Weight: Have no idea, but he has to be pushing 15 pounds...
Health: Great! Besides a little gas there and there that cause a little tummy pain he is great! We are super pleased with how he did on the plane and how well he traveled on our trip!
Sleep: The first night on vacation he slept 12 hours straight! It was the perfect way to start our vacation... but that didn't last... we tried to take out his dream feed... that was not a good idea, because on day 3 he work up in the middle of the night starving... so we have added the 10:30pm dream feed back to the mix... and he is back to sleeping from about 9pm-8am with the dream feed at 10:30pm. And for those who are asking what is a dream feed... it is a feeding while he is still asleep that will top him off if you will... and help him sleep a little longer through the night. We only give him 2-2.5 oz. during this feeding,
Social: Loves looking around and taking in new places. While on vacation he met a lot of new people and did very well being held by other family members.
Diet: Mommas milk! While on vacation we only did milk since I pumped plenty, but now that we are home we are incorporating the one formula bottle back in... just to keep him used to it for when we transition... though I'm not sure when that will be.
Clothes: 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers... about to move to size 3 night time diapers.
Baby Gear Loves: Since we took our first trip last week we loved using Ben's portable crib! We choose the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib. It is super easy to put up and folds down into a very small, super light and compact. It was a little more expensive than other pack and plays on the market but we choose this one for travel convience and because it doesn't have a weight limit... since it sits right on the floor. If you are in the market for a great portable crib... check this one out!
Crying: He has had some what I think "gas" pains lately... not sure if it what I'm eating and he is getting in my BM or what... not fun for my little man.
LOVES: His cousin Olivia! While on our vacation these two played and just loved on each other! So blessed that they are so close in age and will grow up with each other. And he especially loved meeting his Great Mom-mom and Pop-pop Baker!
Postpartum: This week I returned to work... it has been easier than I expected, but is still hard to leave my little man. I know he is being cared for and loved so that makes it easier but I still miss him! In other news... I'm still pumping... yes, made it though our vacation... pump and all! And am going to continue to pump while working as long as I can.
My first day back to work!
My first day back to work!
Milestones: Took our first trip as a family of 3, first airplane ride, met his great mom-mom and great pop-pop Baker and many other relatives, found his feet and started grabbing and holding them, rolling over with a purpose from tummy to back and continues to give sweet belly laughs!
This video was taken on our last night on our trip... a sweet memory to end our first vacation together! Love those belly laughs!
