I'm not sure who this outfit was from but I love it- it's 3 months size and fits fine, and has a baseball on the bum!
His doctor's appointment is this Thursday so I will update his height/weight then, but here's what's been going on with him:
Likes:
Sleeping on Mom - this hasn't changed, but he has been GREAT at sleeping at night. We started a loose "schedule", since I don't plan on trying to get a real schedule going until his 3 months old. We let him be during the day. He doesn't really nap much, and likes to be held alot. Then at about 8 we start getting him ready for bed. Depending on when he got his last bottle, we may need to feed him another, but we have him swaddled by 9 pm ish. I've thought about giving him a bath every night to add to the routine, but his skin has been a little dry so I'm holding off on that for now. He's gotten much better with the baths too, now he just looks at me as if to say, what the heck are you doing?? No more screaming. :) He then sleeps from around 9 until 1 or 2 am, then back to bed until 6 ish. If he's not up at 6 we wake him. It isn't always easy to get him back to bed after the night feeding, so we just take it day by day.
His Activity Mat - My dad's friends bought this for us off my registry and it is awesome! I can put him on this while I make bottles, pee, etc, and he's a happy little guy. He started to kick and squeal and smile at it too, it is just awesome to watch.
Eating: He's still going strong at this. We have him up to 5 ounces (just moved up from 4.5)every 2-3 hours. If he is sleeping and it's been 3 hours, we wake him up - that seems to help and get him to be able to sleep more at night.
Dislikes:
The two major ones are really getting his diaper changed - although this is about a 50/50 thing. Half the time he's fine and the other half he's screaming bloody murder, and the other is waiting for a bottle. If he wakes up from sleeping and is hungry, he SCREAMS as if you've never fed him before. We used to get very frazzled, crazy at first, but now we just laugh. The second the bottle is in his mouth, he goes quiet and is happy.
Things have definitely gotten easier now that we're into month two. I think he is settling in and calming down better, and is starting to realize he can't get back into my stomach :)
Lastly, if you wonder how I was able to type this since he's always attached to me, here's how:
