New Favorites: Giggles!! This little boy is starting to crack himself up. He loves to laugh during little copy cat games we play together. He is becoming so much fun.
Eating: I weighed Anton at a moms group this week and he was 16 pounds. No wonder my back and arms have been so achy lately. He is a monster to carry around. I'm thinking we might need to transition from carrying him in the carseat and use the ergo more often instead. What a chunk!
Sleeping: We're still on a wonderful nap schedule. As long as I do the regular routine, he is pretty easy to get down for a nap. He even responds to napping in unusual places if I can get enough of our routine going. Swaddle, rocking, bouncing, shhhing and sound machine on the iPhone usually gets him sleepy enough to nap in my arms. Nights are still a bit iffy. Sometimes he sleeps 4 or 5 hour stretches but more often than not he has had nights with 2 and 3.....ouch - it makes for a tired mama in the morning. Now if only I could learn to nap too.
Milestones: Still working on tummy time and rolling over. I'd say his biggest milestone this week is just seeming so much more comfortable in his own skin. He is really happy and friendly now and seems to have past the crybaby days of the 4th trimester. Hopefully we can enjoy this pleasant little man before the teething days kick in.
Mom and Dad: Like I mentioned before, my back is killing me. I really need to work on better posture while holding him and rocking him all the time. Dad has been serenading his son with sweet guitar tunes in the evenings and Anton even likes to sing along. It is really a sight to see.
Activities: We really outdid ourselves this week. We've been to OMSI, Mama matinee movie, lunch with friends, moms group, neighbor play dates.... I think next week we might take it a bit easier. I've been trying to squeeze everything in since I'm starting to feel the end of my maternity leave is right around the corner. Grammy and Grampy are coming to visit next week and we are looking forward to some time with them!
