I can't believe 4 weeks have passed since Caleb's birth! Our lives have changed in so many ways since his arrival! Sleep is a distant memory, we are on man-on-man defense with two kids and it takes twice as long to do everything (this said as I type and feed "Lil Man"). Yet, we wouldn't change a thing. . . well, except for his sleep habits! We celebrated his 1 month bday with a trip to see his great grandma, Monty. She loved all over him and introduced him to everyone, including the mailman. . . no joke! It was a great day complete with lots feedings, naps and a photo shoot at home.
Here are some pictures & fun facts about our "Lil Man":
*Caleb's nicknames are "buddy" and "Lil Man"
*He eats every 3-4 hours
*A few nights he has gone 4-5 hrs b/t feedings (heaven!)
*He can down a bottle in about 7 mins....ALL 4 ounces!
*He belches like a grown man and has the worst smelling gas (Sorry buddy, I am sure one day this fun fact will embaress you, or possibly gratify you)
*You love car rides, but don't enjoy getting buckled in your carseat
*You are laid back, unless you are hungry, wet or gassy
*You began experiencing some serious gas and digestive issues a few weeks ago, and as a result are taking .6 ml of Zantac for reflux
*You are more alert these last few days and are beginning to notice more of your surroundings
*You make LOTS of noises when you asleep, which is why you no longer sleep in a basinette in our room
*You prefer to sleep in your bouncy seat throughout the day and night, however, I am trying to get you more comfortable in your bed
*You do not mind noise, which is good when you have a very loud and verbal 3 year old sister (who by the way adores you!)
*You have long, skinny arms, legs, fingers and toes (much like your Mama)
*You have a full head of dark brown hair and big beautiful eyes
*You have a quiet cry (but you don't have a problem turning up the volume when your needs are not being met in a timely manner)
*You are the PERFECT addition to our family. We couldn't love you more!
Happy 1 month bday, Caleb!
Our Caleb had reflux too and took Zantac for about 9 months. He is a cutie! Glad Mackenzie has gotten over the fact that he is a boy :) Sleepless nights.....don't miss those (but they are worth it). I love his nursery!
