7 Weeks!

Today Henry is 7 weeks old! He is getting so big and and developing a little personality already, and it's so much fun. I know it just gets better from here, and as much as I love and cherish those first few days and weeks with a newborn, I have to say I am looking forward to the next few months and watching him grow....and sleep better! Ha! A few days ago I thought he was on his way to waking only once a night, because he went from about 9 or 10 until 2 or 3 in the morning, but the last few nights he has been waking up twice again. It's mostly gas that is waking him up, because he hardly eats anything. I think I am going to try giving him the paci instead of nursing him to see what happens...

We also have been trying to get him to sleep in his bed during that first stretch, and then because his room is upstairs and ours is down, I just take him down with us after he wakes up the first time, and he sleeps in the pack and play in our room.

He is a great eater and seems to go a lot faster than Abbie, which is nice at night because I'm not up for an hour each time like I remember with her.

He is starting to recognize us now, and grab at things, and pay attention to the mobile on his swing. He loves to be in the Baby Bjorn, likes sleeping on his belly, and definitely has a fussy time in the evenings. He's also not a big fan of the car seat right now.

His eyes are still blue, but I'm still pretty positive they are going to change to brown. His hair is dark, and he has an olive skin tone.

He is pure cuteness!!
