Caleb's New Life!

Finally -time to post!

Life has been revolving around our sweet little son lately. He is such a joy and a challenge to us, but of course, we love him all the same!

He is now 7 and a half weeks old and going through some eating changes...some good -slept last night from 9:30pm until 4am!!!...some not so good(?) -went two times today only eating every 4-5 hours instead of 3 -worried poor mommy! Trying to establish any kind of routine is a little tough right now. 'sigh' We'll try again tomorrow! :0)

He weighed 12.9 pounds at the doctor this week and has grown 2 more inches since birth. He is starting to smile and talk to us daily and his favorite activity would have to be his bath. Even though from the pictures below, you might think it's sleeping!

Jen and Eric and the boys also visited for 2 weeks -that will be our next post! God Bless!

Steph! He is seriously a handsome dude! Dont worry about routines - max is 4 months and still doesnt have one. Also Max weighed 13.5 lb at 4 months...so Calab is doing great on teh weight scale!

Steph - where did you get the template. I love it.

Kevin, Sonya, Claire & Max said...

Steph - no tips on the schedule - sorry. Max really just got one and it is a pretty rough one, because it still changes all the time. Claire made her own and I observed it and then helped her to follow it. I think by 3 months till 6 months that they have 3 naps a day - am , afternoon, and early evening - just look for it and dont stress over it. We go out a lot and do things - so that messes Max up all the time. I learned with Claire (and it depends on your baby) that if I sat around all day trying to go on her schedule that I'd never get out. Going out (like for a walk, to the mall etc) at the same time each day makes them sleepy so they'll fall asleep on the way home etc. Max is not like Claire though so I am finding it more tricky with him.

Sorry I am not much more help.
