It hardly seems real...this new life that I lead. Motherhood has definitely been the best thing that I has happened in my life. Brody is such a joy to have around and Brandon and I are finally getting back to being "us" as a couple as well as "us" as parents. It's a fine balance and I think after 11 weeks we've figure it out.
Brody is getting SO BIG! These are the new things he is doing at 11 weeks:
- He is scooting. He will kick himself or push on the floor until he moves forward. He has gotten out of his position at night 3 times this week!
- He has found his voice and loves to talk! He will coo and aahhh and oohhhh right along with mommy when I'm talking to him.
- He only gets up once at night at the same time 3 am. He goes down around 9 every night and sleeps til 3, eats and then goes back to bed until about 6:30 or 7.
- He can roll to his side
- We are working on head control. He's liking his tummy time better so that helps.
- He is still a kicker! Loves to kick those legs
- During the week he is up to 4 oz bottles now, every 2-3 hours! He really loves to eat. The other day I pumped 6 1/2 oz before leaving for work and the little chunky monkey ate it all in one feeding!! I was shocked!
- This week he was sleeping a lot and then he would eat a lot so I think he is growing again.
- He's in size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes are pretty much gone :( He is definitely in 3-6 tops and some 0-3 shorts can fit but are tight around the belly so we just go with 3-6. He's not even 3 months old yet!
Last night Brandon and I had a date night. My parents came over to watch Brody while we went to dinner and then we came home and played the Wii. Brody slept the whole time
