3 Months

Its nuts…Ella is officially NOT a newborn…and I know that and say it because the Enfamil Newborn formula I stole from the hospital in case we needed to use it in an emergency, says newborn – 3 months…so that means Ella is a real infant NOT a newborn anymore. Wow. That has flown by!

This month was the biggest transition month. We went from staying home with Mommy from work everyday to staying with Nana. We were SUPER nervous about the bottle situation but she didn’t put up as big of a fight as I thought she would. Proud to say she now takes a bottle from anyone no problem! I’m still nursing full time so the bottles are few and far between aside from Nana during the work week.  Little Sister had her first co-bath with Big Brother this evening…and it was weird to see BOTH OF MY CHILDREN in the bath together. I knew it would happen SOME day…but its surreal to see both kids playing together. I had one of those moments of “oh my god…my kids are playing together…and I’ll tell them these stories when I’m old and gray!”


Ella truly ADORES her big brother. Always watching him, laughing at him and NEVER gets annoyed by his heavy hands (he lends on her sometimes!)  Owen got to hold his baby sister for the first day a few days ago…

My lanta you should have seen the excitement on his face. It was ADORABLE! Yosh was standing RIGHT there…but Owen felt so proud to hold her. Owen said “Look Mom…I’m a real big brother now because I can hold my baby!” Oh so cute…but deep down I’m a tad terrified that one of these days I’ll be in the shower or something and see Owen coming holding his sister…I’d sh*t myself!

Anyway…the life of a working Mommy of Two…I’m exhausted…ALL the time! Had a rib injury last weekend (don’t try and play water polo at your college alumni game 11 weeks post-baby…busted my rib on the side of the pool trying to get my fat a$$ out of the water after playing TWO whole minutes!!!!!) Oh geez. So that has made sleeping, moving, laughing, breathing, all kinda difficult! haha Why me?!?


ps. The Alumni kicked butt and actually beat the current team! Go Old Yotes!

 

Here are her 3 month photos…she wasn’t in the smiley mood…at all really! lol

Owen and Ella…both at 3 months…
