Donovan's First Fight! He Lost!

Donovan's sitter called me the other day at work, pretty upset. Getting a call at work from a babysitter is always a scary thing. She said that Donovan is ok, but he has been scratched pretty bad from a little girl that she also babysits. Connie (babysitter) was crying, and I told her not to worry and that these things are going to happen. I have worked with kids and I know that you can't watch them every second. She was very upset which I think reassured me that this wasn't going to happen again! Our little bruiser! Above are his battle wounds, his first fight and he got beat up by a girl. Hopefully next time he can fight back!

Rolling over (with help!)

Donovan is starting to roll over, he has got such a strong little head, and he puts it up there so high that he tips over. In this video Payton is trying to help him a little bit! I couldn't figure out how to turn off the camera so there is a lot of dead time! SORRY! I can't believe he is three months old, time is flying by, but all we seem to do is get excited for the next thing he is going to be able to do. He is laughing and smiling pretty much all the time now. He thinks his mom is way funnier then dad, but what else is new!

He is adjusting really well to daycare, and all the little kids love it when he shows up! Work is going well and I continue to enjoy it! We are starting to get out more, I got him a little hat so he is able to open his little eyes outside,. He is pretty excited about it! The problem is I can't keep him awake in that stroller! There is so much to see and he falls asleep within minutes.

We are having some issues with sleeping and napping, he just isn't interested in doing either. Staying asleep is a big struggle, we are attempting the crying it out method, which is leaving us tired! But this little guy needs to learn to fall asleep on his own. Tim and I can't believe he is our child, he just doesn't like to sleep, which is very unlike us!

mom is back to work!

So I officially started work last week Monday. I really enjoy it and it is nice to get out of the house! I absolutly love picking up Donovan and have him smile when he sees me! He did really well with the transition, the baby sitter thinks he is such an easy baby! So nice to hear! He is more tired at night after daycare because of all the stimulation and the kids love him! He is the only baby so he gets a ton of attention! Now he gets bored easily with mommy! I am excited for it to get nice out so when can go for walks and do things outside, that will make a huge difference!

Payton on the otherhand is having more of a difficult time adjusting (big surprise!) to me being gone. Monday he chewed up a box and left cardboard all over the house, Tuesday he got into the garbage and ate a pork chop bone among other things, Thursday he chewed up two pads of paper from Tim's briefcase. So he is not handling it as well! This week so far so good, knock on wood.

Above are some pictures from and outfit Luke, Megan and Little Avery gave Donovan. It is Michigan colors, so he wore it the day Michigan played the Badgers in basketball. I must say he is quite adorable! It is amazing how much he has changed, and I can't believe he will be 3 months on Sunday! Tim is working on him to start crawling, he can't even sit up on his own yet, but Tim is convinced he is not a normal baby and he will be crawling in a few weeks. He can chase after him then!!
