Six Weeks

Graham is six weeks old today! It is hard to believe. He will start daycare in 3 weeks which makes me sad. We went to the doctor yesterday for his reflux and he is now on meds and today already seems like a happier baby. We are hoping it works for him! Here is what he has been up to lately...

This is one of the few times he has hung out in his crib since he sleeps in a bassinet for now. He likes the dog mobile and is only happy while it is playing. Rock-a-bye Baby is a short tune though.

Here he is hanging ten. Mommy is a sucker for baby toys. I saw this in a clothing store and had never seen a "Tummy Time Mat" so I bought it only later to discover that some of the floor mats have tummy pillows too. (We got one without though.) Oh well, you only have a "first baby" once. The tummy pillow does help with "Tummy Time" though.


One big milestone this past week was sleeping for 5 plus hours during the night. Mommy loves this milestone! However, we dearly pay for it because the "Witching Hour" is now the one to two hours prior to the five hours of sleep. Last night, however, Graham would only sleep while being held so I am just praying five hours of straight sleep returns...like as in does not pass Go, does not collect $200, but returns straight to the bassinet immediately. Graham was also pretty fussy all day Sunday (All this fussiness is one reason we took him to the doctor this week. His tummy was really hurting.) and would only sleep on a pillow in Mommy and Daddy's bed (if one of us was not holding him). He also seems to prefer no clothes as you can see here.

He is getting so big that he has started wearing some 3 month clothes. This was the first 3 month outfit he wore. He is a little Snugglesaurus.

And this is him on his new play mat. He finally started smiling and making noises today now that he has medicine for his reflux. This made mommy VERY happy! We've been waiting for a cooing, happy baby. =) He really focused on the purple elephant. (Uncle Jared, could this mean he is a Tide fan even though purple is the wrong color?)


Ok, this was like seven posts in one. Sorry that it is so long. It was a difficult week with a not-so-happy baby, but hopefully we are taking a turn for the better!
