We take our afternoon nap together
Alex is getting little curls on the top of his head...so cute! Maybe he will have curly or wavy hair...we will have to see
The first week just Alex and me went by so quick. I can't believe he is now 2 weeks old! I love him so much and still can't believe he is ours. Becoming a mom has been the most awesome thing. I know he won't stay this small for long so I try to enjoy these days right now where he can sleep on my chest or cuddle all curled up in a little ball.
His face is filling out a little and he is definitely gaining weight. He had his two week appointment today and gained 9 ounces in 6 days and now weighing in at 8lbs 6oz.
Alex is such a good baby. He doesn't cry or fuss much and usually we are able to calm him fairly quickly. He eats so much and so frequently that sometimes I feel strapped to the couch feeding. Poor Chris gets home from work and all Alex wants to do is eat for several hours straight. I'm glad he eats so well and is so healthy though. Breastfeeding is such an investment of your time but it seems like it is getting better and better as each day goes by. Alex is already getting into a little bit of a schedule and letting us sleep for 3 hours at a time at night which is great because that means we only get up 2 times! Auntie Katie's tips on a dark room and music really helped Alex sleep longer.
Alex loves his little play mat and just looking up at the hanging toys. He is always so alert and looking around when awake and so I got him a mobile for his bassinet which I hope will help him stay in there a little longer. Right now he seems to sleep best in the infant seat or one of our chests.
