Today Rhys is almost three months old...or he could be almost 2 months old since he was born 5 weeks early. I am not sure what to go by. But he has found his hands recently and has been sucking on it as best he can these days. He has trouble sometimes getting his fist to his mouth and you will find him with his fist hitting his cute chubby cheeks. Rhys has also started smiling more at us and at random objects around the house...namely our ceiling fan. He LOVES the ceiling fan. I put him down on the bed and spin the fan with my hand and he will stare at it in amazement!!

Brian and I have definitely gotten the hang of taking care of Rhys. We manage to go on outtings on the weekends and feel pretty accomplished when we don't have a meltdown. Last week, we even ventured out to 30th on 30th and met up with the gang to have some cheap food! We only ended up eating a WAY too limey ceviche and two small macaroni and cheeses, but it was still an adventure and we had fun. Yesterday, we went to Pearl to get some dimsum. He slept pretty much right through our meal. I feel so blessed these days to have Rhys in my life. Watching him grow every day makes me so happy! Thank you God for everything you have given to us.

Currently Rhys is riding on my back as I type this out. This is the only way I can let myself have some lunch and go on the computer (computer is on my mantle so I can be on it while I stand). But I don't care, these very few short moments during the day are like little bits of heaven for me. I can be me again! My plans for this week are to go to Macy's to return an item and possibly do some shopping if the baby permits me.

I ordered a baby carrier from HOSAUSA yesterday. It is called a Chunei. It is basically the same as what I am wearing right now, but I got one in a Dark Jean look. This one works fine, but is pretty ugly and don't really wanna wear this out in public. I am also planning on making a trip to LA to be with my family on Dec 8th. I will be home for about a week so my mom will be very happy. She tells me that whenever she misses him, she closes her eyes and pictures his cute little face. I will be grateful for the help that my mom will be for me...plus I can do some needed bonding with my family.

It's about time for Rhys to wake up so I will end this blog here...Til next time!!!
