Jagger has 2 teeth now. He got his second one, that I felt, on Sunday. Those little things are sharp! I am afraid of what he is going to do to me with them.
It is night 2 of sleep training. I finally finished the book that I started 2 months ago and we started last night with out plan. He is now sleeping in his crib. There are several different phases to follow to help him sleep longer and put himself back to sleep. For phase one, I am not rocking him for as long and putting him in his crib asleep, but not in a deep sleep. Last night I got up every hour, except once and he slept for a 2 hour stretch. At 3 am he apparently wanted to get up because I rocked for an hour and he would not go back to sleep, so I brought him to bed with us. Aaron said he was trying to play with him by touching his face and grab his arm, so he tried to cuddle him and get him to sleep. Jagger wanted NO part of it and screamed. We just ignored him and he went to sleep on his own. He was up for the day around 7:30. I got him to take a 2 hour nap, with only rocking him back to sleep once. This afternoon, not so good! He feel asleep while we were grocery shopping and then slept on the way home. I tried to get him to go back to sleep when we got home, but he wanted no part of it! He went to bed at 6:30 tonight. Hopefully we will make some progress in the next ten days. I am hoping that he will be sleeping 8 plus hours within a month and taking 2, 2 hour naps.

Houston, we have....
a tooth! You can't see the tooth yet, but I can feel it. It is the bottom, right one. The teething tablets still seem to be working good.
Someone spoiled Jagger, rotten! I am not sure who that may have been, I have been accused of it, but I beg to differ :) We have to be in his sight at all times and he likes for me to be sitting in the floor with him while he is playing or for me to be playing with him. Emma and Abby sometimes take over those duties and entertain him! The way I see it, he is the only one I will have, so I might as well spoil him rotten! Although, I would like to get some things done around the house. He doesn't take very long naps, so I don't really have that time to get things done. Oh well, they will wait on me! We tried carrots yesterday and he is like his mama, they are nasty! I have some pictures, but they do not really show what he thought of them! I tasted them and about gagged myself, so I don't blame him! I will try them again today, but I will not force them on him. He LOVES his avocado though. I can't feed it to him fast enough! I also fed him rice cereal and bananas for dinner and he likes those, but avocado seems to be the favorite right now! I think I am going to try and get Jagger back in his own bed this weekend, except I am going to put him in his pack-n-play next to our bed. It seems that he likes to have alot of room to move around at night, and we don't have alot of extra space in our bed. I know I wouldn't sleep worth a crap if I put him in his own room, because my anxiety level is back up. We will see how it goes! I am also trying to get him off of the paci. It seems to be a real problem with the length of sleep he is getting. He is going to be a handful when he gets on the move. He has to touch and explore everything! Watch out wieners!

Nice relaxing weekend
It was so nice to get away this weekend. We didn't feel like we had to do anything around the house, we could just do whatever we wanted. We didn't do alot in Chicago, but that was perfectly fine with us. We went to the zoo on Saturday when we got there and then went to our hotel, which had an amaing view of Lake Michigan. We walked around and then had dinner. We were going to go to the Navy Pier for the fireworks, but we were all tired, so we decided to call it a night! Jagger slept SO good! On Sunday, we had breakfast when we got up at a place called Yolk, so very delicious! Jagger even had breakfast there, some banana! Then we headed to IKEA. I love this store! We bought Jagger quite a few toys for when he gets bigger and a few for now. We also got some other things for the house. So, it was a nice weekend. Jagger also decided, while we were in Chicago walking, that he would let everyone know he was there and that they should look at him! He was using his "outside" voice and everyone was looking at him smiling or laughing! Everywhere we went people would always say how cute he was, or how adorable he is! Aaron says we should audition him for baby commercials or modeling. Someone my mom works with said the same thing. I know he is cute, he is my baby, but when strangers tell you your baby is cute, he must really be cute!
Have a teething baby? Go buy Hyland's teething tablets NOW!! Those things are freaking awesome! Jagger was back to happy baby by Friday afternoon after I started giving them to him. Seriously, they are awesome!

Weight
Guess how much my chunky monkey gained in just 2 days.....7 ozs!! He is now up to 15 lbs. 1 oz. with a diaper on. Aaron and I knew he sure was getting heavy and he is looking chunky to me, so I have been weighing him a little more often and I was shocked at what the scale said today! I also measured his length yesterday and he was 28 inches long. It was on a blanket that we have, so I am not sure how accurate it is, but I am sure it is pretty close.
MISSING
5 1/2 month old, dark hair, dark eyes, super cute, smiley, laughing, happy baby. He goes by the name of Jagger, some call him Jagger man. If you find him, please return him to his mommy.
Can I just say, teething SUCKS. I miss my happy baby. I don't know how to deal with a fussy baby that wants to be held 24/7 and sleeps for maybe 45 min. at a time, even at night. I feel bad for the poor little guy, but man this is exhausting. I have been giving him tylenol around the clock and it still is not working. I am going to pick up some teething tablets today that are supposed to work wonders, please let them!
On another note, he likes bananas! I gave them to him yesterday for lunch and he ate them up! Homemade bananas turn brown and look really gross, but who cares if Jagger doesn't care!
We are headed to Chicago in the morning. We are planning to go to the zoo first and then go check into the hotel and decide from there what to do. Sunday we will stay in the city until around lunch time and then head to IKEA on the way back home. I can't wait!
