This sweet boy has blessed our lives for two whole months now! It has gone by fast but I have made sure to enjoy every moment! Over the past month he has become more alert and enjoys playing in his activity gym and with rattles. He definitely loves to smile and coo. I love when he'll just be cooing to himself. He sounds so happy! He loves having his diaper changed. That's definitely when I really get to talk to him and see a lot of smiles! Love it! Even at 3 am! It's hard to put him back to sleep when he's all smiles. Oh they melt my heart.
He just learned to take hold of his rattle and hold on. He'll just move his arms and the rattle just shakes! It's so cute! He has no idea what he's doing.
I go back to work next month and it's bittersweet! As much as I would love to be home all the time and take care of him, I love my career. I love going to work and making a difference. Working nights will be tiring, but I know I am not missing much as he will be sleeping. Also, my mother in law will be watching Nico during the day on days I need to sleep. I am so fortunate to have her watch him for us. Knowing he is in great hands with someone we know, love and trust makes going to work a lot easier.
Nico is a pretty good sleeper. He will usually get a solid 6.5-7 hours. He wakes up anywhere between 2-4am to eat. Hopefully that will stop soon...who knows! We have him going down at 8-830pm (depends on his last feeding and bath). He's still swaddled and doesn't fight it. He knows it's bedtime when he's swaddled and does great going to asleep. We'll put him down and give him his paci and within 10 minutes he is asleep. No fuss or crying. At 7 weeks we put him in his crib for the first time and he did awesome! Daddy sure had a good nights rest after that!
He gets a bath every other night and he LOVES bath time. He splashes but he doesn't know that he is actually doing it yet. I know the time will come where he does know what he is doing and it's going to be a wet mess! lol.

ReplyDeleteHa youre totally right! His head is still a lil floppy but it's slowly getting stronger! Can't wait for him to really sit in there and hold his head up!
