Mom-ents

Today I was just relaxing with Wyatt fast asleep on my chest and I started thinking about how fast time seems to go by and that I am so lucky to have him so I should treasure these moments. Things have been going a lot better my confidence in my baby raising abilities has returned and I am really enjoying watching his suttle changes.
Stan and I got horrible colds this week so the late nights have been really hard. Last night I was able to take some cough medicine and get some sleep because Stan was nice enough to take over some extra feeding times for me.

Nights with Wyatt are usually very good he will cry every 3 hours or so for his feedings. He is difficult at night when we are putting him down to sleep but that is totally fine as long as he goes right to sleep after the late night feedings. We have had a few challenging nights where Wyatt would cry a lot and last night happened to be one of those times. It was pretty bad I would put him down and then 20-30 mins later he was up and crying again. This is so rare though honestly so I know that usually there is a problem if he cries like that. Last night I am pretty sure he just had gas.

I have been incorporating some quality tummy time and bicycle times to get Wyatt's muscles going. He can pull himself up pretty far and can do several lifts so I am really proud. He isn't too happy with the tummy time but I have never seen a baby that liked the feeling. I have been trying to give him some tummy time on my chest too where he can pull himself up to look at me when he wants and rest when he feels like it. This will also give him a chance to get used to being on his belly. Its cool because he already moves his back legs perfectly. I have been trying to have him sitting with me a lot to work his back and neck muscles that way too.

He started drinking more formula recently. He just moved up to 3 ounces and today we started trying to space his feeding time to every 3 1/2 hours instead of every 3. Then we will do every 4 hours if he is up to it. I knew it was time to move him up when he started spitting up at certain feedings or drinking a lot less. In fact he would just skip some all together. so all in all things are going great.
