Breast to bottle....

So I started breast feeding Kenny as soon as he was born...he came out got a bath then latched and started sucking on his first try! I tell you the kid was a natural. In the hospital we did have to supplement cause he wouldnt pass a bowl movement. We also gave him a bottle with formula a few times the first week he was home ( due to pooping matters). But for the 10 weeks he has been with us he has always been on the breast. Well now we are trying to get him to take a bottle. And it is very frustrating! We have gone through 3 different types of nipples and he cant seem to get used to any of them. He does his best with the Dr. Brown natural flow nipples but even then he gets a few oz down and wants me! Now if I didnt have to go back to work soon i wouldnt mind keeping him latched till he is done with breast milk and on to cereal but that is not the case. Babycenter.com has had some good advice on what to do and I have followed to the best I can with him so i guess we will just keep on trying!!

Hopefully by the end of next week we can get him to take a bottle so our trip to AZ in may is more easier with his eating.

Wish us luck!!

Summer Time!

So with summer right around the corner I decided to amp up my work out from Pilates and yoga to running a few days a week. I started today and ran for 20 minutes o the treadmill at my MIL house. It felt awesome! Till i ate a turkey sandwhich on wheat bread, cucumbers, and some fruit..not bad right.. here is the kicker i then ate 5 MINI CANDY BARS!! I know right! Geez so much for the calories i lost running!


                                                 This pretty much sums it up perfectly!!

I guess next week I'll just have to be stronger and not give in to the temptation of  chocolate. WISH ME LUCK!!

Easter!

 So I am aware that Easter was a few weeks ago but I didnt have a blog a few weeks ago so I'm catching up on all the fun stuff my little Monster has experienced. Lets face it for real though every day he experiences something fun! So anyways Easter weekend we got invited to participate in Easter pictures that included a REAL bunny! Super fun right! Kenny however did not have a good nap before we left and it was a little cold so he was a little... a lot....grumpy! But Abby was able to get some good shots of him! Props to Abby!! He also that morning got a CUTE bunny ear hat from Uncle Chris and Aunt Jess! Made the pictures all the better. 




                                                         Super cute bunny ear hat!

                                                          His new friend the Easter Bunny

                                                       Already surrounded by cute girls!

 

                                               Such a cute picture with Miss Katie!

We had so much fun and we are so happy we got invited to join in!!

Tummy Time!!

We have officially started practicing tummy time with little Kenny. So far he loves it! We are not so sure he knows exactly what it is but he seems to enjoy hanging out on his tummy! He can sit up on his arms and elbows and controls his head very well. He also slides his knees to push himself! He is such a strong little man!! We are super proud!!

                                                                     Look at him!!!

                                               He is always looking around for his daddy!

We think we are going to get him a more active tummy time play mat once he has more control over his arms and legs! He is defiantly a smart little man!
