3 Weeks

Time is still flying by.  We are starting to figure out a 'schedule'... or at least a way I can get something done (besides feeding, pumping, and rocking a baby to sleep) and not feel like all my days are over before I know it.

At 3 weeks:
Braxton was sleeping 3-4 hr stretches but now wakes up starving every 2-2.5 hrs... hopefully just a growth spurt.

Is showing so much personality when he eats (well, to us).  Lots of noises, grunts, old man faces, and the crazy head shake that indicates the 'starving' mentioned above.  I'll get a video and post it... so funny!

Has his awake time between 8 and 11 pm.  Not ideal since his dad wants to go to bed at 9, but we'll work on it.

Still gets the hiccups.

Likes to be swaddled but hates when you wrap up his arms.  He likes to sleep with them up by his face.

Has outgrown his newborn clothes and is now fitting into his 0-3 mth ones.

I dressed my little man up and took a few posed newborn pictures.
Then, I took some more casual ones the other day and like these a lot better.

Funny side note... Brian experienced the first blowout yesterday.  I left to get some laundry out and came back to this.
Instead of putting more clothes on Braxton, he just swaddled back up his half naked body and continued to feed him.

What a cute little man!! He really is way too adorable -- sorry it's obvious that I stalk your blog waiting for the latest pictures. :)

Remind Brian about what I told him being a father is. Putting your hands in another human's poop. A lot!
