New Favorites: Being awake, Looking at hands, Using a pacifier.
Eating: Anton still eats every 2-3 hours. He has already gained a pound! He really loves eating.
Sleeping: Since he is gaining weight and doing well the doctor said we no longer need to wake him every two hours to feed. He's sleeping 3-3.5 hour stretches at night which is a nice change.
Milestones: We've gone on a short rainy walk with the ergo carrier, several car and stroller rides, and he has even attended two dinner parties. Such a social butterfly!
Mom and Dad: Ivalle went back to work this morning. :( Anton and I miss having him around, but it will be nice to figure out our routine. Grandma Pam is in town to help us with the transition. We are very thankful!
Activities: We have a well baby appointment tomorrow. We are also planning some long walks since mama is finally feeling better!
Other: The dream catcher and turtle in the photos are very special handmade gifts from a co-worker. She is native american and gave these two items to Anton with special instructions about the traditions and materials used. The dream catcher is used to protect him from nightmares and give him peaceful sleep. The turtle actually holds his umbilical cord and will bring him good luck if kept near him in his nursery. I loved this gift. Such a thoughtful treasure.
