Growing Like a Weed

At 3 months old Tyson has literally grown before our eyes. My guess is he's about 14 lbs, but we won't know until he goes back to the doctor in August. The question that we get most often is, "Is he sleeping through the night yet?" Uhhh...NO! He's sleeping about 4 hours at a time, which is better than 2 hours. I know folks say you can give them a little cereal in their milk and it will fill them up enough where they won't wake up hungry. Well, I guess we haven't come to that point just yet. Ask me in another couple of weeks and I may have changed my mind.

He's already drooling nonstop and sticking him whole fist in his mouth. So, from what we've heard, he'll be teething soon. You wouldn't imagine some of the home remedies that people have shared with us to help relieve some of his forthcoming teething pain. Everything from hanging garlic over the nursery door to tying raw white potatoes around his neck. Don't laugh, seriously, that's what we've heard. If you have something that has worked for your little one, please post it so we can have a full arsenal of options to try.

A Family Affair

Nick and I are somewhat settling into parenthood as Tyson is quickly approaching 3 months old. I've been back at the office about two days a week and he's been my little sidekick, sleeping most of the day away of course. We've entered him into the 2009 Cutest Baby competition through The Tennessean newspaper. Voting starts on June 17th, so be on the lookout for an email from us to cast your vote.

He's sleeping alot better at night and even on the nights when he doesn't, I find myself getting less frustrated. We're going to start transitioning him into the nursery over the next couple of weeks. Up until this point he has been sleeping comfortably (most of the time) in the bassinet in our room. Hopefully the transition will be a smooth one.

We were in Huntsville this weekend to visit Nick's dad. This was his first time seeing Tysie-pooh. Of course I had to get a pic of the three generations of Jones men. When he's alot older, he'll definitely enjoy spending summers at Grandpa Joe's.

My dad was able to make it home for the Memorial Day holiday and had a chance to spend alot of overdue time with his only grandson. Lets just say he was beside himself. I think he secretly wishes that I was a boy...lol!

That's Momma's Baby

I hope everyone had an extra special Mother's Day. This being my first made it exceptionally special. Nick and I attended church with my mother and grandmother. Not surprisingly, Tyson slept through the entire service. With the exception of a couple hand raises, almost implying an Amen, he didn't make a move. I'm sure this Mother's Day will always be remembered.

The big question lately has been, who does Tysie-pooh look like. We don't have any of Nick's baby photos on hand, but I'll be sure to tell his dad to pull some out next time we're in Huntsville. In the meantime, I had the opportunity to pull out some of my old baby pics. One in particular bears a striking resemblance to Tyson. Of course the 1970's pink tint gives away who's who, but you be the judge.

I know...I know... every parent wants their child to look like them, or at least look like they belong to them. I don't know about you, but I think he looks like me hands down, at least when comparing our one month photos. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
