Blane had it all kicked out of gear in this picture! He has started really loving to sleep on his stomach. We don't let him at night, but during the day we let him take naps like this some. On this day he had just had a bad tummy ache and he wore hisself out. I am so busy now with school that I feel like I only get to see him a few hours a day. I look forward to seeing his cute face in the mornings and evenings. I can't wait until this semester is over so I can spend more time with him. It is hard to believe he will be 6 months old at Christmas time! We're still working on the rolling over. He is rockin but not rollin yet. :)
He probably thinks I am crazy because of some of the faces I do to get him to laugh. I just love to see that smile and hear his laugh. But I bet he is thinking, "My mom is a nut!" ha ha...We still have him on the AR formula. It is not a miracle worker but it is better than the other we had him on. I think he is going to spit up no matter what we do. I hope it slows down when we start feeding him baby food. I sure don't want to see that stuff regurgitated! yuck.
We haven't been able to go to Brilliant much lately so Blane hasn't seen much of his Nanas, Pa, and Pop. Hopefully next weekend we can go up and visit. Nana C. is coming to visit Friday and Saturday so I can hopefully get some schoolwork done while she entertains Blane. Yay! Is it graduation day yet???

Blane got his first cold last Friday. :( Poor baby started coughing really bad and was congested. I decided to carry him to the doctor that morning. Word to the wise: Unless your baby is really sick, don't bother taking him to the doctor. For one thing you have to go into the Sick Child waiting room. You NEVER want to go into the sick child waiting room. It is a breeding ground for germs. I can't believe I didn't walk out of there with pnemonia. Yuck. I didn't touch anything and held Blane as close to me as I could. I hope I never have to go into that room again. Second, the doctor looked in his ears and listened to his chest then said he didn't have bronchitis or an ear infection so there was nothing she could do! They don't recommend anything for a baby under 6 months old with a cold. Thanks a lot. Lesson learned: don't go unless something is really wrong. That said.....Blane was the happiest sick baby I've ever seen. He never stopped laughing or smiling all weekend unless he was coughing.
Bo and I had planned on going to Lake Tuscaloosa for a few nights and were undecided about what to do when Blane got sick. Bo's Uncle Wade also had quadruple bypass surgery that Friday so the week was just a bust. Luckily Wade did great with his surgery and Blane seemed to be feeling some better Friday night so we decided to go. Blane spent the weekend with his Nana and Pa C. and spent Sunday with his Nana and Pop B. He was spoiled rotten I'm sure.
He is doing better with the Enfamil AR formula we switched him to. He's not spitting up near as much and his stomach issues have settled. I hate that stuff though. It will not dissolve you have shake it up forever. The other kind was much easier but if it benefits him I will do it. Blane is still doing great with daycare. His teacher commented today on how big he is getting and how he is laughing and smiling a lot now. That's my boy!! :)
