So life has been adjusting well with our new addition. Hes such a good baby and does everything according to the books. He has been gaining weight and fitting into his newborn clothes. Hes been sleeping well at night and eating well when awake and making lots of poopy diapers for us! Yesterday was Valentines Day and my sister and Jessica came to watch Landon while Taylor and I went to lunch. It was really nice. I am still slow to walk and move around but it was nice to get out again. I cant wait until we can take Landon places. We saw a baby who was one week old while at Olive Garden. I just dont think I would have wanted to take him out so soon! We have gone to dr appts but thats it. I might take him to bible study next week. Just depends on if I am allowed to drive or hold more than his weight by then. I will go to my dr this friday so hopefully Ill get an OK to do more stuff! I think we have a good routine where I would be more comfortable taking him out. I feel like I know him now. I can distinguish his cries and I know when hes hungry, tired, or wants to play. Its weird how that happens. But like I said before, he is a great baby! Last night I took care of him and stayed on the couch while Taylor was sleeping because he had work. Well, we stayed up pretty late anyway, about 1am. But instead of him taking over until 3 or 4, I took the whole shift and it was sooo good! Landon is sleeping longer now because his eating is more sufficiant at his feedings. The books say that they will learn to eat more at feedings and be full for longer periods of time. So hes going about 3-4 hours between feedings now, thus giving us more time to sleep or do other things between feeding time. I was able to get 2 to 2.5 hours of sleep at a time, giving me about 7 hours of sleep last night total! I am just so thankful for a good happy baby. Hes also starting to become more alert and awak during the day which is good. We still dont have a lot of playtime yet but we will put him on his tummy and back and move his legs and arms and now I have also been trying to stimulate him with some rattles and soft toys so he can feel different textures. By two months he should have his social smile and I cant wait until he smiles back at me! He will smile in his sleep and he has the cutest little dimples, just like Taylor.
It has been an absolute joy to watch him grow. I cant wait for certain milestones but for now I am enjoying the time we have now! I love him sooooo much!
