- you are starting to make a lot of different noises
- you are moving your entire body like crazy,
swinging your arms up and down
kicking your legs
just getting all kinds of excited
- when you are hanging out by yourself your head will follow us around the room as we move about
- you only get up once in the middle of the night to eat, typically sleep 7-8 straight hours straight starting between 6:30 - 7:30pm, not always around that time though
- you still laugh in your sleep, but you laughed the best at 8 weeks when your dad was using you as his weights bringing you up and down in the air
- you are a snuggler and i love when you nestle around my neck
- when you are in the ergo and wanting to sleep you stick your head right in the middle of my chest with your face straight in me
- you drool a ton! and you blow bubbles all the time
- usually eat on one side every 4 hours sometimes 3 or even 5 hours
- you need your morning nap
- you are loving your mobile now, i catch you laughing at it
- you still smile when we whistle
- you dig your fist
- we call your pacifier your bullet, on occasion you really like sucking it
- loud noises still startle you
We are having a great time. The longer stretches of sleep have made us feel a little more human. I don’t think we are even close to catching up on life and sleep, but everyday is getting closer. I still very much feel the effects of a long labor, a big boy and doing too much the first month.
Cap has gotten pretty overstimulated several times, but we always leave time for some quietness. When he is thinking and staring at something, we try very hard not to interrupt those moments. It can be pretty hard not to come up to him and make noises and get him to smile. He can observe an object for 10-20 minutes as long as we don’t get in the way of it. This is something that we have been intentional about and want to continue with. In an overstimulated nation with constant noise and visual garbage most of us would struggle sitting on a porch watching a bird’s comings and goings for longer than 2 minutes.
We are off to Tejas!
