He is doing very well. He has definitely woken up. He is awake more now and likes to be held. He isn't my fussiest baby, but he isn't the most content baby either. His cranky time is between 7-10 pm. Luckily, Greg is usually home to help hold Guard or get Enoch and Kate into bed. We obviously aren't on a schedule yet, but he seems to go to bed around 10 pm, so if we can hold out for that long, we can get a few hours of sleep before he is awake again.
Silly little boy, he is convinced that if he is awake, he needs to be eating. He is now up to 4 ounces every 2.5 - 3 hours. It's all going somewhere. At his two week old check he weighed 8 lbs. 10 ozs. (47%), measured 20.75 inches (55%) and his head circumference was 36.4 cm (35%).
He did great at his check up and didn't cry at all during his shots, PKU testing and circumcision. I had to leave the room, but Greg stayed with him and said he did great!
I was really hoping that I would get a snuggly baby this time. Guard snuggled for about a week and a half and then he was done. He is constantly trying to get his head up and look around - burping him on your shoulder is work! When he is on his tummy, his head is always moving - first to the left, then to the right and then looking straight ahead. I can tell he already has that freaky Fowler strength. He can get his knees up under him while on his tummy and the other day he rolled over from his tummy to his back. I know that was a fluke, but I'm still impressed that he has the strength and control to do that.
I am getting a bit more picky about pictures of my kids. I still like Target and might go there occasionally, but I really want some nice pictures, since we only do pictures once a year and I don't get school pictures. My friend, Angela, recommended the place, Camera Shy, and I decided to try it out. I am hooked! I was so happy with how they turned out. I'm not including his birth announcement picture, (you'll have to wait and get yours in the mail) but here are a few of my favorites.
