Week Seven: At A Glance

Week Seven (May 7th through May 13th) was probably the easiest and the hardest week so far. Easiest in the sense that we started an "official" bed time routine which worked really well every night. However, it was the hardest because I would think he would be in a real schedule by now and he's really not. He was also pretty fussy this past week always wanting to nurse. I'm attributing that to a growth spurt but man did he have his fussy moments.

He still has no real schedule (boooo)

• He rarely took naps this week which made for long, fussy moments during the day


• We started "bed time" this week and he did well sleeping in the bassinet for longer than usual


• Does a great job of grasping things and now grabs onto my shirts while nursing


• He had his biggest poop to date (Daddy likes to know about his poops) - it somehow ended up in his belly button.


• The three of us went for a walk to get ice cream


• We tried to get his birth certificate from our town hall but they just gave me a very cheesy-looking piece of paper

*Alexander & Mommy have some good quality time in the morning before going downstairs

*He has the cutest smile

*Took a bath with Mommy in the big tube and liked being in the water

*Went to Mommy's dr appt and was such a good boy

Sleeps 98% of the time when riding in the car

• Visiting Grammie & Grampie at their work


• Went to St Marks for the first time (to try to schedule his baptism)


• Celebrated our First Mother's Day


• Wanted to nurse quite often and when he's in those moods he's not a happy little boy and Mommy's a tired mommy
