Keating's weekend recap!

This weekend the weather was GORGEOUS! We enjoyed lots of fun time, and of course I made Keating pose for photos that he will one day be embarrassed of! Oh well, that's what mom's are for!
I remember my mom there with a camera numerous times to capture humiliating moments and I turned out just fine!
**cough cough**, like when I got off of the big yellow SCHOOL BUS in 9th grade and she had a video camera and laughed at me because she MADE me take the bus! How heartless is that!?

By the way mom, I dont hold a grudge about that at allllll....

(In case you are wondering, that is the only day I took the bus... when she saw a dude that looked 30 with a mohawk on the same bus, she quickly changed her mind and said she would pick me up at school instead. )


Anyways, back to our weekend.

So. Stinkin'. Cute.

The first laugh I ever caught on camera! I just know he's thinking "my mom is crazy, but oh so funny!"

Its really hard to get yourselves in the photo using a zoom lense... I really need to get a new smaller camera, mine is MIA.

Picture time with daddy! Some people say they look alike... I dont see it?? KIDDING! Brad has a mini-me. Am I one lucky girl or what?

Brad was doing a little work on our lot. Keating wanted to take a ride on G-Paw's excavator, but he was too little.
"I want to be just like my dad when I grow up!"
Soakin' up the rays!Ahhh it feels so good!

Spring has sprung!

Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my post about baby wise and getting keating to sleep. I read back over my post and it sounded a little selfish so I wanted to clarify.

I dont mind getting up with K at night. I knew becoming a mother would result in a loss of sleep and I am okay with that. But he does need to know how to soothe himself to sleep on his own when he wakes up at night. It got to the point that every time he cried he would only be comforted by nursing. I couldnt just sit around all day and night with my boobs hanging out for him to latch on! :)

Yesterday we started our 3 hour eat schedule at 7 am and I think it went really well. His first nap in his crib he cried but I went in every 3-5 min to let him know that I was there. I picked him up to help him calm down and then put him back in his bed. After the 3rd time, he fell asleep on his own. For two other naps he went down easily on his own.

Last night I let him sleep in his swing in our room again. I wanted to ease the transition to his crib. He slept pretty well. Fell asleep at 8 and I woke up up at 10 to eat, then he didnt wake again until 3:30 to eat again. Hungry boy! He woke up one other time and I shushed him back to sleep. It was much better than him screaming and only sleeping in bed with me.

Today we are back on it and hopefully sleeping in the crib tonight! We will see how it goes!


Here are a few photos for an Easter recap!
