6 Weeks Old!

Bear is six weeks old today! A whole month and a half, sounds like a short time but I feel like he has been with me for months and months.

Personality: Bear is turning into a feisty little thing! :] He knows now that when he wants to be held (which is always) that all he needs to do is scream. This can be frustrating at times and very exhausting because he never wants to be put down, but he does have his good days where he is quite mellow. On his better days, he is now starting to smile when we talk to him. He has also started to coo and when we coo back he responds. It is beyond precious. 

Health: We have our 1 month doc appointment set up for Tuesday the 19th (even though he will almost be 2 months then). As far as we know he is in good health thank God. It does look like he is developing a bumpy red rash on his arms, face, and chest but we think it is an irritation from sweat because he sweats A LOT when he sleeps.

Features: Personally I think he is starting to look like Daddy! His skin is getting a little darker and his belly is getting bigger :] His face is getting cuter as it fills out with fat. He's getting more and more adorable by the minute. 

Sleeping: We are still having quite a bit of issues with the sleeping. We are now trying to make a schedule for him and we are trying to teach him how to fall asleep on his own. That isn't going so well as he still wants to scream every time we put him down, but it's a work in progress I'm sure he'll get it soon :] He loves to be swaddled and given his binky as seen in the pic above. Those swaddles are a life saver too! I could never get a secure swaddle out of a receiving blanket!

Eating Habits: Bear is now eating 6 oz every 2-3 hours! He's becoming a big boy! He even started using the big sized bottles. 

Growth: My sweet baby is getting bigger! He now fits into quite a bit of size 0-3 months clothes and size 1 diapers are starting to fit him snugly as well. He even wore his 1st pair of jeans today! 

How I'm Adjusting: As the days go by I can feel our bond getting stronger and stronger! I could not imagine life without my baby. I love him so much, I don't want to spend a single second away from him. He is starting to hold eye contact more and when he gazes into my eyes I can feel that he loves me back so much all ready.
