I cannot believe our little man is already one month old! Time is flying too fast and it makes me more depressed knowing I didn't have any maternity leave, so I only have six weeks left with him at home. I keep making sure to soak up every moment just in case we decide to stop at two kids. I can't even recall Izzy being this size and/or this whole newborn stage. I am sure most of it is due in fact to the lack of sleep I had and my mind purposely blocking it out so that I would have more children. :) Mr. Bobby is as sweet as can be. He is very calm, unless you are holding him off when he wants to eat, then he will let you know to feed him and feed him now. He doesn't want to be forgotten. He loves to sleep the day away, but makes sure to wake up at night for food. During the day, he often times needs to be woken to eat. He is a trooper, he is dragged around to playdates or activities for Izzy each day and usually doesn't make a peep the whole time we are out. We are enjoying that this summer, because next summer, I am sure he'll be running around like crazy keep us busy. He usually eats every 3-3.5 hours during the day, 3-4 at night. Last night, he slept his longest stretch, but he also took 6.5 oz from a bottle!! We are struggling to get him to take a bottle and are working hard on it for our trip to Hawaii. We can't have him screaming during the ceremony, so he needs to take a bottle. He will give in and drink a little, then start screaming. We got a new kind of bottle to try out tonight and are hoping that will help. While I am flattered that he prefers his momma, it makes me nervous with our trip coming up and knowing I will have to go back to work in six weeks. I am sure he'll turn a corner and eventually give in and take a bottle without fussing.
Bobby's Loves: His nuk, sleeping, EATING, eating, and eating more, snuggling, being swaddled and swayed to sleep, looking around and checking things out, his mom, dad, and sister.
Bobby's Dislikes: Being naked, being cold, cold wipes on his bottom, not being fed immediately when he is hungry, when his nuk falls out of his mouth, not being able to get his hands into his mouth, BOTTLES!!
I just started to smile, but mom can never catch it!
Checking out sister.
I have the silliest faces! Mom and Dad are in trouble, my sister gives this same look when she is being naughty!
I am looking around more and more each day!
Silly face
I sleep ALL the time! Mom has to wake me to eat most of the time or I might just sleep all day long. However, at night, I still like to wake every 3-4 hours to eat.
"Wait, there is another elephant over here!"
Love these two!
I can't wait to watch these two start to interact. Izzy wasn't okay with Bobby getting all the pictures by himself, so she jumped in and knew just what to do.
I am very mellow, unless I am hungry and you aren't feeding me right away, then I let you know I am pissed.
I love my nuk, but keep looking for my hands. Mom thinks I might prefer my hands once I have control of them.
He is such an old little man.
