15 weeks old

Today AJ is 15 weeks old. I didn't get a chance to weigh him today at our Mom's Group but last week we was 15 lbs 3 ozs. He wears 6/9 month clothes. He is starting to grab at things and puts them straight into his mouth. It is so fun to watch him grow on a daily basis.

He hates the car so we upgraded to a convertible car seat a few weeks ago and it is going a little better. We installed it on the passenger side so he likes to look out the window. He isn't always happy but at least his blood curdling screaming has been reduced by 50%!

His sleep schedule is still garbage but we are working on it. I'm hoping he embraces it soon as I returned to work last week and I'm tired.

3 Months

AJ is 3 months old today. Few photos from the last few weeks.

This is super late as blogspot doesn't want to upload my photos and since I have a 3 minute window to update this, it doesn't get done!

10 weeks - Pumpkin Patch

Sunday, October 21st we took AJ to the pumpkin patch. I love Fall/Halloween although I haven't found the time to get down my decorations yet. The weather was perfect and he behaved during his adventure. He is on a sleep strike at the moment and is killing me! I try reasoning with him but as expected, he doesn't care. I'm hoping this phase is over soon and we go back to sleeping the night. I was spoiled with a few 8 hour evenings only to revert back to up every 2-3 hours.

Here is our little pumpkin.

2 months old

AJ turned 2 months old on Sunday. He had his well baby check-up on Monday and weighed in at 12 lbs 3 ozs and is now 23.5 inches long which puts him in the 60th percentile. He was not happy about the four shots he received, but at least he got cool camo band-aids.

Two on each side

Everyday I add another piece of clothing to the "Does not fit anymore" box. He is too long for several of the one piece outfits that are size 3 months. We pulled out PJ's in 3-6 months.

Developmentally he is right on track. He loves to smile and talk to you. I can't wait for him to actually giggle - he seems so close. Tummy time isn't a huge hit but he will tolerate it. He likes to get on his toes and pull himself with his fists clenched on the blanket.

Ignore the blurry hands..his little smirk was too cute not to share

He loves to kick on the floor

 

8 weeks old

AJ is 8 weeks old and weighs 12 lbs 2 ozs. I packed away his 0-3 PJs this week as they aren't long enough anymore. It doesn't feel like two months have past since we welcomed him into our lives. He is smiling more and babbling all the time. We are still working on his awful sleep habits. I'm open to any suggestions! He will stay awake for at least 5 hours and then he is exhausted but he does not fall asleep on his own. It takes lots of rocking and then transferring him to his crib.

Daddy had last week off to spend time with us. We took AJ for his first trip to Napa.

6 weeks

AJ has changed so much in six weeks. He is sleeping longer at night and even surprised us with a few 6 hour stretches. We are trying to end his 5+ hour waking streaks during the day to avoid the meltdowns. His doctor has him on probiotics to help with the colic.

Major developments: Smiles at you and is talking more. So cute listening to him babble.

He is 11 lbs 2 ozs and wearing 3 month clothing and some 3-6 month items.

AJ's First Month

The first month is a huge blur. Amazing what sleep deprivation will do to you. My parents came for a week to help out. Then I was on my own during the days. I slept when baby slept which didn't feel like all that much sleep. He has colic so the evenings are rough and I breastfeed so Chris does what he can to give me a break. We also found he was tongue tied, which required a trip to the pediatric ENT for it to be clipped. Hopefully breastfeeding would be easier for AJ as he was slow to gain.
