DPP - Day 7

He saw the nurses coming in with the shots.

We had our 2 month well baby appointment today. He is growing big, 13 lbs 4 oz, up 5 pounds from his birth weight. I am already putting him in some 6 month clothes.

All I have to say is 2 months have gone by way to fast. He is already getting such a personality, I love all his smiles and giggles and coos ok, ok, I love him when he cries too and that seems to be quite a bit but we are working through it and his happy days make up for it. I wish I could just sit and hold him all day. If you have ever read "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer" I would say he is the 'spirited baby' with a bit of the 'touchy baby' personality. I read this book when Dane was a baby and I really wish I would have made time to read it before Caed was born, or at least immediately after he was born. Maybe we could have headed off some these crying fits and misunderstandings sooner :o) He is just a boy that knows what he wants, and I love him for it.

1 month (ok 6 weeks)

I got a late start on the growth pictures, but I think that happened with Dane also. Six weeks old today. Can you believe it? He has settled in quite nicely. I already can't imagine life without him. He is a sweetie pie, he had a fussy couple of weeks but I think we are figuring each other out.
Like now that I understand when you are really upset, and are fed and dry it means you just wants to be laid down and left alone. Ok now that we have an understanding, things are better. I also have realized you really don't like your sleep to be disturbed. So having big brother come up and scream "eyes open" in your face is really not helpful and usually ends badly.
It's probably about time to move you into your own room but you always wake up around 3am and have a hard time going back to sleep after you eat. Usually because you have all sorts of mucus choking you up, and being so little you don't understand how to sleep with your mouth open. I lay awake in my own bed trying to help you you breath and clear your throat.
I love all of your smiles and coos and I respect your need for space, though I could hold you all day long. You are growing so fast. I want you to stay small forever, but I am looking forward to seeing you interact with your big brother. I think he will be thrilled once you start playing with him.

Smile

Caed has been smiling for about three weeks now and I finally caught a few little smiles on camera. I love those first smiles so quick and brief but so much fun! I can't believe is is 6 weeks old already.
