a little comparison shot
smile: wednesday evening, while i was playing with trevor on the floor, he smiled in response to me. he had been looking at books then i pulled his head up straight and put my face in front of him and smiled. he smiled back! later in the week, he started smiling in the mornings too; more than usually which makes me hope those real smiles keep coming. that night i also tried putting him in a bumbo chair for the first time; he did pretty good with neck control but he got the hiccups right when i put him in there, so i took him out. he still gets the hiccups everyday.
blurry due to hiccups;
and he looks like a turtle :)
poop: then thursday (al's first day off) i took tator outside to run and when i came back in, al & trevor were up in trevor's room on his changing table. al never takes him up there to change him, so i went up and trevor had his first blow out. right on daddy. :) it came out the diaper, all over his side/back, down his leg (inside his outfit). it was kinda funny but probly only because it wasn't on me. i thought he might be less gassy/fussy after that, but he wasn't; he was an unhappy boy until he crashed. speaking of that, i read that during weeks 6-8, infants typically go through a gassy/fussy phase where their tummys and insides are getting used to pushing out gas/poop when it needs to. so that made me feel much better about it.
sleep: trevor is getting better at self soothing at night and putting himself to sleep. at night, if it's bath night he gets a bath, then some play time including reading/singing, and then i feed him. i then typically put him in the playpen. before he'd usually be asleep when i did this but lately he's been awake. so he lays in there and looks around and does well until he's about to fall asleep. he then starts fussing a little bit, but i can now tell the difference between this tired fuss and an actual cry. so before i try the nuk, i let him fuss a bit and most nights this week, he's fussed himself right to sleep and stayed asleep! after this, he also goes 5 or 6 hours between feedings which mean we get a bunch of sleep (well, relative to what we were getting). it's glorious! i forgot what it felt like to wake up with sleep in my eyes :)
saturday morning trevor, tator and i headed up to mom's (our first time without al, which i was nervous about, but they both did really well and slept the whole time.) saturday afternoon was our shower thrown by the wednesday night ladies softball team at gaylene's house. it was a great shower and so nice to see my ladies!! then saturday evening, judie, angi and ruby came over to visit; they loved trevor and ruby is getting so big, she's walking already! trevor's routine was a bit off due to driving, meeting lots of people, and having to feed him before he wanted it a couple times (2 hours instead of 3-4 hours.) this meant that he didn't get a long nap like he usually does in the afternoons, so he took it from 6-8pm. not good for sleeping all night then; we were awake from 2 until 7ish. luckily mom got up at 7 and took him so that i could sleep. i need to be more aware that he needs to get in one good nap each day that is not after 6pm.
i wanted to get a picture of his little blonde swirl
and mullet :) (hard to see but so cute!)
getting so good at tummy time!
wearing his first hoodie :)
knocked out after our walk
he's been into eating his fists,
even just after he's eaten
(not a sign of hunger)
love when he sleeps on me!
also, crazy outta control mullet hair
and knuckle dimples!! :]
