3 weeks old

Oh my sweet lil' monkey, you are growing like a weed these days! You eat non-stop, which is good for milk production but very confusing for mommy and daddy because we just don't know where you are holding all that milk?! :) You are sleeping (and letting mommy and daddy sleep) for the most part through the night. We feed you around 9:00pm and you sometimes go down right after but usually by the time the news is on you are asleep and will sleep to anywhere between 1:00am and 3:00am, just depends on how messy your diaper is :) then you let mommy and daddy sleep until your 6:00am feeding, mommy usually lets daddy sleep in until your 9:00am feeding though. You are getting better at sleeping during the day between feedings and not being too fussy but you do still have you occasional "fussy moments" here or there, for this we have enlisted the help of pediatrician recommended Gripe Water, and it works wonders! You still get the hiccups all the time, usually after your feedings but you are dealing with them better. You still have some trouble with spitting up and choking while eating but learning to deal with that as well. Daddy has a really good way of calming you down when you are fussy, I guess it's cuz you know you aren't getting any food from him if you cry??? You are starting to show more emotions on your face, smiling a lot more, grimacing while making prizes for mommy and daddy, raising your eyebrows at different voices and starting to coo. I love watching you while you sleep, you make all these faces and all sorts of sweet noises that make mommyhood so worth it! You are starting to get a little too big for some outfits, i.e. below, but still too small to fit into the "0-3 Month" outfits that we have. You have just about a handful of onesies that we put you in all the time, people probably think you don't have any clothes, it's not that, you have tons, you just can't wear them yet!!! However, you are eating more and more with each passing day so I have a feeling you will be in those outfits before too much longer!

My sweet boys!
