One Handed Blog

Quite a bit has happened in the last two weeks. To summarize: we've been looking for a new place to live, we found a great place and the guy told us it was ours then wouldn't take my calls for two days, when I did get a hold of him he told me he gave the condo to someone else (and the reason he hadn't called was because he left his phone at Starbucks...yeah right!!). So we started looking for another new place, found an even better place and signed a lease. Meanwhile, Kandi came out from Vegas to help me with Frankie so I could pack for the move. Thank goodness for her help and on top of it all, she's coming back out after Thanksgiving so she can help when we move! I can't express how much I appreciate what she's done and going to do to help us out!

Frankie is doing great! He's started giving little smiles and he makes you work for those smiles!! He's also up to eleven pounds, he's getting ChUnKy. I love it! He's got four chins, this kid. I'm trying to get a good picture of them all so I can post it. It seems to be one of those things that you have to see in person. Frankie still wants to be held all the time and it does get frustrating. I've left him alone to cry and he always cries for around 20 minutes before he'll fall asleep and he wakes up screaming within 20 minutes when he realizes he still alone. I keep telling myself to be patient (you can all stop laughing now) and I think that I'm handling it better each day. The one real good thing is he's been sleeping for six hour stretches the last three nights and last night he slept those six hours in the bassinet. It was so nice to have so much more room in the bed again. I really hope this continues!!

He's getting so big! He's darling. Do you swaddle him when he's sleeping? Bella still needs to be swaddled to sleep, she sleeps so well that way.
