I like it though. It's an accurate representation of these three in all their wild, unpredictable, naughty, adorable truth!
Jonah's 3 months stats:
No clue on height and weight, but we go back to the doctor's at 4 months so stay tuned...
He is getting more opinionated. We call him baby "Al" sometimes -- which stands for "Ambrose-lite." He's not quite as crazy as Ambrose was as a baby, but he's definitely not as easy as Asher.
He's had cradle cap for a while and I finally got serious about scrubbing it off yesterday and got most of it removed... along with giant clumps of my sweet baby's awesome hair! BOO! I cried.
He is a champion night sleeper and the more vigilant and protective I am over his day sleeping- the happier he is.
Mama stats:
Can we just briefly discuss how ANNOYING losing weight is? I'm nursing, and nursing a lot at that, and so I am a starving beast and then I need to drop 20lbs while I am at it.
And it's very nice of you to tell me to not worry about it, but I hate these same 6 outfits I have been wearing for the last 8 months. And forget shopping--at this point that would just be self-esteem suicide. I would like to wear my old clothes again someday. I got them out of the attic today, and a few pairs of pants fit... just barely if I work at it. Wah wah, I know. There are real problems in the world.
So, I keep plugging along, making good food choices, trying to get in daily workouts no mater how tired I am, drinking more water, and trying to remain patient while the pounds very, very slowly come off. I guess I should be glad they are coming off...very, very slowly.
*Fun final fact: (read "fun" in a sarcastic tone please) I seem to be losing pounds at almost exactly the same rate that Jonah is gaining them. Ha!
Ok, bye.

I just have to say AMEN to the fact that losing weight is annoying. And frustrating. I had my baby 9 months ago. Still have like 10 lbs to lose. Ugh. Hating it.
ah, i like those boys together.
you probably don't want to hear this, but my advice is buy a new pair of jeans. coming from someone who didn't lose weight until i stopped nursing--that is a better boost for the self esteem than squeezing into old pants. at least for me it was.
also--why didn't anyone tell me that not everyone loses weight while they're nursing?? i feel like since i learned that the hard way i have heard other people say it, but no one ever told me before. it was a rude shock.
anyway, seriously, don't stress it. or jonah's awesome hair. :) it will all come back to normal.
ps not that i'm implying that you won't lose it all until you stop nursing, that was just my thing! i just mean if it doesn't come off as you'd planned, despite your healthy routine. you know.
Just a tip for Jonah's head... our dr. recommended calendula oil. We would put it on Axton's head, leave it on for 30 minutes, then wash/gently scrub it off. Axton loved his nightly head washing and would even fall asleep in the middle of it all. It worked for us.
As for weight, I kind of agree with Melissa on the whole buy a new pair of pants thing. I have what I call my "transition jeans." They are a size bigger than my normal pants, but it's so much better than wearing maternity or totally bursting at the seams of my old jeans. I like to buy myself a new outfit that fits my body "right now" just to feel less frumpy. (The shopping part is a bit depressing, I know) Then I work toward getting into my old pants.
Just remember you have 3 amazing little men, a Tom, and a whole lot of other people who love you no matter what pants you wear.
yes, star agrees! we must be onto something. hahahaha i kill me.
I wish we'd be on to more things!! :)
