Three Weeks Old
I cannot believe three weeks have already passed! Here is what we have been up to!
My husband went back to work this week. Sad. A is still asking if Daddy gets to stay home each day. As you may have read in one of my previous posts the night before my husband went back to work, J did not sleep hardly at ALL, and A refused to take a nap the next day. However, since then J has slept better and is actually going about three hours at night now. I’m still struggling to get A to nap well, I don’t think three year olds drop naps at this age, do they?
J is taking about four ounces of formula per feeding now and is going between 2 and 1/2 and 3 hours between eating. He takes a pretty solid nap around mid day (by solid, I mean a good hour/hour and a half) and then sleeps pretty well (besides waking up to eat) from 8:30 p.m. to around 3:00 a.m…..sometime after 3 something happens. He gets fussy, wants to be held, so on and so forth. Otherwise he catnaps through the day and is awake off and on.
My new favorite app for my Ipod is called “white noise baby”. J has had a couple of fussy periods throughout the last few days and this has been a life saver. I can set it beside the bouncer or outside the pack n play, and he will calm down quickly. For anyone who remembers how many hours and days I spent sitting holding A while I ran the hair dryer, this app is a really nice change.
J’s eyes are still steel gray, which is the color mine were when I was a baby, so I’m thinking he might end up with brown eyes.
All the boys (my son and my nephews) are still infatuated with J, which I think is so funny. Today A and his cousin had a discussion about who J loves more, HA! Sweet boys!
And lastly I had to include a picture of how J sleeps. This is a perfect example of him, stretched out, arms near his head, no desire to be swaddled what so ever.
