Alex has a slacker mom!

Posted by misty on May-2-2008

Or a tired one. :P

We’re doing great - he’s so big! I promise pictures tonight, it’s just been so crazy around here. I’ve been sick for a few days and that really takes one out of commission I’ve found when you’re trying to keep up already!

Until pictures, let’s sum up what’s been going on in the life of Alex:

  • Getting Bigger!
  • Smiling!
  • Cooing!
  • Not sleeping at night!
  • Sleeping all day!
  • Exclusively Breastfeeding (Finally!!) except for his 2pm medicine bottle. Even that’s just an oz, and he gets the rest of his feeding from me. If I could figure out how to give him his meds without this bottle I would :P
  • I estimate him to be about 9lb 6oz by my uneducated guess (put me on the scale, then put him on the scale with me :P)

He likes his carrier thankfully, and I love it too. I’m hoping we get a chance to get out this weekend so we can get even more great pictures of him. We all took a (short) walk the other night too, and it was so nice. He does really well when he’s moving (car, carrier, stroller, etc), so we’re lucky there. He likes his playmat, but he seems to have a low tolerance for it sometimes. He’s great with tummytime, and even though he goes noodle on me a lot his neck is pretty strog.

Now if he’ll stop rolling over on his side in his sleep and moving all the way to the side of the bassinet, I’d sleep better at night. :P

    Oh my no, you are in -no- way slacker!!! I apologize for clamoring for more pics of the adorable Alex *grin* - he’s just so photogenic! Believe me, I know how busy you are and how little time you have to sleep. The only tip I can give about that, btw, is to try to sleep when he is asleep — even though you think you need to do other stuff then, let someone else do that, and you sleep! {{{{{Turners}}}}}

    Can you maybe put some rolled up towels or something either side of him, might hold him more in place.
