Rainy Day
Naptime with Daddy and Minnie
It's a nice rainy, windy fall day here so JC sported his jeans for the 1st time.
A little game of peek-a-boo!
Playing on his mat.
All this and a roll over. JC rolls every now and then so I am sure he will be a rolling machine just as soon as I go back to work (2 weeks from today).

Physical Therapy
JC had his first appointment yesterday and will be going weekly for the next few months. The physical therapist said he has a good case of toracolous, pulled neck muscle. It most likely could have happened while in the womb or during delivery.
We have daily neck stretchs to do and we need to be sure to stand on the opposite side of where he tends to look.
Just a little extra effort on our part to help our little man.

Day Care
Well we finally got all our day care inorder. We originally had JC registered at a local center but at $134 a week (roughly $7000 a year), we decided to find something a little more economical. So Dad and Gene will be handling the majority of JC's care. Thursdays will be handled by a young woman named Jennifer we have hired. If we choose to use her full time in the future she only charges $80 a week (what a deal). She is a stay-at-home mom of 5 school age kids so with all that experience she was a good fit for us.
Now if anyone has any advice for this soon to be working mom I am all ears. Besides not wanting to leave my baby at all I am trying to figure out to get household things done, work, and spend time with my husband and baby. Here comes "Super Mom". All I hope is that I have more of my mom instilled in me than I ever thought because some how she managed to do it all.

Night out= Babysitter
Well Gene and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary yesterday and decided on a nice dinner out for two. Yes only 2. So we hired a babysitter. I swear I must have hugged and kissed him 1000 times before leaving the house. We were only gone for 2 hours and I never called home but I really wanted to.
Otherwise dinner was nice and it was fabulous to discover that Gene and I can still talk about something other than JC.

2 Month Doctor's Appointment
OK no mother should ever be allowed in the room when her baby is getting shots. It completely broke my heart. At one point he held his breath while crying. But after all was said and done is was so sweet the way he curled right into my chest as if to say "Mommy Save Me".
Weight is now 11.13 lbs. (50th percentile)
Height is now 24.5 inches (80th percentile)
We still don't fill out 0-3 month clothing but NB is getting tight. I know he looks big in pictures but I swear to you this kid is skinny like his momma. Though we are onto stage 1 diapers.
On the downside JC does need to go to physical therepy. He has a tendancy to look only to his left, basically saying his neck is stiff in the other direction. So we have daily stretchs to do and physical therepy will start soon. This will also help to round out the back of his head since it is starting to flatten but only on oneside. Will keep you posted on all of this.
Until then stay tuned next week for pictures from our trip to Savannah- we leave today.
