She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right!
It’s back to work today…luckily I’ve got these 3 cuties and their dad that definitely treat me right!
I’ve done it before…and before that…and it still stinks. I know it’ll be fine once we all get into a new routine but that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m gonna miss these 3 faces all day!
Back to work!
Y’all…this week has been a doozy. This was my last week of maternity leave and it did not disappoint! Lots of exciting things going on around here! For starters? Spencer learned to use the potty!! Go Spencer go! I just decided he was ready and went for it as I knew that this would be my last week to fully focus on him all day long. While the first day was completely exhausting for all….
he’s actually done GREAT! (with the help of a lot of M&Ms of course!) While I know he’ll have accidents and it’s still a long process, I’m honestly so happy to have the big hump behind us. He’s super proud of himself…
plus, he looks pretty cute in his big boy underwear! 🙂
Other exciting things around here? New toys for Samantha…
a breakfast date with my 3 favorite people while Robert was out of town…
Side note shocker – my picky eater actually liked my oatmeal more than his pancakes!
and beautiful weather to play outside!
We also had a playdate where Samantha got to see her buddy Sam again!
Mostly, we’ve just been doing plenty of hanging out and loving on each other.
Man, I’m gonna miss these babies when I’m back at work. 🙁
Enjoy the weekend!
Pretty baby 1…
Pretty baby 2…
Pretty baby 3…
How did I get so lucky?
Spencer thinks it’s hilarious to play with my glasses…
I hope none of them ever have to actually be a “4 eyes”…
But even if they do, they’ll be awfully cute!
Guess who turned 3 months old yesterday?! This little bundle of love…
Oh, I love her so! She’s smiling and cooing and basically being the cutest baby on the planet every day. Here’s her brothers at 3 months…
She’s still definitely looking much more like Maxwell in my opinion!
Samantha is a fantastic daytime sleeper. I’m following the Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child book and only keep her up about an hour and a half. If I get her down within that window, she’ll just happily lay in her bed and go right to sleep! She takes a morning nap for about 2 to 21/2 hours, an afternoon nap for about 2 to 2/12 hours and then usually a little 3rd nap that is only around 30 to 45 minutes. A dream of a napper for sure!
Nighttime is still a different story that we’re working on. There is something about the first half of the night that she just doesn’t want to sleep in her crib. I’ve tried putting her to bed early. I’ve tried feeding her. I’ve tried rocking her for 2 hours. No matter what I do, as soon as she gets in that crib, she starts crying and won’t stop until I pick her up. As a result, the past few weeks she’s slept either on me in the rocking chair or the bed or in between Robert and me in the bed until she eats around 2:00am. After that feeding, I can put her in her crib with no problem and she’ll snooze away until around 7:00am. It’s a work in progress and I’ve actually enlisted some professional help…more on that later if it helps! But, I really don’t mind the sleeping issues because…well, look at this face…
I am 100% obsessed with this little girl. Even when she doesn’t want to do the monthly photoshoots…
and starts to get fussy…
I can easily calm her down with a little paci time….
and then…Boom. The best little smile ever!
With our friend, Honey Bunny!
She’s starting to stare at toys a little and kind of wonder how to play with them. Her head control is getting really good…but that big ole head still gets heavy sometimes!
She’s got the most kissable cheeks…
and the sweetest dimples…
and yes, oh yes, I’m pretty darn sure she’s got some red in that hair! 🙂
Happy 3 months Baby Mantha!
We love you so much!
