Happy Saturday Morning!

Our little family is having a somewhat lazy Saturday morning, despite that last night was probably the best we’ve had yet. Ashton wakes up every three hours, almost on the dot, to be fed and changed. After he is full and dry, we swaddle him and put him back to sleep in his bassinet next to our bed. It is usually a battle to get him to fall back asleep. He struggles against the blanket until he gets his arms out, and then he cries, we re-swaddle him and give him a pacifier. This buys about five minutes and the cycle repeats. Last night though he was a champ! He went right down all three times after being fed, no whining! It was really nice. Of course I don’t expect that to be the new standard but at least now I know it CAN happen.

Also good news yesterday – we went to the pediatrician and A has cracked 8 pounds (8 pounds 3 oz to be exact). It had been 12 days since our last appointment and he weighed 7 lbs 6 oz, so the weight gain made me feel good because ALL I do is feed him! His little arms and legs are starting to bulk up – he has lots of tiny rolls and it’s so cute.

Speaking of cute…here are some latest pics!

In his swing (his rabbit went for the ride as well as Ashton only takes up half the seat!)
