It seems to me that Ace changes every day right before my eyes! He is already 2 months old and I’m trying to get myself in the mindset that he won’t be a baby forever! I need to enjoy all I have with him right now, especially since I won’t be returning to work until mid September. I take so many pictures of him everyday and it seems like the little man he is in the morning grows so much throughout the day when I take a picture of his smile at night.
He is still sleeping in his bassinet next to our bed, and from what studies show, infants are less likely candidates for SIDS if they co-sleep until 6 months (plus I’m just not ready to let go and have him sleep in his room!). We’ve churched up his bassinet as much as we can to make it fun for him like his crib in his room is going to be. We bought him a kick piano, which he seems to love. I lay next to him and giggle with him when he figures out that sounds come out of the colorful thing if he moves his legs. It’s amazing and makes me heart melt! I’m so honored to be a part of this little man’s life as his mommy.
The Trewin’s are a busy family, here is what we’ve been up to since we last wrote.
Ace enjoyed his first Bronco game at the garage last Thursday. Sadly we lost, but my boy looked great in his gear thanks to Aunt Heather and Uncle Tot! He only has Bronco gear because daddy hasn’t gotten on top of getting him Chicago Bear’s stuff yet. We’ve been offered some baby Cowboy onsies, but no thanks Michelle, I’d burn them if they were here :) Ace and his cousin Ryde had quite the conversation in their seats as the game flew by. It was freaking adorable and makes me so happy that he will grow up so close to his cousin like I did with mine. We’re a lucky family!
Friday, Val and I took the boys to kickball. I used to play, but between blowing out my ACL and getting knocked up, I’ve become just a spectator. I miss it a lot, but am glad that we can still go hang out with our friends and watch. It was the first time a lot of my teammates got to meet Ace. We stayed for a few hours before heading home. The boys loved to lay in the park as mom and aunt Towel caught up with the outside world.
I’ve tried to get out without Ace so that it’s not too hard when I return to work... AHHHH who am I kidding? It’s going to be one of the hardest things I will have to go through!
Anyway, Saturday I joined a few of my friends downtown for the 10th Annual Crawl for Cancer. Our team consisted of 11 people and we ‘crawled’ to 5 bars for a few hours. It was nice to get out and have a little taste of what my life used to be like before a husband and baby. I’d never trade my life for the world, obviously, and I realized that the next morning. Boy, by being so honest in this blog, it’s making me sound like an alcoholic! EEK! Those of you who know me, know better :) Ace got to hang out with daddy all day while mommy was out. Matt said it was hard, but a lot of fun. It was nice for the boys to hang out because the past few weeks, we’ve had a lot of mommy and Ace time while dad works!
Sunday we had our first ‘Family Bed Day’ (Ace also happened to turn 2 months old)! Matt and I had decided that it had been too long since we just hung out at as a family for a whole day. It’s hard with the little brother patient still here to have time with just us. We dedicated last Sunday as the day. We snuggled up with each other in bed and watched movies, ordered Chinese food, napped, watch a replay of the Bear’s game, ordered pizza, laughed, smiled and kissed. Ace seemed to have enjoyed that as much as we did. No one mowed the lawn, did the dishes or folded laundry. It’s sometimes hard to get Matt to stop moving and just relax, but with his high blood pressure, it was easy to convince him it was for his health (minus the food choices)! It was a beautiful day.
All in all, this life is like a fantasy. I couldn’t ask for a more loving husband or a more beautiful baby boy.
