Pals

Chasen has now found his hands and loves to suck on them he has also figured out what his hands are for and uses them all the time....this means the dogs and cats are no longer safe!!!

3 month birthday!


Today is Chasen's 3 month birthday!!
wow has it flown by, the months have flown by....some of the nights drag on :)
But they say the colic fades at 3 months and last night he came home slept for 2 hours woke up ate played fell asleep watching tv with dad for about 20min ate again and went to bed happy as a clam:) only woke up once at 3:30 then we got him up at 7:30 this morning! so maybe 3 months is the magic # we will see tonight.

This weekend was the baby shower in nebraska thrown by my wonderful sis who came up with some good games...I liked the one where they had to draw a pic of a baby on a paper plate on top of their head!

We had margaritas and bread sticks from olive garden...yummy!
Chasen got some really cool stuff including some super cute outfits, Noah's ark coat rack that i really wanted and foot stool, a onesie that says "my brother has four paws" and several other things!



well i started this post an hour or so ago and now its 7:45 and Chasen is being good!! no constant screaming!!!
Just constant playing :)

Colic what you wanna Colic

Im-a-gonna become an alcoholic----- if Chasen doesn't stop crying from 6pm to 9pm
I'm just kidding i wont become and alcoholic but it does make me crazy.
The weekends are good he plays so well during the day and smiles at me but come evening he is fussy gussy.
I try everything swing, bouncy seat, play gym, gripe water, gas drops, colic formula, he is quiet when he is eating....sometimes.
Then come 9pm or 10pm he eats again and goes to bed sometimes he cries himself to sleep.
Its super frustrating, he will be 3 months next week, I though this was supposed to end at 3 months??!?!

In other news when I got home tonight there was a hint of sun light left...meaning spring is soon to come:)
So since all i do is work and come home to a screaming child i decided it was time to do something for me and its something Ive always wanted to do, I'm going to start running again!!
This year is all 1/2 marathons then next year, maybe it will take some planning but I would like to run a marathon in Hawaii!!
and its not just something I like to do but its something Ean enjoys as well so it can be just me time or us time, the us part might be kinda hard considering Ean is just slightly faster then I am ;)
but it will defiantly give us something to talk about and look forward to especially if we go to Hawaii :)
The first race is the Lincoln half marathon on may 3rd so my training will start feb 15th.
I'm really nervous and I hope my knees hold out
So I'm also going to start using this blog to track how much I run in hopes of keeping me motivated, Im sure its gonna be hard for me to find time for 8-10 mile runs but I hope I can do it :)

MONDAY MADNESS

This used to have a whole different meaning.
In college we used to have what was called Monday madness, someone different would host it each Monday and we would get together after home work and drink! The bars even started have a Monday night specials, we made T-shirts and everything....
ahhh so much fun
now Monday madness is a different type of madness.
The kind you dont really enjoy.
I need a new Monday madness shirt with this picture on it

(yes i know today is not monday) but my life feels like pure madness,
work, pick up kid, take care of screaming kid (he likes to cry allot) make bottles, pump, do dishes, cook.....i could go on and on...
then repeat.
I know I know its parenthood and you all do it too, just felt the need to complain about my own MAdNesS.

in other news we are going to Nebraska on Friday through Monday for Chasen's baby shower!! complete with margaritas....now that will be good madness!! :)

time for bed.
