The many names of my son.....

Bode

Benner

Buppy- I just started calling him this when he was born.

Buddyboo- this one was completely originated by my HUSBAND, and this is his name for him (I wont take part in this one..lol)

Hungrysaurus- The kid eats as if he hasnt been fed in the last week. Like he cant get enough in the first gulp so he gasps, glups, and swallows like its the end of the world. Not the most appealing thing in the moms room..LOL

Handsome

Baby / Baby Boy

Stinky- This includes blow out diapers, regular diapers, man farts, acid burps and puke, and just being an all around BOY!

Bodeman- This is a daddy name as well..

My Happy Boy- Mainly in the mornings when he wakes up and starts out the day. He has bright eyes, a happy face on, and happy to see his momma.

Squeaker- His cries and protests are alot of squeaks and high pitched. He sounds like a baby dinosaur. (until the real cry breaks out!)

Poopy- :)

Grumpapotomus / Grumpasaurus- My son is the most serious baby you'll ever meet. I have NO idea how he got this, except this is how i was as a baby. He doesnt like to be bathed, his clothes changed, diaper changed, touched when he is not being held, being on to hard or a surface, cold mattress, yawing, etc. All that is accompanied by intense screaming and his protest the entire time. This is not so convenient when at church, or out in public in general. It sounds like im beating my child when i beginning to unbutton his onesise to change him!!!

I honsetly have to say it makes me laugh, i dont know where he got it unless it is genes. Dan and I are So chill and easy going especially with him. He doesnt enjoy playing a whole lot, will not do tummy time, and if he does he falls asleep or pukes. He likes to be talked to, and watch his mobile. (He LOVES LOVES LOVES his mobile) When he is sitting in his bouncer or swing he usually has his eye brows scrunched just looking around, or asleep with his eye brows scrunched! haha Sometimes he gives you "the look" when he is not happy with something but not protesting, i have to turn away and laugh, or make fun of him (in a good way). Sometimes when he is sleeping he'll be dreaming and smiling away, then let out the cutest giggle waking him self up startled and start crying!! HAHA And then there are times he just wakes up fussy and grumpy. :/

He only wants to be held, if thats where he could always be then he would. He is able to know who and whats going on around him at all times. he holds his neck up AMAZINGLY for his age so he loves to be looking over your shoulder. When hes having is really grumpy or sick days he just wants to cuddle on my chest. ♥

Dont get me wrong, his not an unhappy baby, just VERY serious and touch sensitive (unless hes being held). Alot of it has to do with his tummy as well im sure, heartburn is not fun for an infant :( Although he has started smiling the last few days and talking!!! WOO HOO Its so fun to sit and talk and have him occasionally chime in his two cents. Hes getting more and more active by the day and mommy is LOVING it!

A little bit of Everything

Well here i am finally with some free time! WHOA haha! I have SO stinking much to say, but no way to catch you up on it all. Ive got some a little bit of everything to tell you all! So i think the easiest way to go about it is to just bullet point some of it here and then i can be a little caught up and stat this going again!

Here we go...

Bodie is doing wonderful, still a puker with terrible reflux but doing MUCH better! I think the trick is keeping him full so it balances out the acid.

I have had to start formula...and it was a HARD HARD thing for me to do, but looking at it right now, it was the best decision. He has never gotten the latching on thing, and so its been a huge struggle, so i have been pumping, which is alot easier for us both. Switching to half formula was a challenge for me, but Bodie is now putting on WEIGHT! Hes now at.........im embarrassed to say...........9 pounds!! He has had the hardest time putting on weight with how much he throws everything up. But were working on that...

I have been doing wonderful as well, healing up very nicely, and only have about one or two sore days a week! My milk is dangerously LOW from having to start supplementing with formula half and half. Im working on getting it bac, but its a long and hard process.

Dan is doing good, busy. Hes still doing full time school and work, so hes only time with me and Bode is for about 4 hours a day :( poor guy

Some things on the funnier side of parenthood...

Im realizing that there are such a thing as are muscles and they are now getting quite the work out :)

I can officially say that i have changed a diaper, a LOT of every kind...haha

My perspective on sleep has TOTALLY changed, before i would have thought 3 hours of sleep was suicide, now i think its heaven!

I NEVER EVER wanted my kids to sleep in bed with me....now i dont see how you cant! lol Mainly because he has hos 4 am wake up due to his reflux and gets in gagging and puking fits, and the only thing that helps is if he is on his tummy inclined. (mommas chest) and Dan leaves at 4:30 so i need to cuddle.. ♥

i went on my first outting with out dan or baby, it was hard but SO refreshing. I came home and Dan had given him a bath and gotten him into his jammies. Such a good husband. I thought he needed his diaper changed and as dan picked him up to go change him he had a BLOW OUT! by the time we got up stairs to change him....he had NO DIAPER ON!!! HAHAHA Dan had gotten him dressed without a diaper and then blew out his outfit! it was CLASSIC

I think i beat up on Bodie more then a big brother would at times. Im either, bumping him, scratching him, just all around beating him up ;)

One ting i CAN NOT STAND, is when im wearing my sling with Bodie in there sleeping, and im either in the prayer room or something and people come within centimeters of hitting him with out even knowing. UH, seriously one of these days someone is going to run into him and find themselves on the floor! haha good thing im always watching and able to move before hand. WATCH WERE YOUR GOING!

I could go on and on BUT im not going too, i just wanted to catch up a bit, and now i can keep up for here on out...hopefully.. :)

Love you all,
Ash
