Weekend and Sam is 3 weeks old
Oh the exciting weekends we have. Jason spent most of the day replacing the screens on the front of the house that were damaged during the crazy hail storm we had a week ago. Sam spent most of the day eating with a few naps in between. Henry had his normal weekend pancake breakfast, playing dinosaurs and Legos and watching Bubble Guppies morning, a 3 hour nap with brats for dinner and some time outside on his playgym.
Henry was very funny this evening while brushing his teeth. Every few brushes he would lean over the sink and pretend to spit. I think he's watched Jason or I brush a few times and is trying to imitate us.
Sam - 3 weeks old
Sam's - eats for about 20 minutes during night feedings around 1am, 4am and 6-7am, wakes up around 9am and will either go directly back to sleep for an hour after eating or have some awake time (about 2 hours) with Henry and I. During his awake times we try to put him on a blanket on the floor to play and some tummy time. Henry usually will sit or lay near Sam on the blanket during these times patting his back or talking to "Baby Sam". He loves the swing and will fall asleep in it. During the day he eats and naps about every 3 hours with another awake time period around 5pm. The last two days he seems to be eating much more often, growth spurt? He's nearly out of newborn size clothes but still in newborn size disposable diapers. He rarely cries unless he's hungry, needs to burp or has somehow peed outside of his diaper. Today I put him in his first cloth diaper. I can't wait to get him in them full time so that I can not spend over $70+ a month putting him in disposable diapers. We've gone through at least 200 diapers in 3 weeks (maybe 300, I can't remember how many boxes I've bought). He's also developed a bit of baby acne in the last two days. Other than random naps, last night was Sam's first night sleeping in his room rather than in the portable crib in our room.
