6 weeks

Playing in the jungle

*I give up on weekly pictures- who has time for this?! I swear I have been attempting to get things done all week and I can never finish them. Also if you haven't received a thank you card for me I apologize I've have completely lost track of who we have written and who we haven't. And if I haven't returned your calls it's because I've lost my mind :)

6 Weeks~ Aw 6 weeks already?! I might post that every week. This was a great week- we started the reflux meds and he started eating every three hours awesome! He is smiling more and more all the time and just being awake more during the day is great. I made the mistake of introducing diary back in his diet like the doctor told me too.. we are paying for it today. So maybe diary is the culprit. Very frustrating. 

Weight:  9.7+ pounds

Sleep: Sleeping all night in the rock n play. He’s still getting up every 3-4 hours.

Clothes: Goodbye Preemie! Newborn onesies are getting snug!

Visitors:  Jackson went to his first birthday party so he met lots of new people then. He did great and slept through the whole thing.

Out and About: The usual- Daddy’s office, Target, lunch with mimi and some errands. We went to a birthday party and got pumpkins with no problems. Whew! We still are only taking him out for max 3 hours at a time.

Pumpkin Time!

This one is small like me!

Baby Gear Love:  
Nothing new this week but def. using all the previous items listed.

Crying:  Crying if he’s hungry, doing tummy time, or if he needs a change in positions. He also will scream at you if you happen to bump him when he’s hanging out in the K’Tan..this is really awesome because his face is right near my ear. But his little (loud) cries are so pathetic and cute I don’t mind them. I feel like I’m getting the hang of things or the “touch” to calm him down now. 

Milestones:  
Kinda started cooing a bit or a least making new sounds that aren’t grunts. Tracking objects. Sorta swatting at toys but really unintentional. He does look at them when he’s swatting. 

Postpartum: I might have lost 1 pound this week. I have officially retired 95% of maternity clothes because they are just huge! I still keep some small maternity pants to wear- I have squeezed into my old jeans but they were too uncomfortable. I go for my 6 week PP visit this week. I am very ready for my old body!! 

Goals:
We somehow managed a eating schedule (which wasn’t was I was working on but hey whatever) every three hours. LOVE this! It’s easy to predict when he needs to eat and how to plan our day. We still haven’t managed a nap/play routine so I gota keep working on that this week. Bath time routine didn’t really happen this week...I know I know oops. 

This week- keep working on the nap/play schedule, possible bedtime routine, more tummy time, and hopefully a nap in the big boy crib.
