Week 5


We had an accident today. My sweetest boy peed on one of the girls that was holding him at church. In one hour he had completely filled the diaper and overflowed... I felt so very bad!

Our sweet little man didn't sleep last night so we came home early and fell asleep cuddled together on the bed. I think this is what happens when babies get their nights and days backwards? We are trying to turn this before it lasts too long.

Scott goes back to work tomorrow and we are already missing time with our little man. I have so much I need to do so that I can be at home with Xan. We have to get back out of debt... Adoption is expensive! The Lord will bless us.

The weather's cooling so we have had a chance to take Xander for some wonderful walks around town. He loves his stroller and sleeps hard the whole walk.

He is growing so fast and we are enjoying every moment. He's such a beautiful little man. His hair is lightening and taking on a redish tint in certain lights. His eyes change from dark gray blue to dark gray brown so we wait to see what happens with that. He is gaining weight wonderfully. He seems to be going through a growth spurt and eats 2-3 oz every couple hours! Oh, how we love our little man.

Little babies aren't very good at schedules. I've found that if you just wait a little bit they sort of schedule themselves out and then when you start noticing that routine... that's when you start trying to schedule them. If you try to force them into one it only makes everyone grumpy and sad.

I'd say by three months old you'll start noticing those little things-- If you haven't already-- like him always waking up to eat at 3 AM or he tends to fall asleep at 11AM. Then you can use those as the basis for your sanity.

Make sense? With Vicbowin I didn't know that and I was a real wreck. Now with the other ones I know to just wait and I have really learned to adore my infants... possibly more than any other age. I'm very fond of newborns.

He's beautiful you know!
