The Redd's: Rainy weekend with C

Well after getting back to work for a couple of days I was sooo happy to have 4 days to spend with C. We have been working on getting him to sleep in his crib (versus his car seat) so it was an eventful couple of nights. He is definitely still not digging his crib but when we put his car seat on the ground right next to his crib he will sleep 8-12 hours...go figure! So anyways we plan to spend the weekends getting him used to his crib some more but during the work week sleep is just absolutely necessary so we are still having him sleep in his carrier on the ground next to crib with the bouncy seat vibrating against it because Mr. High Maintenance needs some vibration to keep him calm while he sleeps! Besides that C has been doing great he is smiling more and more and can finally sit in his bumbo (I mean greatest invention ever!) Now we can cook or put away the dishes and C just joins right in ...we are loving that! Grandpa is doing an amazing job with C and I am sure he is going to be one spoiled little guy! He's taking the bottle just fine during the day which is just great news! He is not a happy guy in the evening for Brad when I am stuck at work till 9 but we kinda figured that much considering he usually eats nonstop from 6-10 so that is an adjustment we are still working on. However, the 2 nights Brad has had him till 9 he slept 12 hours afterwards so he must be doing something right!

Aunt Cat came to visit for the weekend and I was sooo excited to have her here. She is just wonderful with C and he loves her. She gives him the best baths (I mean how come it doesn't come as easy for me...who knows but he loves bath time with her!) We went a picked out a rocking bench for our front porch so that we can rock C out there.

Daddy hung out with C while Cathleen and I ran some errands

Look at me mom I can sit in my bumbo (I was estatic!) I hadn't tried in a week or so and just all of the sudden he could hold his head up just enough to enjoy his bumbo experience!
