The last month has been pretty great! We decided to switch to mostly formula since going back to work has been really hard. We were both sick, sleep deprived, and I never knew how much he was eating. I felt extremely guilty at first but now that he is on formula I am so much happier! I am really enjoying him more and enjoying being a mom more too. Over Spring break I read The Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and I wish I would have read it sooner! It has really helped me put him on a nap and feeding schedule. I've decided that I am a schedule person and I need a schedule! Lol! He seems a lot less fussy which could be him getting older or because he is actually getting enough to eat and enough sleep.
Milestones
14 weeks: discovered his feet, started blowing raspberries, rolled from back to side, started sitting in his bumbo chair, started moving around on his playmat (Wow! what a busy week!)
15 weeks: started sliding out of his rock 'n play so we had to strap him in so Daddy put together the exer saucer even though he is still a little too small for it, but it won't be long...
16 weeks: rolled from back to tummy, then rolled several times off his play mat (watch out!), started sqealing really loudly instead of just babbling
Started here on the play mat
And made it to here
Love this sweet picture of Dad and M
Loves: his play mats, crib mobile, tv, sitting up vs laying down, his hands and feet
Watching TV! (I know he's only 4 months but he loves TV! We have a baby channel that is really cute. I don't let him watch much but I swear he would watch it all day if I let him. )

Here's what we've been up to this last month
I turned 31!
I met some friends for dinner to celebrate my birthday which was the first time going out at night and leaving little M with Rob. It was fun!
My dear friend Jess took me out to lunch on my birthday and she loved holding M.
Rob deocrated the kitchen and got me cake!
Spring break
Grammy K visited
I got the baby ergo baby carrier and we went on our first walk outside. He seemed to like it and fell asleep.
UK played in the NCAA tournament so of course I had to deck my baby boy out in UK gear!
They made it to the championship game which surprised us all and barely got beat.
This is what Marshall thinks about them losing...
Easter is in a few days! I ordered M the cutest Easter onesie.
Here are some pics of my sweet baby boy. I seriously can NOT get enough of him. This age is really fun!
Popped Collar! hehe
4 Month Shoot!
He's thinking not this again Mom!
