Routine

So Silas and I have a great routine going on my days off - we get up, head to the gym for a couple hours, come home and let Silas nap for a couple hours (in this picture, Silas had fallen asleep on the way home from the gym) and then have the afternoons to do whatever we please. He loves getting out of the house and going to Daddy's work to flirt and play. He is such a social butterfly and really enjoys standing at the front desk at Aspen to greet everyone that comes in and wave goodbye to people leaving. Our little routine makes me wish I could be a stay-at-home Mommy, but I know deep down that I don't have the patience or creativity to stay home every day all day. So for now, I'm just savoring my days off with my sweet boy!

Silas tried spaghetti for the first time this week and LOVED it! We kept it pretty clean and he made some funny faces with the flash, but I did manage to get a couple decent pictures of his spaghetti face.


He also tried pancakes for the fist time this week and loved those too! It's so fun to be able to give him "real" food now and watch him try different tastes and textures. Here he is after his breakfast one Saturday morning - kicked back and relaxed watching the Doodle Bops while I did the dishes. :) I love this picture...and he loves those soft pillows! *Please note, Silas watches MAYBE one 30 minute show per week...we do not make this a habit. :)


So here are some funny pictures of Silas getting ready for his bath. Jake and I cannot look at these pictures without laughing. He has dimples on his little butt and the back of his thighs and such a big belly!! This is the only time in life when cellulite and a gigantic belly are cute....and boy, are they CUTE!! :) He was having a blast watching the water fill up in the tub and started hollering and screaming with excitement! We also gave him some wild hair during his bath (those blue things in his ears are earplugs)!




I took Silas to an ENT on Monday to discuss tubes. He does in fact need tubes, which will be places March 2nd. His has mild-moderate hearing loss due to all the fluid in his ears which will be resolved when he gets tubes - Jake thinks that's why he yells so loud sometimes. :) I think it's just because he's all boy! Anyway, he has a "raging" ear infection to his left ear right now so he's back on antibiotics to take it down a notch because his ear drum was close to popping. I'm actually excited for him to get them done so he can hear better, feel better and hopefully be pain free. So he'll be sporting those blue earplugs while the tubes are in place, which he doesn't seem to mind too much.
