So, this is a new position we tried out today that was surprisingly comfortable. I’m kind of kneeling and leaning forward on a pillow. It looks a little awkward, but it felt really nice. I had a nice long (monitored) nap in that position. I’m not saying that it is going to me my favoriteContinue reading “Kneeling”

I loved to be carried! If didn’t worry about Mommy and Daddy’s arms getting worn out, I would demand to be carried all the time. Okay, if I’m honest, there are days where I do demand to be carried all the time. I like it when Daddy cradles me in his arms. His forearm fitsContinue reading “Positions”

When Daddy is off from work, he spends every waking moment with me. He always leaps at every chance to take care of me. He changes as many diapers as he can, he bathes me, rocks me to sleep, naps with me, and does everything but breast feed me. He even encourages Mommy to leaveContinue reading “Daddy’s days off”

It is tough to read newborns. We can’t really show many emotions. We can cry in frustration or anger, and maybe give a few looks of satisfaction and peacefulness, but we can’t laugh, smile, or show any sign of enjoyment. So, I’m going to forgive Mommy and Daddy for not knowing whether I am enjoyingContinue reading “Rocket Man”

Some nights are like clockwork. I go to sleep and then I wake up 3 hours later hungry and ready to be nursed. Some nights are very peaceful and I sleep for 4 or nearly 5 hours before I wake up. Other nights I don’t ever fully go to sleep. No matter what kind ofContinue reading “Nighttime nursing routine”

“It was a rough night.” Well, you know how the day started. Let’s talk about the rest of it. Daddy went off to work with dangerously little sleep. Mommy was left alone with me, the both of us with very little sleep as well. This was not a formula for an easy day. Mommy didContinue reading “Colicky?”

Today has been one of those days. It all started last night. For some reason, I just couldn’t get to sleep. Well, actually, I could get to sleep, but I couldn’t stay asleep. I wouldn’t let Mommy or Daddy put me down. I would barely let them sit down while carrying me. Daddy had theContinue reading “Rough night”

Yes, my neck is hanging out over the edge of the sling and my head is upside down. No, it doesn’t hurt. Yes, it looks a bit weird. No, I’m not going to stop. Yes, I kind of get a head rush, which may be why I go to sleep quickly this way. No, thisContinue reading “Upside down neck hanging”

There is a lot going on when I sleep. For one thing, I’m growing. Along with eating, which I do very well, sleeping helps me grow into big boy. I don’t always sleep well, but I am growing regardless. But besides that, I’m actually quite a busy sleeper. There are all sort of things thatContinue reading “Busy sleeper”

I’m still not getting any traction from my feet when I do tummy time. My legs are gearing to go, but I’m not getting anywhere. You might point out that my arms aren’t doing anything. You might also feel the need to mention that tummy time is not time for me to do what looksContinue reading “No traction”

It seems like I like more space above my head when I sleep. I often shimmy down in my crib and chair to make some space above my head. I don’t think I’m claustrophobic or anything. I just like more space above me. You may recall that I did the same thing in the babyContinue reading “Head space”

Today I helped Daddy get ready for work. Mommy was up with me a bunch last night, so Daddy took care of me as he got ready for work. I helped him by making his day so much brighter by being such a good boy early in the morning. He usually does not enjoy wakingContinue reading “Getting ready for work with Daddy”

Mommy and Daddy have a lot of different ways to hold me. They change the way they hold me based on my moods, my needs, and their present physical ability. But even with all the different ways to hold me, we seem to have found a way that works for all of us.

I’ve got fuel, the engine is running, the wheels are turning, but I’m not moving anywhere. This is what happens when all you have is two-wheel drive. I’ve got to learn how to shift into all-wheel drive and then I’m really going places!

Sleeping Awake Somewhere in between

I am not a light baby. So Mommy and Daddy’s arms get really tired holding me for a long time. Our solution is a sling. It is a simple baby carrier for babies of all ages. I think most babies like to be tucked completely into the sling in a little bundle, but I likeContinue reading “Slinger”

Whenever I am put on my tummy, I try to lift my head up. There is so much more to see in the world when I lift my head up and look around. It is much easier to do that when I am on Mommy or Daddy’s chest than when on the floor. But atContinue reading “Heads up”
