1st Halloween!

My first: The madness over my first halloween (actually first Holiday too) started 2 weeks ago. I went for my 3 mnths// Halloween pics. At the time I was just going to wear my "First halloween" sleeper//bib and a pumpkin zip up I have. The pics turned out very cute! But then Nana decided I needed a first costume, and bought me one to look like a giraffe. So then Momma and Nana both decided I need pics taken in that, so I went through another round of photos. Trust me, one time a month is plenty... so next time, least try not to add another phot shoot! Last weekend I went with the family to a haunted trail. I dont know why everyone was screaming so loud, I found it very boring and slept through the entire thing. I did start screaming when momma took me out of my carrier to be put in a car seat, didnt they get the hint I wanted to sleep? So if this wasnt enough, Halloween night we went out again. I "Trunk or treated" Ok, well, I slept and Uncle Cody and Aunt Cassie did. Then we went on a haunted hay ride. This is a pic of me and 2 of my favorite people before getting on the tractor....

Here I am as the giraffe. Ok, so maybe I dont make the happiest giraffe, But it is my bed time, you know!

I refuse to gove momma a good pic... she has put me through enough this halloween, lol.

But once the tractor got going, momma made sure I was comfy and this is truely how I spent most the night.... Good thing momma has a good baby!!

And on another note, I just thought you would like to see an updated cuteness of me... without the costume! Here I am!! I think I am teething... cause everything sure does taste yummy! Specially my buddies, I love chewing them!!

I can say I have no complaint so far these 3 1/2 months... well... momma could hurry the bottle up faster, or entertain me when I demand it... But she says I am not the boss of her... But we both know better than that!!

Its Oct.... and getting coooold!

I know I promised new update pics, but it seems my computer has decided other wise!! So I snuck over to my mommas, jumped on her computer... and uploading some quick sneak peak. We had Skys Halloween (3 month) pics done the other day in a cute Babys first halloween outfit, and a pumpkin sweatshirt... But Nana being Nana couldnt resist to buy him his first costume. So here it is! Though we live out in the country, we have a few Halloween plan... so this is going to be baby boos wear!! Cant wait to get pics of him out and about... and once my computer decides to live again, I promise to update the pics from what we are missing!!

Wow- I suck at this!!

I am soooo sorry that I am a blog slacker! But alot has been going on... well... kinda... Jon was switched to a 3 week rotation, so I get a lot of alone time with Sky, my baby boo.... and his is growing so fast. Can you believe today he is 13 weeks? He is soooo chunky, and whenever someone new sees him and hears his age, all reactions are the same.. "Wow, he is a big boy... not just chunky, but soo long" LoL. Its ok, I love his rolls!! So alot has changed since last time I posted, so here is a QUICK update, and then tomorrow I will try and load some pics.

He now loves his play mat- and boxes at toys
Smiles ALL the time.... but takes alittle longer for strangers to get it out of him
He is now wearing 3-6 onesies... and 6-9 sleepers. Yes, my baby boo is one loooong kiddo!
He "aboos" and "goos" all the time
He loves tummy time if you keep him busy....
He is almost to the point of rolling over
Screams bloody murder anytime you stop at a redlight/stop sign
Loves playing with his buddies
A big people watcher. If your anywhere people are he wants to be able to look around
Loves to snuggle...
Sleeps through the night... yes thats right goes to bed around 8-9 and wakes around 7 am....
Got his Halloween pics done... but threw up all over his outfit, poor kid!
Pretty sure he is starting to teeth.... cause he is drooling and chewing on everything!!
Losing a bunch of hair, but still has a thick mulit in the back, lol
Still has my blue eyes (yay!!)
Likes watching football with daddy... dunno why... guess its the contin. movement?
Thinks he is a comedian (Already living up to his Davis name like his Uncle Mark)
Can keep himself busy for 30-40 minutes.
Puts himself to sleep at night
Loves to look at books and be read too...
Thinks he is a big boy so hates being held like a baby
Loves his pacifer...
and... is a big mommas boy!!

Wow- how do they grow up so fast with out us realizing it? I promise, I am off til next Monday (but I do work 5 weeks next week, urgh!) So I will get videos//pictures up soon!! Sorry!!

Say Cheeze!!

