Happy Si

For those of you who don't regularly check Chase's blog, here's happy Si:

7

Simon is seven weeks old today. To celebrate, he had a poopsplosion around 6:30 a.m., peed all over around 9:30, quickly followed by more poo and a squirt more pee. We went through two sets of jammies, a onesie and a half day's worth of diapers in three hours. At least we're still using diapers we got from baby showers!

All of that was followed by a photo shoot, some fussing and a walk around the neighborhood.



He's now too big for most of his newborn clothes and is officially in size 0-3 months. Si also gets more extreme with his moods. While he gets fussier when upset, he has also gotten smilier and laughs some. Food time is his favorite time.

Happy 7 weeks Baby Si!

The Tick

So this morning I got out of the shower and found a tick on my thigh!  I never had a tick before, and if you haven't had one, I don't recommend it.  It didn't hurt (well, it hurt slightly when Chase was killing it), but it was gross.  I had to have Chase remove it for me because (a) I couldn't really get to it myself, (b) I don't know how to remove ticks, and (c) it grossed me out too much.  Thankfully, my husband saved me from Lyme disease.

In other news, I had my 6 week post baby checkup this morning.  It'll be nice not to have any doctors up in my business for a year, that is unless another R2 comes along before then...  (Hopefully we'll have a bit of a break before that happens, but if it does, it does.)

Schedule

In case you don't regularly check Chase's blog, he posted a video of Si's morning cuteness yesterday.

And if you're wondering how the sleeping/eating schedule is going for Si, here's the lowdown... Baby Wise had a suggested schedule with 5 short naps a day and that just wasn't working out. Personally, I think that's a lot of naps and Si doesn't like being put down for his nap, so we're trying 2 longer naps. He has been going to sleep pretty easily at night, but not for his naps. And, no, he doesn't sleep through the night yet.

This Week's Project

This week's big project is getting Si on a feeding/sleeping schedule. It's day 2 and he does not like naps. I borrowed and read the book Baby Wise on the recommendation of a couple friends and am attempting their "parent directed feeding" flexible schedule. We'll see how it goes.

Once Si is sleeping through the night, I think my next big project might be learning to bake this dish:
