| So patient for mom's photo shoots |
It's Sunday, Jan 23rd. Today at 10:56pm, Wally turns 3 weeks old! It's amazing how much he has changed in the past 3 weeks. For a few days now, he's been pretty fussy. I'm atributing this to a "3-week growth spurt" he's going through that I read about on some official looking pediatric website. Up to this point, Wally has been a very happy, mostly sleepy, baby. But the past few days he's been awake more often, and he has tended to be fussy when awake. Our friend Megan was over yesterday laughing as Brian was walking laps around the upstairs trying to lull him to sleep. Last night as I picked him up out of his bassinnet for a 4:00am feeding, he felt like a little sack of potatoes....that's the growth spurt. He's suddenly got this super-cute double chin. His legs and arms are looking ever more chubby. The newborn diapers that we synched up for the first two weeks are now almost tight on him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's weighing in at 12+lbs when I get him weighed on Tuesday. I'm considering all this a gold-star accomplishment of breastfeeding. The sore boobs are worth it!
This weeks milestones: - he's holding his head up more often during tummy time - he's starting to kick his legs and hold them straight out instead of tucked in - he is awake for an hour or two at a time and opens his eyes wider
