Text of the page (random words):
tation on pandora each night with his daddy he likes to pull on mommy s hair and necklaces and searches for her necklace when she s not wearing one coloring on a snow day from daycare o dislikes taking naps at daycare going to sleep i can t wait for the day when i can put him down awake and he doesn t cry fuss himself to sleep holden doesn t like being handed off to strangers or people he doesn t see often once he s had a chance to check them out from the safety of mom or dad s arms he s okay with going to them checking out the skeleton in mom s classroom firsts milestones holden took his first ride in the font seat of shopping cart this month he loved looking around at everything and squealed several times o he s getting really good at sitting up unassisted but can t hold onto the pose for more than a minute or two before toppling over holden got to swing for the first time at the park while visiting his grandma and grandpa in woonsocket he also got to go down a slide with his daddy he got to do some sensory play with a cupcake on his six month birthday he didn t get to eat any even though he tried several times to sneak a bite posted by nichole at 8 30 pm 1 comments labels baby lanning holden saturday february 28 2015 5 months i have no idea how my baby boy is 5 months old already month 4 was my favorite month so far holden is such a happy little guy and has such a fun personality sleep uff sleep was a rough one this month holden got his first cold and it totally threw off his sleep schedule at the worst point we were up about every hour to hour and a half each night and usually had along wake up of up to two hours with crying it was rough on everyone i discovered that he would sleep next to me in bed in longer stretches so to keep everyone sane we started co sleeping this month holden would start the night in his cradle but after his first wake up as early at 10 pm some nights i would put him in bed with us this wasn t ideal but it helped us all get a little more sleep at the end of month 4 holden was starting to get back on track during the nighttime but was still having a hard time napping at daycare most days he only sleeps a total of one hour at daycare with his longest nap being around 25 minutes his naps at home were a little better usually sleeping just over an hour for each nap we ditched the pacifier at the 4 month 3 week mark he was waking up multiple times a night when the pacifier would fall out and would fuss until i d put it back in his mouth one night i listened to him blow air out of his mouth to spit the pacifier out and then fuss for it again i decided after that that he didn t really need it so we just stopped giving it to him the next day and it didn t seem to bother him at all eating holden started baby foods the last week of his fourth month he started with green beans which he wasn t too sure about the first night the second night he ate like a champ and he hasn t minded eating his veggies since he continues to eat 5 6 ounces each feeding though he has stretched the time between bottles from every 3 4 hours clothes holden wore a mix of 3 6 month and 6 12 month outfits this month several outfits that he wore at the beginning of the month had to be put away by the end of the month as he outgrew them health as i mentioned holden has his first cold this month it was more of a chest cold and it hung around for a little over two weeks i felt so bad for him as he seemed pretty miserable at night he didn t seem to be so bothered by it during the day but everything must have settled in his chest at night and it made the nights pretty long once he kicked the cold he was healthy for the rest of the month this isn t really a health thing but since it s skin related i m going to throw it in here holden s stork bite red birth mark on the back of his neck faded quite a bit over the month i wish i had a picture of it from when he was smaller but this is what is left of it likes holden really got into playing with his toys this month he has a little car shaped toy that has 3 sound buttons on it that he loves to play with and push the buttons on he loves to jump in his jumperoo he likes bathtime and loves to splash around in the water he likes to listen to music and really loves songs with lots of bass holden likes to lie on his changing pad i m not sure why but he has always like to lie there he smiles laughs and coos whenever he s there which makes changing his diaper a pretty easy task well easier than if he hated it that is he likes to grab at my phone whenever we facetime my mom or take selfies he likes to pull it really close to his face and look into it he really likes to roll around on the floor putting everything and anything into his mouth has also become a big hit with him this month his toes and fingers are probably his favorite things to put in his mouth dislikes at the beginning of month 4 holden didn t like when his momma didn t have her glasses on or had a towel on her head he just stared at her until she put her glasses on or took the towel off closer to month 5 he would start to smile when she looked different holden started to notice if he was in the room alone playing if we d go to the bathroom or kitchen quick and would start to fuss until we came back into view firsts milestones holden got his two bottom teeth this month his first tooth popped through about 4 months 3 weeks and the other cut through the day before he turned 5 months old he loves to run his tongue and bottom lip over them holden moved into a big boy car seat this month he found his private parts this month and in true male fashion has to grab at them every chance he gets holden did his first painting craft this month he painted hearts to send to both sets of grandparents holden started holding his arms up a bit when he wants to be picked up which is ridiculously cute he has been working on sitting unassisted but whenever he laughs and or smiles he throws his head back and falls over he has also been working really hard on getting his legs up under him to crawl he did get up on his knees and scoot forward a bit this month so i suppose it won t be long until he s on the go he hung out for his first superbowl o holden celebrated his first valentine s day posted by nichole at 8 51 pm 0 comments labels baby lanning holden saturday january 24 2015 4 months i m starting to confuse myself here i feel like this should actually he his 3 month post since everything i m writing about happened during his third month leading up to his 4 month birthday guess i ll just go with it it s so hard to believe holden turned 4 months old today time is flying by so fast that i feel like tomorrow i m going to be watching him graduate high school i love watching him grow i just wish time would slow down a wee bit sleep oh boy it seemed like we took one step forward two steps back in this category for the first part of the month holden started to stretch out sleep between bottles at night then all of a sudden he was waking up three times a night we hit the mecca on january 14 when he slept 11 hours from 7 pm to 6 am he hasn t pulled off another night like that but he is consistently sleeping until at least 4 30 am now which is so much better than where we were for awhile there we had a very scary episode on the night of january 1st for whatever reason i woke up and noticed that holden was in distress he was completely silent but his little arms were flailing around like crazy