This little dude is actually 2.5 months old as I'm typing this so I hope to remember what he was like as he turned one month!
Well he is growing. He was back at birth weight at his 1 week appt. Whew. I weigh him often thanks to that scare with Shaddy.
Sleep: He loves to lay on the couch - supervised and on his belly for naps - although his spit up is doing a number on my favorite spots so it didn't last long. He sleeps four hour chunks and in our room which is kind of a nursery as Z is still in the crib. He is burrito wrapped and loves the bassinet we borrowed from friends, which i finally figured out how to keep it from rocking.
Thankfully daddy is a great sleeper and doesn't mind rocking if I need his help in the night. Feeding well he isn't quite as equipped for that!
Eating: He is a quick eater. Bout 10 -15 minutes. He is a real big burper. And also quite spitty. I carry and shout for a burp rag quite often. He nurses every three typically.
He loves to be carried or on his belly. Other than that he really isn't too big of a fan of the swing, bouncy or the mama roo. He loves my wrap and I carry him a good chunk of the day!
Our lives have changed drastically once again but it is worth every second of the chaos and stares (yes, people stare a lot) Some days I question what we were thinking. Why have another baby? Another child to clothe, feed, love, pour energy into, drive around, race to activities for - but I am reminded that they are a gift from the Lord. And each one is an arrow. One of my quiver full. That I am responsible for grooming and shaping with the help of the Lord to ultimately be used fully by Him for His glory! Wow! That is worth every stare, comment or moment of pure craziness in the world!
