Jayden's new found toys...


Sitting in his Bumbo...


Playing w/ his ball...



Yuummm..Banana's... Wow a SPOON!

4 Months and 3 Weeks...

My baby will be 5 months ONE DAY after my 30th birthday!!! What a great milestone for us both... So today, I told Rudy to give him some tummy time, so that he can move around a little more. We usually allow him on his back and he loves to play with his toy mat w/ ball. He hits, hits and hits it, it's soo funny.. Well we put him on his stomach and what did he do! TRY TO CRAWL!!! I got a few pics...


Did I mention... he was NOT HAPPY!!! lol He fell asleep all of 5 minutes after this..

Miscellaneous Photos...

My First Baseball Cap!!

Of course dad had to turn it backwards! But don't I look SOOO CUTE!!

4 months...

So my baby is 4 months old!!! Wow
He is now 15lbs and 11 ounces and 25 inches long..

He is eating Rice Cereal and trying to sit up on his own! He also likes to lunge forward when sitting on your lap and he has alittle bit of leverage. Boy did he give me a scare sitting on Rudy's lap! geeze. He's going to be a terror once he is mobile! He doesn't like sitting back, if he's sitting back, he will use his elbows to push hiself forward, which thankfully he's strapped into his Papisan or sitting on someone's lap. Here are a few pics of my baby boy!!





WE ARE BOTH WORE OUT!!! Jayden so tired his sock is hanging off!! lol

Jayden's Philly Visit...

Happy Holi-JAYs.....

Is he not the CUTEST lil boy you've ever seen???
Look at those cheeks.... Look at those lips!!! He is just SO ADORABLE!!!!

Anxiety...

So tomorrow/today Jayden will be going to the babysitter for the first time. I have my company X-Mas party to attend and I guess he has to get used to her eventually.... I'm sitting here at 1:18 like I'm Santa... Making a list, checking it twice... To make sure I didn't forget anything... All I can think about is my baby w/ some other person for a few hours???

Well i'm going to bed and I'll let you know how that works out!

I'm 3 months today!!!

Cool Slideshows

Photos and an Update (finally)

It has clearly been toooo long since I last posted. Mr. Jayden is almost 3 mths (on the 12th, he'll officially be 3 mths), although he was 12 wks this past Tuesday... Do I have to do the weeks thing? I hate when people say, Oh my son is 42 wks... huh??? lol Just say he's almost ONE. So I think (probably not) from this point forward, I wont do the WEEKS, it's just MONTHS and I'll get sick of that soon too.. lol Dont you love when people say, oh he's 42 months... (you have to calculate in your head.. oh he'll be 4 in 6mths).

So when asked, he's almost 3 mths... instead of 12 wks and 3 days... 3 hrs and 51 mins old!

Jayden's newest things are.. scooting up on his knees, moving his self around in his pack n play (yes you will lay him facing one way and he wakes up facing another way), TALKING.. oh goodness, the coooos and noises he makes are sooo cute and funny. My husband and I both swore he said HI, but I'm sure the lack of sleep said HI and not Jayden... But he will look you straight in the eye as if he's having a full conversation with you and you ask him a question and he responds... it's tooo funny! He's enjoying his swing a little more, he might last an entire 22 mins now... but if you turn on the Mozart, he'll fall asleep and last about 27 mins.. lol OH and he likes it on speed 4... I guess he's adventurous!!

This photo was actually taken today, he woke up with SMILES GALORE and of course, I couldn't get a pic of ONE!! lol He has the cutest smile on this side of creation... He is truly a happy baby.. Still peaceful and calm... he likes to just sit w/ mom and chill.

This photo was taken in Philly at my dad's house.. We went home for Thanksgiving at the spur of the moment, I had a dose of homesickness... lol

This photo is actually on Thanksgiving. As you can see Jayden was NOT too happy about wearing all of those clothes, hes' a FLORIDA baby, he knows NOTHING and I mean NOTHING about all those clothes... But he had to admit, he looked TOOOO CUTE in his sweater, courdoroys and Timberlands....

Again, too many clothes, A COAT??? What in the world is a COAT!

I wish I would have videocamed this one..lol

Jayden is going to be a handful, he gave his Big Sister such a HARD TIME when it came to her feeding him. I needed 10 mins to just get dinner on the stove, but he was hungry, so I thought, what harm could it do if she sat and fed him... Oh well Jayden wasn't having it and it was the FUNNIEST thing ever.... Too bad I didn't capture it on film....

Jayden @ 12 wks....

Jayden Talking...

And on the 7th week he SLEPT!!

I delivered Jayden Rudiger Ellis 7 wks ago (yesterday), hard to believe. Well Jayden is still an angel and very calm and serene. Let's look at the things he's been doing in the last 7 wks.
1. He has turned from his stomach to his back (3 times).
2. When you call his name, he looks you right in the face as to say, WHAT?? (lol)
3. He is drinking between 3 - 4 oz per feeding, he's like his momma, eat a little now, come back for the rest later.
4. He's still napping every 2 hours, waking up to eat during the day.... BUT.....
LAST NIGHT HE WENT TO BED AT 10:30P.M. AND MY BABY DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 6:30A.M..

Last week he's been going to sleep around 10:30 and waking up at 4:30 (which I was excited about) but this new found, SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! whewwwwwwwwwwwww whewwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Here are some photos...
