We have had fun dressing up Kaleb. We decorated his room in a jungle theme so he has a lot of monkeys, giraffes and tigers to play with. He also has fun hanging out with his Dad and watching football. He is already a VOLS fan...hey, he came out with orange hair didnt he!
Mom has very surprisingly loved being at home with Kaleb. I thought I would get bored, but I can stare at him all day long and be perfectly happy. I have also been surprised at how little I get done during the day. The times he's sleeping i'm taking a shower or eating lunch..one day I noticed that it was 5pm and I hadnt brushed my teeth yet...Recently he has started smiling and I just love it. I understand why people dont want to go back to work after maternity leave b/c they (babies) are constantly reaching new milestones and I just dont want to miss any of them. I am still planing on working part time though.
Well, Kaleb is now around 12.6 pounds at 7 weeks. He is a very good baby and is very laid back. He only cries if he's hungry or tired and then we quickly try to help him. He likes his play mat and it keeps him busy for hours at a time. He has been consistantly going 6-7 hours between meals at night so i'm starting to get some good sleep. He does however like to be awake between 10 and 12 midnight and likes to play then. So I have adjusted my schedule too, for now. We have been very blessed to have our friends make us dinner and I have only cooked about 3 meals so far. I know that i will need to start soon and my routine is becoming easier and more organized.
