Baby Jail

 

So we lowered Oliviers mattress this weekend, it looks like he's in baby jail when he sits up, it's kinda cute! He wasn't sure at first but now I think he prefers it. When I put him in there so I can get stuff done or go on the computer to check my email he can see better because the bumper is down low and not blocking his view anymore.

Tonight we went and saw a daycare, in home. I didn't want in home but since no centers have called us yet (we're on the waitlist....since Ollie was born) it looks like we have to go with in home for now. Honestly I doubt that I will like anyone as much as I probably should. Ollie liked Habiba and her husband and their 3 daughters, he didn't cry or fuss once when she took him or when Jonathan and I both left the room, which is good because he cries when my mom or Gandma Wiseman even look at him for the first hour, then he lets my mom take him, but not my grandma. If they take us then he will start next week with two mornings. We should know in 48 hours if we have been chosen. But I told Jonathan I still want to keep looking, I would much rather him in a center than in an in home daycare.

Ollie had a play date last week with Lilly again. She's gotten big! She's a month and a half younger than Ollie but is the same size and just looks older. She sure knows how to make the boys cry though! All she had to do was play with a toy dog and make him talk and Ollie was screeching his head off, which in turn made Lilly freak out, and then Ollie freak out more....you get the picture. Somehow I only managed to get a picture of Lilly crying though.

And its getting really nice and warm outside. We've gone for several walks over the last few days, its gotten up to 9 or higher most of the time. I got a few good pictures from mine and Ollie's first walk in the nice weather.

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

Shots, fevers and mama's always right

So yesterday was Ollie's 4 month appointment with Dr. Besnair and his 4 month shots. My sister Amélie came with us, she had wanted to spend the day with us since she was off from work. Before we left I asked everyone to guess weights and see who was closest. I said 14 lbs 7 oz right off the bat, Jonathan said 14 lbs 4 oz and Amélie said 14 lbs 10 oz. We got there a little early but were taken in right away. The nurse weighed him and I asked how much he was now. No one should ever second guess a mama! I was right on exactly, I was quite proud of myself. The Dr said he's in perfect health and not worry that he hasn't rolled over yet, he still has plenty of time for that! Ollie took his shots better this time than last, it only took a moment to calm him down and I didn't need to give him a bottle this time. Afterwards Amélie and I went for a walk with him and he slept the whole time.

The evening though was a nightmare. Fussy and whiney and he hurt, and was crying, Ollie never cries, he's an insanely easy baby and only fusses when he is hungry or overly tired. I was up with him most of the night though, and slept in a chair with him he was so out of sorts. This morning he had a fever that just didn't want to go away, it was up and then down and then back up again. He's had 3 naps, two of them in his crib and lastest more than 20 minutes (usually thats all I get out of his crib naps but today were both well over and hour). Hopefully the fever breaks soon, it breaks my heart to see him so out of character.

Our weekend was good, we went to my mothers for supper on Saturday and my brother, sister, her boyfriend and my grandparents were there. My mom and Marc-André had gone shopping earlier in the day and had gotten Olivier a new winter hat, and it looks so cute on him. Then on Sunday Craig and Reneé came over with their daughter Lilly and we had a little baby play date. Both babies were enthralled with each other and were chatting and smiling away, at one point they were even holding hands, it was so cute. Hopefully we get to see Lilly again soon!

4 months already!

Yesterday was Olivier's 4 month birthday, he spent the day sleeping! He woke up at 5 am and then at 6 was tired again so I took him in bed with me to sleep and didn't wake up until 8.30! Then we ate a little oat cereal and had a little taste of apple puree since it was a special occasion (wasn't particulalry fussed with it) and then fell asleep at 9.30 until 1! Woke up had a bottle played until he was tuckered out again (another 45 minutes) ate a bottle and fell asleep for another hour! Next week are his 4 month shots and we will find out how much he weighs. Last week there was a growth spurt and it seemed like Ollie gained weight over night and grew in length! We are pretty sure he will be about 14.5 lbs.

On the weekend we bought Olivier's first Christmas present, its a fisher price toy that has 4 balls with jungle animals in them and they go inside this tree house type thing and pop out in all different places and go on little turn tables and stuff, its for 6 months and up so in January he should be able to start using it I think, Februrary at the latest.

On Monday we went and did a little trip to my work and I found out my  boss is leaving at the end of the month, which makes me want to find a new job faster for when I go back to work, who knows who they'll hire to replace her plus I want to have my weekends and holidays free so I am looking in the government and also at the local college in the offices or something like that.

We don't have much planned for the rest of the week, we might have a visit from one of Jonathans friends and his wife, they haven't had a chance to come by and see the baby yet so I think they may come on Saturday or Sunday. Then next week hopefully me and Olivier will get to see my friend Stephanie from college and another friend of ours Craig, with his daughter Lilly who was born a little over a month after Ollie was, we haven't had a chance to see each other (none of us) since the babies were born so we are looking forward to this!