i scooped him up quick and gave him a couple quick whacks on his back he started gagging really hard and then started to breathe regularly again my best guess is that he was basically drowning in his spit up i definitely feel like we had a guardian angel watching over us that night because if i wouldn t have woken up right then i hate to think what would have happened after that night we bought a levana monitor for him to wear at night it will alert us if he does not have any movement for 15 seconds i have slept much better since he started wearing it and thankfully we have not had any more scares eating this is another area that things were a little wonky in this month when he was having his worst sleep he was also wanting to eat 5 ounces every 2 hours during the day we decided to give rice cereal a try as he was obviously not staying full enough especially at night on january 14 3 months 3 weeks old we tired rice cereal for the first time he did really well but he wasn t quite sure what to think of what he getting we also tried a couple different formulas this month early in the month we tried soy formula to see if it would help clear up some of his stuffiness holden was only on it for about a week though as it seemed to give him acid reflux he would fuss every time just before he spit up so we put him back on his regular formula just this past week we tried a formula that is made to reduce spit up he had been spitting up so much that we gave up on burp rags and just started using dish towels this formula didn t really help either so holden s doctor recommended that we try adding rice cereal to his formula to thicken it up a bit with the hopes he could keep it down so tomorrow we ll be going back to his regular formula and start adding rice formula we tried putting bigger nipples on his bottle too to help the spit up dave read that this could help and it helped for a day or two and then he was right back at it we were lucky with all the formula changes as holden handled all of them like a champ we didn t have to do any mixing of old and new he would just take a whole bottle of the new stuff without any trouble clothes i ve already had to pack away some of holden s 3 6 month outfits he has a lot of 6 9 month outfits that he s been wearing he has received several 12 month winter outfits as gifts that i m hoping he ll be able to wear yet this winter because he s not going to fit into them next winter at this rate he s still wearing a size 2 diaper last summer i went to some rummage sales to stock up on baby clothes i didn t buy much past 6 9 months thinking that that would get me through until garage sales started again the following summer he s definitely going to outgrow everything i have before the garage sales start again though so i guess he s going to have a brand new wardrobe to wear for 9 12 month clothing he s happiest when he s naked though so maybe i won t have to buy too much o health well other than having a stuffy nose most of the time holden has been very healthy knock on wood i m terrified he s going to get the flu or the measles now that they are going around our area he did develop a bit of a rash on the trunk of his body early this month we narrowed that down to a new sleep sack we d been using that was 100 polyester and as soon as we quit using it the rash went away we went in for holden s 4 month check up yesterday january 23 he weighed 17 lbs 12 oz 95th percentile was 26 inches long 86th percentile and his head was 17 inches around 76th percentile which the nurse told us means he s so very smart o he got another round of an oral vaccine and 3 shots he sure chewed us out when the shots were over but he s handled them much better than last time it took about 48 hours after his 2 month shots to get over being crabby but this time he s hardly been crabby at all in the first 24 hours after likes holden likes to suck on his thumb he s always been a little bit of a thumb sucker but he s been doing it even more over the past month sometimes he sucks on his thumb pointer finger and middle finger all at the same time he loves to splash in the bathtub we removed the sling from his tub this month and he has been so excited to sit in the water and splash around yes someday he will probably ask us why he had a hot pink bathtub the simple answer is that it was 10 cheaper than the blue one and i wasn t going to pay that big of a difference for a color o holden is finally interested in books i had tried to read to him several times prior to this month and he never had the patience to sit and look at listen to the book this month he has taken quite an interest in books and his favorite book is hop on pop by dr seuss he is so vocal now and likes to shriek and squeal when he s happy or really getting into telling us a story he also makes a funny noise that we call his elephant noise when he s getting into his stories he takes a big breath and then blows it through his nose holden also likes to stick his tongue out and play with it by moving it around in all directions he likes to suck on his lips too mostly his bottom lip but he will sometimes suck on the top too holden really likes to lie on his changing pad and tell stories kick his legs and squeal this isn t new this month but i don t think i ve written about it before he likes to hang onto the dish towels that we use as burp clothes he whips them around and buries his face into them and squeals he likes them so much that we call them his friends o holden has really taken an interest in toys this month too he loves his playmat and grabbing onto the various toys that dangle down he really likes to play with the activity cube we got him for christmas the huge stuffed puppy my brother gave him for christmas and his sophie teether dislikes holden doesn t like to sit in his car seat for more than an hour this make trips to my parent s house not so fun as it s a two hour drive from our place to theirs he doesn t like waking up from a nap in someone s arms he s usually pretty cranky if he wakes up and hasn t been put in his cradle firsts milestones holden hit another big milestone just two days before his 4 month birthday he figured out how to roll from his back to his tummy last month he started rolling from his tummy to his back and exactly a month later he started rolling the other way i was pretty excited when i saw him roll to his tummy as i cheered him on he just looked at me like what i do this everyday o he got control of his head early on this month he s just so darn cute sitting in his bumbo he is starting to get ticklish in his thigh crease armpits and neck sometimes you barely have to touch the area before he starts to squirm and laugh and other times he looks at you re crazy and is wondering what the heck you re doing to him his first little dimples started to show this month he has a little dimple in his left cheek and one near his chin on the left side oh how i love his dimples holden has his first christmases this month he got to celebrate with his smith relatives on the 25th lannings on the 26 and we had our christmas on the 27th gosh i love his eyebrows o posted by nichole at 9 40 pm 0 comments labels baby lanning christmas holden saturday january 3 2015 3 months sleep holden had a slight improvement in this category over last month a few times we only had one wake up per night but most nights we still get up twice he still likes to be rocked to sleep at home yay but he doesn t night like it at daycare joy ...
