Here are a few pictures of Kieran over the last week. He seems so big to us. He is already getting close to shooting out of his 0-3 month clothes. Because he's not a spit up type of baby he doesn't go through as many outfits. I want him to be able to wear all of his stuff...at least once:) Seriously we don't use burp cloths or bibs for this little guy. It floors me since we went through so many of both in one day with Svea.
Kieran does well with tummy time. Most times he will tolerate it for up to 5 minutes before getting fussy. Svea has gotten a little bit better about him being on her play mat, but we're still working on it.
The time I get at home with just him has been wonderful. He takes little cat naps in the morning and then one big nap in the afternoon. For the cat naps we snuggle on the couch together and for the long nap I've been swaddling him and letting him sleep alone in his crib. I can't get over how easy he has been. I literally lay him down in his crib after one or two yawns and leave the room. He doesn't say a peep, but wiggles around a bit and looks at the trees on the walls before slowly drifting off to sleep.
Two nights ago when Dan was out of town he made it in his pack n play all night. He slept from 10:30 to 3:30 and then from 4:00-7:30. It was amazing and I felt refreshed the next day. I handled being at home with two kids under two better than I thought I would. Those hormones must do something to new moms. I hear that a lot how people are petrified of being left alone in the beginning. I feel better about it now and I even time managed some showers in as well!
We will travel to Wisconsin in a few days for the funeral for Grandpa Howard. We'll see how well we handle two kids under two for over six hours in a car:) Time to get creative!
