My Little Man is Growing Up....3 weeks!!

Wow...every time I look down at him he seems to be getting bigger and older looking!! I want to buy a scale so I can see just how much he is gaining...I will have to look into that!!!

I still am getting only about 2 hours of sleep at a time since the little guy is hungry!! They say that they experience a growth spurt between 2 and 3 weeks and will demand more to eat... isn't that the truth!!! I can tell though that each day his naps are getting a little longer.

He had his first bout of major GAS pains due to something I ate of course and it irritated him for a day or so BUT the MYLICON drops are a tummy saver!!! Apparently they are not digested by the body but only break down the gas bubbles to smaller ones in the intestine so you can basically give it to him as much as he needs it!!! He likes the taste of it too...smells like dessert!! YumYum!!

He also has decided that he likes the Avent pacifier so much more than the famous Soothie....oh well...maybe later!!!

I knew he was going to be a "wild" man because he moved around ALL the time when I was carrying him. This week when I put him on his stomach he was already SCOOTING!!!!! Holy Cow!!! He's gonna be walking before we know it!! And since he was born, he has held his head up pretty good all by himself and just today when I laid him on his stomach for "tummy time" he turned his head from left to right all by himself!!! Where is my little baby going???

He also pushes against my breast when he wants to take a break and then latches back on....it's so weird to see him take control of things already!!!

FYI...little baby boys do have erections!!!! Thank Goodness he won't need Viagra!!!

I put on the BabyBjorn Carrier today and walked down to the mailbox for the first time with him since it was so cool outside and he liked it so much he was asleep before I was even half way there...I guess I could also use it to soothe him when he gets so overt tired he fights going to sleep!!!

I also put him on the sleep positioner for the first time today and he seems to really like it. It sits at an incline which I thinks he prefers than to lay flat....it also makes heart beats so he will feel like he is next to me...pretty cool!!!

Next in line is the real bath and a real stroller ride!! Let you know how that goes!!!
