The doctor gave us the go ahead that it is fine since he is such a chunk! Hallelujah!

At around seven weeks Jetson started to get fussy times where he is just kind of whiny for no particular reason. Well there's always a reason but not an important one like he wants to stand, leave the room, be in his Jammie's or in his pooping chair. (That's what we call his bouncy chair because he always poops when he is in it). He starting to really know his likes and dislikes and really grow a temperament. 

Since Jetson is our First he is used to our very quiet and peaceful house. Often if we are out and about too long he will get fussy and want to go home. As soon as we start strapping him in the car seat he calms down a little and as soon as we get home he's a perfect happy little angel. He loves his home. He's also been getting fussy if he is not in bed when he wants to be. He also get startled by sudden noise. I am trying to break him of these habits by having background noise in the house all the time, hopefully it helps! He's also starting to get more sensitive to distractions while nursing, he's very serious about his milk.

He is such a happy baby though! He loves and makes everyone he meets feel special with a smile, a coo and a goo. He makes us so happy that he is so kind and loving already. 

Jetson's Weekly Photos:

Our First Anniversary

I never really posted or said anything when Dustin and I made it to one whole year of marriage! I had good reason, I was heavily pregnant, only a mere six days away from my due date! I then went over my due date and it was all down hill from there and I was never able to say what a lovely anniversary we had! Dustin and I were married Saturday, July 9, 2016 in the Oakland LDS temple and we had a reception at the Embassy Suites in Seaside. 

Our anniversary this year landed on a Sunday, so going out to eat wasn't really an option since we don't shop/use services on Sunday! I was so pregnant that I didn't even desire to go out, I really just wanted a quiet night in! 

We got our wedding cake top that we had frozen for a year and started to defrost it, hoping it would be good! We made enchiladas together after church and just enjoyed each others company. We ate the wedding cake and it tasted just like the ONE BITE we had on our wedding day! Haha! 

We are just so lucky to have each other and I'm so thankful we made it to one year with many more to come! 

Life Right Now

I've been braving the world with a baby a lot more lately! This last week Jetson and I started off by going to a mommy group at our hospital, I thought it would be a good way to get acquainted with other moms with babies his age and to just get out of the house! I really liked it, it was nice to see other people were on the same boat as me. Jetson also loved seeing other babies, he's so social! 

The baby in the photo is two weeks older proving we have a chunky guy!

Jetson has started to space out his feeding a lot more! (He used to cluster feed practically all the daylight hours). Now he gives me a good chunk of time where he waits to nurse and cluster feeds in the evening time. That has been so amazing as I've been able to go to the store and make all the way through without a screaming baby at checkout. This week we went shopping and may have gone a little crazy in the Halloween isle. 

Since Jetson hasn't been so demanding I've been able to cook a lot more which makes me really happy because I love cooking. In the beginning I had to rush to make dinner because he was so demanding for milk!

Apple chicken, so yum! 

Dustin's fathers birthday was this week so I made him my key lime pie, it's so nice to be able to get multiple things done in a day. For a while I thought I'd never get anything done besides nursing. 

Dustin decided Saturday he wanted to have a boys night and so him and his "bros" had a game night. I made dinner for them and my Dark-Dark Chocolate torte. They seemed to have fun and it's nice to see Dustin being so social. 

Church this week was lovely as always but actually more enlightening than usual. We had family over to eat leftovers at our house for lunch. 

My grandma stayed with us this weekend and it has been so nice having her here. Jetson just adores her sweet spirit!

That's what we have been up to this week!

Daddy & Son

Let me start by saying these two are so sweet together. 

It's so wonderful to see Dustin loving Jetson so much. It's so great in our relationship to mutually share such a strong love for our little boy .

Recently Jetson has been trusting Dustin much more and just loving his daddy. At first he was a total momma's boy and still is but now he's really starting to develop his own unique and adorable relationship with his dad! I'm so happy about this!  I was kind of stressed when he was being kind of "anti-anyone but mommy". 

Last night Dustin got him ready for bed (recently he has been getting fussy if he's not in bed by a certain time, diva). Jetson thought it was so cool that daddy was getting him ready for bed and was all smiley and wiggling. 

It's adorable to see how this baby has softened Dustin's heart in so many ways. I always catch him staring at pictures just smiling and occasionally muttering the words, "cute little stinker". He loves when I send him pictures from home while he is at work. Apparently he shows all his co-workers Jetson's pictures and they all "ooo" & "ahhh". He is just doing so wonderfully as a dad and continuing to be such a perfect husband for me. 

Just had to brag a little and express my gratitude for this wonderful man I snagged!