Sky has been giving us random smiles since he was born. However on 9-8-09 he started smiling all the time when you talked to him. It was like this lil personality blossomed out of it over night! It was bittersweet to see though. Its so much fun having him interact with me, but it also means he is getting older! And of all days he decided to do it on a day Nana was watching him while momma went to work =( Only work 2 days out of the week, and I still missed it! But he has given lots of smiles since to make up for it. He will even smile when I am on the phone cause he thinks I am talking to him. However... even with all these smiles when I pull a camera out he will give me what we have come to call his "Frick Look" its the same face his daddy gives me often! BUT today I was FINALLY able to get him to smile for the camera! I am so excited! He has the most beautiful smile!!

This is what we call the "Frick Look" they are both doing it, lol

And finally a beautiful smile! Yes my baby has "Baby man boobs" LoL. Last week at his 2 month check up he weighed 13.5 LBS and 23'. He got his first round of shots... did good with them, did not cry as long after as I would have thought. But he did get sick and threw up for a couples days. He has a head cold (Sneezing, coughing, running nose) so it was probably a mix of both shots and not feeling well. Other wise, he is doing great!

Family

I have a bunch more, but just wanted to share my lil family!!

Getting big!

Nothing really to update, just thought I would share soem pics!
Here is Sky @ 5 weeks.... He is getting so chunky!

Our 6 week old baby boy!! And his lil arm rolls, lol.

And as of right now he still has baby blue eyes.... I get to claim those =)))

And a bath pic for you to compare to the last.... oh how chunky my lil man is getting!!

We had our family pic done yesterday... they turned out good! I am excited. We also were able to pick Skys newborn (16 day old pics) up. He dont even look like the same baby!! I will post some when I have more time... oh.. where does time go.... =((

A Great- Great Person

So we walked up the hill the other day to visit Skys Great-great grandma (Nanny) and his great grandma (Memaw)... as soon as we walked in Nanny wanted to "hold the baby" SO I was finally able to get their first pics together. Whenever she hold him, Sky is just memorized by her.. its really sweet! Memaw did not want any pics because she was not "dressed for pics" so I still have to work on getting those!!
Loretta Artie && Skyler Davis Artie

Our trip to Houston....

Jonathans job sent him to Houston TX for the week... the weather staid pretty sucky... so we spent a lot of time in doors... Plus Sky has started having some bad spitting spells. However, given that we had a 5 week old baby and making a 11 hour drive.. he did wonderful. He even adjusted to being in a hotel room good! We were able to go see Jonathans rig and learn more about what he does when he is away from home.,. Not the most exciting vacation... but I enjoyed learning more about it.... =))
Being a good boy on the 11 hour ride... it only took us 12 hours with all the stopping we had to do... but once we got to the Hotel.. he was out!!

5 weeks!

Skys first palm trees! I personally love palm trees! They remind me of home... so I was excited to get this pic... lol

Sky was able to see his first beach (for as much as he would stay up anyway) Galvesting TX. Though I am a Floridian at heart and would rather have taken him home... it was still nice to experience it with him, as much as you can a 5 week old, lol. Next time we will go to Florida where he can play in the sand!!

Due to hurricane season the rig is brought into the ship yard for maintence work. Since we were in Houston so that Jonathan could do schooling for the company, we were able to see the actual rig he works on. It was actually pretty neat because usually the rig is out in the Gulf 100 miles off the coast and other wise we would never see it in oerson..... This is where Jonathan lives ever 3 weeks when he goes out to work.... I dont envy him at all!! (Thats the rig in the backgroud)

Learning about Daddys job... what he does//how he lives when he is away at work for soo long

Taking the ferry to crystal beach... so we can head home.... a looong 12 hour ride.

In Houston

On Monday we left to come down to Houston TX.... Jonathans job offered a school that he was able to attend down in Houston, so off all 3 of us came. It is a 11 hour drive... but with Sky I imagined it to be much, much longer. However, we did make it in 12 hours, almost to the minute, so I am not complaining!! Sky did better than I ever expected him too. He would wake on his own for his ever 2 1/2 hour feeding, like he does at home. We would stop, feed//change and put him right back in the car seat. He would then stay awake on his own anywhere from 30-60+ minutes. (At home I would have to fight to keep him up!!) Then he would either cry for just a minute or simply go to sleep to repeat the cycle!! I did get thrown up on//3 messy diapers and 1 pee mess... but other than that he was smooth. The Gripe water really seemed to help with him when he would start to fuss over gas. He also did good with his sleeping arrangments, he is usually in a bassinet but we only brought the pack n play which has a flat surface to sleep, and he did his new routine... first time down 3 hours, then back to the 2 hour cycle. But I cant complain! Well, I dont have any pics right now to share, but when we get home, I will put some up. Jonathan will be home for a nother week after this, and then he starts his 3 weeks rotation, which I am not looking forward too... but hopefully it will go fast

Almost forgot!! 3 weeks old...

