13 Weeks

So I've been back to work for a week and a half now. Its been going surprisingly great - minus the cold that I picked up from the germ infested office. I joined the YMCA gym right next to my building and have been working out on lunch (which is wonderful) - and its also great so I don't have to take more time away from Marshall than I have to. So work is good. Another new perk of working - Marshall has been EXTREMELY consistent in his bedtime routine. We try not to start his bedtime routine until 7pm, but he has a hard time staying up past 630pm. So he generally sleeps 630pm-7pm - then we wake him at 7pm to do his "routine" - which consists of bath every other day, bedtime lotion massage, jammies, then swaddle with bottle. He's asleep by 730pm and we watch tv until 8pm when he gets put down in his crib. He will then generally sleep until 630am. Sometimes he'll wake about 4am - but not normally. We've been blessed with a good nighttime sleeper. At least for now. And daytime sleeping is another story. He is NOT consistent for naps. But I do believe the two year old that he hangs out with during the day wears him out. :)

I honestly can't believe Marshall is 13 weeks old today. Time flies! We've been doing lots of tummy time. And also lately, he has been so good at playing by himself on the floor. He notices toys more and actually plays with them a bit. He has also been noticing our cat Abby quite a bit lately and seems intrigued by her tail - hehe.

I've been taking LOTS of video of Marshall doing funny things lately - or just things I find awesome. They take forever to load to YouTube so here is just one for now.

I love that when Marshall does timmy time - he always has to lift his feet. If I tried to do that it would be a total ab workout for me - haha!

Well - its late. Because have such a consistent sleeper, I know I should spend the 8-9pm hour being productive - but tonight it was a blog. That was my productivity. I need to be in bed by now - so goodnight all!
