This sweet boy was 3 weeks old last Wednesday, and in a few days, he turns a whole month old! Where has the time gone?
Actually, I can tell you where some of the time has gone...it has been spent holding this spoiled rotten youngin'! He will NOT let us put him down! It has actually gotten a little better this week as he will sit for just a little bit in the bouncy seat...not long enough, you know, for me to take a long shower or eat a whole meal, but such is life. I know this won't last much longer. ;) The problem got to be night time, though, since he'd only sleep with one of us holding him. I finally got desperate enough and went out and bought a real snuggly swing (remember our swing from the boys broke) for him to sleep in at night, and it worked!! He won't sleep in it during the day, but we'll take what we can get. ;)
Anderson is super sweet. He only cries when he wants to be held, and he just kinda squirms to let you know he's hungry. Speaking of hungry, this kid can EAT! I knew this was going to be the case in the hospital and had to start supplementing him right away. I told the doctor that I feel silly supplementing him since he's so big already, but like the doc said, "He's a big boy...he's gotta eat!"
As far as sleep goes, this child is not going to miss a feed- he eats every 2-3 hours at night but has had random spurts of going 4 hours or so in between. At least he's pretty easy to get back to sleep after eating, however, those 2 and 3 hour deals at night are EXHAUSTING!
What else? He is about to move out of size 1 diapers and is already out of most of his 0-3 month clothes. I have no idea how much he weighs, but judging by the change in sizes, I'd say it was a lot for a 3 week old. I've actually caught myself calling him "chubbs" lately, which I need to stop because that is a terrible nickname! Ha!
