Deacon - almost 8 weeks


  • Pooped on me last night at 3am while we were waiting for his bottle to warm up
  • Finally realized how wonderful SwaddleMe's are. He slept great the first night we used and and has been getting better. We had two good nights in a row!
  • Starting to smile with his eyes open. Smiles with his eyes closed more, too. So cute!
  • Getting some chubby cheeks and legs.
  • Kicks his legs and moves his arms all at once sometimes.
  • Eats about 6 ounces every 3-4 hours.
  • Wakes up once between 3:00-4:00 am to eat, then usually wakes up again around 6:30 am with gas, so we put him on the bed with us and he'll sleep until around 8:30 am.
  • Makes lots of funny, cute noises.
  • Opens his eyes really wide sometimes.
  • Likes to lay on his changing mat. Sometimes when he is upset, we will just lay him on that and he will calm down.
  • Hated his baths at first, but is getting better every time. I think the water was a little too cold at first. The warmer water has seemed to help. He had his best ever bath last night with just some noises.
  • Starting to get on a "nap" schedule some.
  • Always falls asleep in the carseat - does really well in the car and on errands.
  • About 23-24 inches long.
  • I think his gas is starting to get better, but his is starting to have some small blow-outs ): Dad even changed his first major poop at Grandma and Grandpa's. I was shocked!
  • Dribbles a lot when he eats. I have started to put a bib on him.
  • Sometimes we go through 3-4 outfits a day.
  • Is awake a lot more in the day now.
  • When he sleeps in his bassinet on his back, he some how scoots all the way to one side and has his face right up against it.
  • Mommy and Daddy just love him!! (:
