7 Weeks Old

Tummy Time

Cute Little Toes

Thomas is almost 2 months old already...that is astounding. Time is flying much more quickly than it did with Malena! Thomas is already in 3-6 mo. clothing and wears size 2 diapers.

Thomas is a pretty darn good baby I must say. He spends his days sleeping mostly -- with 1-hour awake times between naps. For the past week or so, I've been putting him down at 7 or 7:30 p.m. He goes down pretty easily, but I am still swaddling him. He usually wakes up around midnight to eat and falls back asleep easily. Most nights he wakes up again at 3 or 4 a.m., but he isn't hungry, and this is the most difficult part about him. If I don't nurse him, he screams for 2 hours. If I do nurse him, he just nibbles and falls asleep immediately. Ugh. This is really frustrating. He is then up again at about 6 a.m. to eat. Like I said, some nights are better than others, but this early morning freaky routine has got to stop!

It's no use trying to force any pattern at this point...we are headed to Lake George for 10 days. He is taking his first plane ride tonight. It's a red eye flight, and I can guarantee both T.J. and I will step off the plane in Albany with very red eyes.
