Garage sale, sicky boys, but lots of sleep!

This weekend flew by. We had a garage sale this weekend which totally rocked. Well actually, Karen and Uriel had a garage sale and we piggy-backed in with our stuff. We spent all day Saturday at their house and made some pretty good money. Not just that but we cleaned out some of the junk we have laying around the house. Eric worked so hard (signs, schmoozing people, and carrying heave stuff) that he actually got sick that afternoon. As soon as the sale was over he started to shut down. He fell asleep for a little bit and then started to feel really bad. He had a small fever that evening but felt completely wiped out. We missed Niki’s graduation party since Eric and Jarem both weren’t doing so good. Sorry we missed it Niki!!

On Sunday Eric didn’t even leave the house he felt so miserable. I brought Jarem with me to the garage sale on Sunday and hung out. We didn’t really sell anything on Sunday so we shut down early and spent the rest of the day at the house. I felt so bad that Eric worked so hard and now feels so miserable. He’s a good hubby and an extremely hard worker!!

So as we talked about last week,

we started Jarem in his own room again in his crib to sleep at night. He is such an amazing baby!!! Friday night we put him to bed around 8:30pm. He didn’t wake up until 7:15am Saturday morning. He didn’t cry once or stir at all during the night. He is so good!! He did the same on Saturday evening and last night, too. He has this sleep thing down. We love it! Jarem started showing signs of a cold on Friday and was pretty sick looking on Saturday. But after getting so much sleep he seemed much better today. The Baileys are all enjoying getting so much sleep. Woo Hoo!!

In other Jarem news, he officially sucks his thumb. It’s the cutest thing! It’s how he falls asleep at night. It doesn’t last the entire night but it’s soothing enough to get him to fall asleep. It’s really cute to watch how he does it. He’s really getting the hang of it which is a little scary. But as we’ve mentioned before, we won’t worry too much unless he’s in school and sucking his thumb. It might not be as cute then.

He also LOVES his bath time. Eric gets him undressed and lets him stand on the bathroom counter and look at himself in the mirror. He loves being naked and really enjoys looking at himself. He smiles and kicks his feet. It’s so funny to watch him. Then in the bath Eric sings to him and he tried to sing back. He is really good at imitating the noises we make. When we make monkey noises he does. When we sing, so does he. We love him so much and love all his new and fun talents. He is definitely loved by his parents.

glad you made some extra cash at the garage sale! did any of my clothes work out for you? if not, i hope you were able to sell them! poor eric, hope he gets better SOON! garage sales are always funner with friends. poor jarem, he did look so sickly on friday! whats so funny are all the similarities between our babies... both had c-sections, both at the same hospital, by the same doctors office, both had to go back to work after 12 weeks, both babies slept through the night in their own cribs about 3-4 months old, and BOTH SUCK THEIR THUMBS! i know its not something you want them to do when they are older, but darnit, if it isnt the CUTEST thing a baby can do!?! love it.
have a great week!
