17 lbs ...... BUT

So we headed back to the doctor today to have our cold checked on again. Nicholas still has a nasty cough but his lungs and ears are still clear. YAY!! So far Jamaica is still a go! We'll head back one more time next week if his symptoms still persist. Apparently the longer the symptoms stick around, the more likely it will turn into some kind of infection. We certainly want to be super healthy or atleast bring meds with us if Nicholas is going to sick. Let's all pray the little guy gets well soon!

So we had another weight check today. Apparently all those feedings Nicholas missed due to feeling too sick didn't stunt his growth at all. He weighed in at a whopping 17 lbs! BUT when they checked his percentile he's down to 89% instead of 99%. So the little guy must be trimming down :) NOT!!

Nicholas loves to lounge with Daddy on football Sundays....

Everytime I think I've grown out of the Patriots gear, another outfit appears!! Can't we change it up to the Celtics or Red Sox once in a while?

I love when Mom lets me lounge around and watch my girlfriend Rachel Ray cook in the evenings. (Little does Nicholas know this is our trick to keep him awake until bedtime - he LOVES to watch TV!)

It's so much fun to try on clothes for our trip to Jamaica. I'm growing so fast though that a lot of it will probably only be worn once. Thanks to Auntie Erin and Uncle Dave for this cute Aruba shirt they brought back for me from their last vacation!

My future is so bright..... I gotta wear shades :)

So many outfits to try on for vacation! Think Mommy is overpacking a little bit??

Here's my first try at sitting in my highchair!! Pretty comfy...

Daycare really wears me out when I have a bad cold. I spent 3 hours sleeping in my carseat on this day.

I called it!

Since the little guy was born, I have been saying that I am trying to keep Nicholas as healthy as possible since I was convinced he would get sick as soon as he started daycare. Well.... here we are, one week into daycare and he already has his first cold :( Poor little guy - his nose is so congested. We went to the doctor today and luckily his lungs and ears are clear and he has had no fever. Unfortunately there's nothing we can give him for the congestion so we just have to wait it out. They'll be a lot of sleeping in the bouncer and on Daddy's chest this week. We propped up his mattress today so hopefully that will help him sleep better in his own bed.

We did get an official weight check for 14 weeks old now - 16 lbs, 12.5 oz!!

Here are a couple pics of the Nicholas in happier times. Get better fast my little man!!

3 months old :)

We celebrated our 3 month birthday this week! Our new accomplishments are being able to roll over from belly to back and doing a whole lot more talking!! We also started daycare this week! Luckily Mommy was the only one in tears when heading off for the first day. Things seem to be going well so far. He's eating and sleeping well and seems happy every time Dan pops in to visit. I haven't gone to check on him yet because if I go, I won't be able to leave without him :) Hopefully this week I'll have a bit more will power!

No doctors appt this month so we'll have no official stats but we're guessing ~16lbs and ~25" long. I posted our usual picture with a sign and then I got these cute stickies from Dan's cousin Bethany that I had to try out. So now it will be two pics per month :)
