It was Jamison's first Thanksgiving and it was a great time. We went over to Roxanne and Steve's house for Thanksgiving. We had Turkey with all the fixin's.

Last week was also Jamison's first day at daycare! He did really well and Sue said that he was smiling and watching all the other kids. He only went for two days so it was a good week to transition him into daycare. The first day I didn't cry when I dropped him off, but it was really hard. I miss the little guy when I am working.

There are some new things that Jamison has been doing lately. He is really good at keeping his head up. He is starting to put his hands together. He is starting to "walk" when we stand him up. He is starting to hold onto objects and bring them to his mouth. It is so much fun to watch him grow and see all the new things he can do. Due to going back to work I may not write weekly on the blog but I will try to keep writing every other week.

First Day Back at Work and Jamison is 13 weeks old!

Today was my first day back to work and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It definitely helped that Andy is staying home this week so I don't have to drop him off at daycare because if I would have had to drop him off I think that I would have cried. Actually I was pretty excited to come back to work. I like my job and the people that I work with. We were super busy today so I pretty much just had time to work and take a few breaks to pump and eat. Before I knew it the day was done and it was time to come home to Andy and Jamison.

Last week we had Jamison's 3 month pictures taken at Harold's. Here is the website to go to http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/store.aspx?p=27762. Find Andy Gould and the password is Gould. We took a few of the fam and some of just Jamison. Well I am getting pretty tired but I just wanted to do a quick post.

In this video Jamison is holding a rattle. He has been starting to do a lot of new things like suck his thumb, and he is starting to roll over on the couch! He is doing so much.

I am a little sad that I go back to work next week but I know I need to do it sometime. Andy might take off next week so it is easier for me to go back to work and I don't have to worry about him being in daycare. It will be good to have a trial period so we know if I am pumping enough breastmilk at work before he goes to daycare.

I also took him to the weigh clinic at St lukes and he weighed 10lbs 110z so he is gaining weight still. Steve and Roxanne have an old scale that I am going to start using so I don't need to go to the weigh clinic. Well I will post another entry next week about how going back to work goes!

11 weeks!

I took Jamison to the weigh clinic yesterday and he weighed 10lbs and 8 oz...that means he gained 6 oz from last week. That is great to hear because that is exactly what he should be gaining! The reason why he didn't gain any weight last week was because he grew an inch. He is now 23 inches long. This such a relief to know that he is growing normally.

As all of you know last weekend was Halloween. Roxanne's birthday is also on halloween so we had a halloween party. Andy made wings, spinach salad, sausage pumpkin pasta and pesto pasta. It was amazing! He is such a great cook! I made apples and caramel fondue for dessert. Everyone dressed up and it was a great time. Jamison was a little hot dog and I will post his pic on the blog.