Forgot this pic in the last update! He is 3 weeks (and some days) Getting big but stil OH SO SWEET!!

Random Update

Skyler went to the Dr about his constipatin probs. First thing to try is adding apple juice to 2 bottles of milk daily and see if that helps.... last night it did =) However- his pedi thinks that he might be showing sign of being colicy... which means a long road ahead of me when Jonathan is working... good news is... they do tend to grow out of it around 3 months. He is gaining weight like crazy... He is now 9.5! Almost out of newborn diapers.... and that is heart breaking to me... why cant they stay tiny for just a little longer!! He is starting to have more awake time, and I love it! He is bright eyes, and beautiful..... here are some pics....

We did get to spend some time with his Aunts yesterday and of course there was alot of picture taken. (Nana and the twins were there too... but they were not as into getting their picture taken...) I think given the choice Sky would have sat out too, lol. Tomorrow we are going to get the 5 generation picture taken! How exciting...

Moms- I need advice =(

For the past week Sky has been SUPER fussy with constipation issues.... Its only getting worse!! His pedi said to add some Karo syrup to the formula 3 times daily, been doing that, but he is still not him self... anyone else had this problem with a little one? He just passed 3 weeks... so anything you can suggest thats safe for him... I am would gladely take.... My 2 hour nap windows at night have turned into 30 minutes or less, depending on when his tummy starts to cramp.....


Oh how I took sleep for granted.

Scruba-dub-dub.....

So bath time with Skyler has been..... stressful... in his baby bath tub ecerytime you put him in he would scream to the top of his lungs, which would then make my anxiety double, lol.... so I was telling my mom about this.... and she found the perfect solutin!! This awsome bath chair....

My bath tub is big enough to set this chair in AND I can get in too and soak (which I have not been doing, and my stitches are healing sooo slowwww...) He did not cry ONE time... he loved it!! And I can soak with out him screaming like he does when I am in the shower (thank goodness for growing my hair out so i could have a mom pony tail, lol)

And he even waited patiently for my to get his bedtime stuff together to dress/feed/rock him to sleep. How sweet!!

THANKS NANA!!!! It was an awsome idea!!!

Tummy Troubles

Loveable face!

My poor boy has been haveing bad BAD tummy problems lately... every night between 7-9 he goes through a BAD crying spell... so lately we have been doing some tummy time to get a back rub and it has calmed him down lots.... I just love the little booty sticking up!!

Missin' Daddy!

We just wanted daddy to know that we love him and miss him! One week til he comes home!!

Belly Button Update!

My bright eyed baby boy. He is usually up early morning and late evening for a visit with the family. For 17 days old, he is alert and sweet. I love getting his sugar!!

But most if the time, he snoozes, but thats ok... cause its still sweet sugar! We went to MS so he could meet his Poppy. We also got his newborn pics done, they turned out good. When we get them in, I will post some.

BUT finally his belly button cord stump FINALLY came off. It looks good!

Here he is modeling his new belly...

Fricks "Shower in a box" suprise!

Today we got home to find a package on the porch from Jonathans Dad and family in MN!! They sent Skyler a "Shower in the box" since they live so far away. Here is Skyler with his box of goodies... he looks super interested! LoL- He got a bunch of nice thing. Thank you everyone!!

Heres my sweet boy. He is starting to stay awake more!!

LoL

My heart!! I love this kid!!

I am so inlove!

Skyler is doing good- after the spell of jaundice he is doing good. He has a pretty coloring again! And is a very easy going lil guy!!

He turned 2 weeks today, and I have no idea where the time goes!! He is back to his birth weight 8lbs even!

His daddy is starting him early as a Bama fan. He has a onesie(its to big right now) Bib- Hat- Booties- PAcifer and rattle. LoL

And I just love this pic... sporting his mini hawk! I love that he has so much hair!! It makes all the heart burn worth it!!

I never imagined that I would fall in love with this lil guy as much as I have. I am so in love with being a mommy. It still seems unreal most the time. I miss the belly of being pregnant- even though I complained all the time at the end- Labor && delivery was not that bad- even though I am still pretty messed up from the delivery.... and the sleepless nights... who cares when I get to cuddle with Skyler. I just hope the next weeks I am home do not go as fast as these 2 have!!

Finally home!

I know we just really want pics- so Ill post them and then update later!!
