New Favorites: Sitting in a bouncer chair on loan from a friend. Smiling and cooing at books that I read to him. Trying to copy me when I stick out my tongue. (and let's get real - screaming in my ear and scratching at my neck with his tiny fingernails) I mean, it's not all fun and games, but I will savor all of the snuggle moments when he finally curls up on my lap and takes little baby snoozes.
Eating: Huge breakthrough. I feel like we are finally on the right track with nursing. No more round the clock pumping.
Sleeping: We're working on it. The doctor said "thats great!" when I told her he was sleeping 5 hour stretches at night. I didn't realize that was supposed to be "so great". I guess he's doing the normal breastfed baby thing. It takes time to get them to sleep longer. It's not like you can just tell them to. (Although Ivalle's grandmother would beg to differ)
Milestones: We visited the pediatrician this week and got all kinds of stats. Turns out he is in the 95th percentile for height and 50th for weight. We've got a baller on our hands. Tall and skinny.
Mom and Dad: Let's see. Is anything really about us anymore?
Activities: Anton and I have been going to La Leche league meetings together. Which is a breastfeeding support group. Or rather, A bunch of really awesome ladies with tiny babies and toddlers to make us feel like everything is ok. So far Anton has been loving the meet ups. He acts like the perfect baby sleeping and smiling in my arms and then waits till we get back in the car to wail like crazy. What a faker.
