Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Bacon is 4 Months!


My hair has started falling out.  Damn hormones.  I remember a bunch of it fell out when Eggy was about 4 months old too.  Then, I started growing all this baby hair in the front.  I had to get bangs to help hide it.  Which reminds me, I need a hair cut.  

Bacon is such a moody baby.  Whining and crying one minute, happy and smiling the next.
He has this funny face that he makes when he gets mad or pouts.
Instead of sticking out his bottom lip, he makes this fish face and a growling/whining noise.  Maybe he is jealous of his noona's and appah's big full lips.  Bacon has such a little mouth.  

Bacon gets bored easily.  If he's laying down, he wants you to hold him.  Sometimes, if he's propped up on the Boppy pillow, he'll try to sit up, like he's doing crunches.  If you're holding him, he wants you to stand up and walk around, showing him the sights.  Fortunately, we still have Eggy's old exersaucer.  He seems to enjoy it which gives us a little break, at least for 5 minutes anyway.
Haha, I put a blanket underneath him because his feet get soooo sweaty.  

Maybe that's why he hates the carseat.  Like HATES it.  Sometimes, he'll be okay if I sit back there with him and give him a bottle but it's not comfortable sitting between two carseats.  And I obviously can't do it when I have to drive so i's been real fun on the days I have work and have to take them to halmuni's.  He won't even fall asleep like most babies do in the car.  He'll just cry and scream the whole time.  One time, he cried the whole way home from ma-ma's, all 40-something minutes.  It was brutal.  And when we get him out finally, he's so sweaty from getting all worked up so I'm sure that adds to his discomfort.  But then he'll stop crying as soon as we take him out.  

We stopped giving him his reflux medication for a few days because he hasn't really been spitting up so much.  He was doing pretty good the first few days.  A little bit of spit up but the normal amount that babies probably spit up.  But then he started throwing up a lot more and it was like curdled looking.  So we put him back on.  I'll have to see what the doctor says.

Probably the biggest milestone this month has been that Bacon's learned to use his hands.  Kinda.  He's not exactly grabbing things but he'll try and reach for them.
And if we put something in his hands, he'll bring it to his mouth.  

Bacon's 4 month check up with the pediatrician isn't until Friday so I don't know his stats yet but the scale at my mom's house says he's at least 15 pounds.  I think most of the weight has gone to his thighs.  He even has cellulite on his butt!  But his face or arms aren't that chubby.

Single mom

Eggy appah was in Vegas this weekend for a bachelor party so I got to experience life as a single parent for a couple days.  (Well, I was staying at my parents' so I had a lot of help from my sister.  Thanks, eemo!)  It's freaking hard!  And it didn't help that Bacon had one of his worst nights last night.  He kept waking up every hour or so after 1am.  Sometimes, he'd wake up two or three times within an hour!  Horrible!  (I'm not sure but I think it's because we haven't been giving Bacon his reflux med for a few days and it's caught up to him.  He's been spitting up a lot more today and yesterday.)  But then I heard some sad sad news about my mom's friend's daughter who delivered prematurely and how her baby has all these issues.  And I can't even be upset about my one sucky night when I have two beautiful healthy kids.  
And in other happier news, my friend came over on Friday with her baby.  It was our first time seeing each other's baby.  (I'm going to call her KG for Kate Gosselin because they have the same hairstyle (before Kate got the extensions).  You can't tell from the pic but her hair is AWESOME.  And I thought Eggy had amazing hair when she was a baby.)  KG is only two months older than Bacon so I'm sure they'll be good buddies in the future.  Look, don't they look like they had a lot of fun?
Haha, my kids spent most of the visit napping but it was still fun to hang out with KG and her mommy.  KG seems way more mellow than Bacon.  I'm kind of jealous.  And also of her hair too.  It really is a sight to behold.

Happy 100!

It was Bacon's baek-il today!
 Remember the dream I had when I was pregnant?  Well, this is kind of what he looked like in my dream, except he was even fatter in my dreams.




And here was Eggy's baek il way back when.

Last Wednesday, Bacon rolled from his tummy to his back for the first time.  Well, kind of.
More like his big head got tired of fighting gravity.  So maybe it was an accidental roll because he hasn't done it since.

A Conversation

So Polite

Just now, I went to get Eggy from her nap.  I said, "Let me give you a hug."  With a big grin, she throws off her blanket (I don't know how she can sleep with a blanket when it's like 90 degrees outside) and crawls over to me.  But she stops for a second and lets one rip.  And she comes over giving me a hug and says, "I boom boom that way (pointing away from me).  If I boom boom this way (pointing at me), that's wude.  I boom boom that way, that's not wude."
Okay, thank you.

Bacon is 3 Months!

Not really anything new to report.
Obligatory naked bath shot with strategically placed bubbles
I don't think he's anywhere close to rolling over.  That's probably because I don't make him do tummy time as much as he should.  Mostly because I don't want him throwing up from being on his tummy.  When I do put him on his tummy, he'll just lay there sucking on his hands.
Eggy appah is concerned that he's going to be a thumb sucker.
Sometimes, he tries to vault over the Boppy pillow.  He's already trying to crawl!
 
Other times, he does pretty good. 
He did okay when we put him in the Bumbo seat a few days ago so I guess he's got good head control.

He's not spitting up as much but he's drooling more. 

He's a lot more smiley than Eggy was.  If you just smile and talk to him, he smiles back.  He still likes Eggy the best.  Sometimes, he'll just look at her and break out in a big smile.  Or if she's nearby, he'll turn his head to watch her. 

But when he's cranky, watch out!  He definitely lets you know when he's not happy.
His sleep is still hit or miss.  On a good night, he'll give us a good four or five hour stretch (from 10pm to 2 or 3am) and then he'll wake up every couple hours.  Then he's up for the day between 7 and 9am.  On a bad night, he'll wake up every couple hours or so the whole night.  And his naps aren't that consistent yet either.  Sometimes, he'll nap for a good 2-3 hours.  Of course he does this when I want to go out somewhere and I'm waiting for him to wake up.  Usually, he just takes little catnaps of 30-45 minutes.

Once we started taking pictures of Bacon, Eggy wanted in on the action.  
My BIG baby
I told her to put her arm around him and she just rested her hand on his head instead. 

Hope everyone had a happy and safe Independence Day!  Ours was pretty low key.  MaMa's house in the morning and dinner at halmuni's.  We got Eggy some sparklers but she was over it in like 10 seconds even though she kept asking when we were going to light them.  I think they made her a little nervous so she told us to hold them instead.

Sibling Love

I love seeing them "play" together.
