Rex is 11 months old. No way, 11 months?? As in one month to a year?? I can't believe my baby is 11 months old! Insane!! How time flies! I was thinking today about our Christmas last year and how it all played out with me going into labor. It brought smiles to my face!
Lots and lots has gone on since I last posted. First and foremost, my sweet husband is working down in Corpus. It has definitely been a challenge but has also shown me some strengths as a mom and as a woman. Before he left, I thought for sure I would want to go stay with my mom or have someone come stay with me because I've always been such a chicken. What I've discovered instead is that there is no place I love being more than my own home. This is where I am comfortable and more importantly this is where Rex is comfortable. It's amazing how a baby knows his home. He is definitely at his happiest at home. Corey being away has also made me appreciate him more and really realize just how much I love him. We started Skype-ing every night recently and I got super excited and giddy getting to see his face. That was one of those moments I was reminded of how lucky I am to be married to my best friend!
Rex has grown so much! He's not gaining much weight but he's definitely growing in length. We went to the doctor today to do a follow up after his nasty ear infection last week. He weighs 18 pounds, 13 ounces and is back to being his happy self after a rough week last week. Thank God!
He still is not crawling so I asked the doctor about it today because I'm realllllly worried about it. He told me to have him on the floor as much as possible, even if he gets mad and frustrated. Needless to say, this is tough because I hate to see my baby cry. But tonight I toughed it out and let him get frustrated. It definitely will be a work in progress but I'm hoping it will happen soon.
Between being in elevators at the airport and doctor over the last week, I've discovered Rex does not like elevators at all! When he sees the door shuts, he begins to whimper a little then when it moves, he holds on tight to either me or the stroller. Today I tried facing him to the back so he wouldn't see the door close and that seemed to help so I wondering if he just doesn't like confined spaces. Interesting!
I'm amazed at how much more and more I fall in love with this boy! Last week we had a Mommy and Rex moment that still melts my heart! We locked eyes then put our heads together and he, by himself without me asking, leaned in and gave Momma a kiss! So so sweet!! And today he gave me 4 kisses all on his own! I can't wait to continue to share these Momma and Rex moments!
Wow...I just looked at how much I wrote and I'm sorry if I've bored you! More next time...I'll save your eyes this time :)
