Personality: Bear seems a lot more spunky this week! He is starting to cry with different tones now. He has a cry for when he needs something, when he wants something, when he is cranky, and when he hurts. He is also becoming more playful. He is alert for many hours of the day and loves to be held and talked to! He loves to look at toys and watch Elmo too.
Growth: Bear has definitely grown! I am sure he gained weight since the last time we took him to the doctor (about 1.5 weeks ago). It is getting hard for Anthony to carry him in his car seat now and my arms hurt after just a few moments of holding him but I'm a weakling lol. He is now wearing quite a few size 0-3 months outfits and I think we may even need to go up to size 2 diapers the next time we buy them
Health: His health has been good other than the fact that he seems to be spiting up more frequently now. Last night we had to change his clothes about 4 times in one hour because he kept spitting up. His cry did sound raspy for a few days too like he was getting a cold but nothing came of it so we think we are in the clear for now.
How Anthony is adjusting: I see Anthony falling in love with Bear more and more each
day. And Bear loves his daddy so much too. There are times that I will be
holding him and he won’t stop crying for anything, and then I will hand him to
Anthony and he will stop. He does the same with me as well, he is forming two
very strong bonds as well as one big one with the whole family. He really binds
us tight together.
Eating: He is still eating the same amount about
6 oz every 2-3 hours. He is getting very angry when he does not have his milk
too! He will scream so loud you would swear he’s in the worst pain but when you
put his bottle in his mouth he instantly stops. Boy loves his food. At times he
will take just 3 oz and then stop and want to play for about 30 min and then
drink 3 oz again, this is a new thing he just started doing
Sleeping: Bear is definitely doing better with the sleeping!
He gets cranky at around 8-9 PM every night if he is not all ready asleep. We
have to swaddle him and give him his binky until he falls asleep. Once he is
asleep he will stay asleep until around 1 to 1:30 AM when he will wake for a
bottle. He will then go back to sleep and sleep til 5-6 AM and get up for
another bottle then back to bed. Then he will wake up for the day at around
8-9AM. So he is doing really well! We are thankful and glad that he is now on
some form of schedule.
Looks: Bear is getting darker! YAY! I started noticing this
in some of the pictures that I took he is now darker than I am (but then again
who isn’t lol). I can’t wait to see if he gets as dark as his daddy! He definitely
looks a lot more like Anthony at this point than he does me.
Soooo cute!
