New Job and Growing Baby Boy

Colt has grown SO much over the past few weeks. He is really starting to show his personality now and it's just SO cute. He is cooing and smiling all the time now-I could sit and talk to him all day. He also has a temper when he's hungry, just like his momma. He turns bright red and cries and his bottom lip comes out-I must say its pretty cute even though he's mad as anything. He cries so hard sometimes we have to tell him to breathe. He has really grown alot as well, we went to the doctor 2 weeks ago for his 2 month check up and weighted 11 lbs. 15 oz. and was over 23 inches long!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures of him....I don't know if you can tell as well online, but his eyes are SO blue and I love it. When I was pregnant, I always said I wanted him to have blue eyes like his dad-and they are still blue. I hope they stay that way :) I started my new job about two weeks ago, which is why I haven't been able to get on here and blog very much. I am working at the Academy of Heritage Commons which is where Colt goes for daycare. He is doing SO well there and I love his teacher Ms. Amy. There are 4 infants in the class including him - they do the cutest things with them. They do baby yoga, take them on stroller rides outside, do arts and crafts with them, it's so cute. I am working with toddlers - I have anywhere between 8-12 toddlers (1 1/2 years old) in my class depending on the day. I have another teacher in there with me as well which is nice. Starting back to work has been pretty rough on me. The first week was AWFUL - I didn't think I was going to make it. However, last week was much better. The kids in my class are great-if it wasn't for that, I probably would have probably already quit. Plus-its great being able to go see Colt on my lunch break right down the hall. I've been able to feed him his bottle a few times or just hold him which is great. The hours are good as well, I work 7:30am-4:30pm. Somedays I get to leave early as well depending on the ratio of adults to children. Another reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because I have been sick ever since I started there. All the kids in the class have had colds, runny noses, etc. and of course now I have it. I've had it for two weeks now and I can't get rid of it. I can't really take alot of meds either because of breastfeeding. The past few days have been real rough because I think it may be turning into a sinus infection-its weird though because its only the right side of my head that hurts....

This past weekend we went canoeing with our Sunday School class and that was alot of fun. Nannie and Poppy watched Colt so Dave and I could have a day to ourselves and it was very nice-although I missed Colt alot. I hate being away from him on weekends now since I dont get to see him as much during the week now that I'm back at work. The first few days I went back to work, I would come home and just hold him all night til he went to bed. My parents have been a huge help since going back to work as well, Mom came over and cleaned the house for me last Saturday because I was SO exhausted.
