So Ben acted like a newborn for all of two weeks. He has now grown out of all his clothes and is in 3-6 months... he rolled over at 3 weeks from front to back and is now awake and alert for much of the day. No one believes he is 4 weeks old! He also has developed an aversion to sleeping and jolts himself awake even though his eyes are rolling back in his exhausted little head- he just doesn't want to miss anything! He is sleeping okay at night but I did expect some more daytime sleeping.
The first cold....
As I sit here typing this he is in his sling (oh I forgot to mention he won't be put down- he screams like a wild banshee!) making the most pathetic little sniffling sounds because his nose is so plugged (although I do strangely find sucking the mucus from his nose with the bulb syringe entertaining). He gives a mini sneeze and cough occasionally as well. This of course called for an early morning visit to the dreaded store I dare not speak of (starts with a W ends with mart...) for a humidifier and saline drops.
Other then that he really does change everyday and a little more of his personality comes out. I can't wait for his first purposeful smile! It should be coming any day now!
***Jon would like to know why his "big boy" 3-6 month old pants have pockets... should we get him a wallet?!
