Apparently, you don't have a lot of extra time when you have a baby...

More so that I am lazy and don't post. I have been reading a lot of blogs recently and kind of wish I was more...I don't know...more entertaining, I guess. More informative. More bloggy, as it were. I have an idea of a post I would like to make, but it's just a matter of sitting down and doing it. The post of "what I used/what I didn't use" for Ryan. A baby stuff post. Although, since I formula fed, my post would differ greatly from, say, Kristine's, but she makes things work differently for her. Which is fine. Just using her as an example of someone who's "goods and bads" would probably be different from mine.

The main thing that I have been doing in the past almost three weeks since I posted: Working my butt off.

Work has been CRAZY! I am just finally starting to catch up on stuff. Hopefully, by the end of this week, I will have caught up all the way. Which would make me very happy. I hate looking stupid at work. And being behind always makes me look stupid. Lots of overtime though. Extra money is nice.

I got my new lappy, got a virus and completely hosed the whole thing in the past three weeks, causing us to have to restore to the factory settings. Which meant we would have lost three weeks of Ryan pictures, EXCEPT for the dumb luck factor. I saved all the pictures onto my Photobucket AND onto a flash drive to take to work. So, the only thing that we really lost was some of the video that we took of Ryan. And the good ones were posted to Facebook, so they aren't really lost. Good times all around. I have decided that one of those times that those fake websites came up that is "scanning" your computer, I clicked in the box, instead of just closing the whole browser. I did it before I could think. Oops. Stupid jerks.

Now, I run AVG.

Ryan has gotten SO big and more grown up in the past three weeks! It's amazing how fast they change. He's eating some solids. He enjoyed sweet potatoes, peas, winter squash, but not green beans. That or he doesn't like the taste of the Gerbger baby food. Near as I can tell, it's just the veggie and water, but he hasn't been as enthusiatic about it as he was with Earth's Best. Either way, I'm going to make my own, because they don't cover many veggies in the baby foods. Lots of fruits. I'm going to wait on the fruit until 6 months, I think. Learn to like the veggies first. Then, fruits.

He's also almost sitting up on his own now. We haven't made much progress in the crawling or rolling area, but that's okay.

And, finally, we have started to ignore him at night, in the hopes that he goes back to sleep. AND...for the past couple of nights, it has worked. I love it, because, even though I wake up, I don't have to get up. Soon, I will be sleeping all night again. At least until the next little peanut comes along.

I love sleep.
