5 weeks

Got Gas?

I'm definitely getting slower and slower with these weekly updates. We had a great 5th week here at the McCollough household. (Knock on wood) Brody seems to be in a schedule now at night. The past 5 out of 6 nights he has gone to bed at 11:00 and wakes up to eat at 3:00. Then he doesn't wake up again until 5:30 or 6 am and will even go back to sleep after that until about 9:30. We had one really bad night this week...he didn't go to bed until 12:30 and woke up at 3:00 am for the rest of the night. Those nights are really long and really hard but luckily it only happens when Brody has a bad case of gas.

This is my last week off from work and I return next week. I have mixed feelings about this. I feel ready but at the same time I so don't want to return. I think the only thing that is helping is knowing he will be with family and completely loved on all day long and the fact that I only have 8 weeks left in the school year. I also return on a 4 day work week so that helps! It's going to be so hard leaving my baby :(

Here's what Brody's been doing this week:
- You love your play mat and the dog that sings to you.
- You have started to laugh and coo
- You love your Grammy's voice and smile anytime you hear her
- You are starting to get into a schedule at night
- You now fit into all newborn outfits and some 0-3 months
- You are still in newborn diapers but can wear 1's if I make them really tight
- You want to be entertained more when you are awake, you get restless when held and like to be in your swing or bouncy.
- You love the bouncy seat especially when I put the vibration on.
- You are focusing and following with your eyes more.
- You LOVE bath time

Til next time,
