Brady is really chunking up. At his 1 month doctor's appointment, he was up to 11 lbs 2 oz (77%), and 22 3/4 inches (82%) and all around healthy and happy.
We have given up on breastfeeding, it was getting frustrating for him to nurse and still need a full bottle. So we are only doing bottles. I have been pumping several times a day, and am able to give him a couple bottles a day of breast milk. I plan to keep doing that as long as can, hopefully at least 6 more weeks.
Brady is doing well at night, we can usually count on stretches of at least 4 hours. Last night, he slept for 5 1/2 hours! But I am not naive enough to expect that from now on, but I hope we are headed that way.
I find I am struggling to find things to do during the day. When he wakes up, he eats and then plays on his playmat. But I feel like he gets bored and fussy after a bit. I not sure what else to do to keep him entertained. I take him for walks, but he falls right asleep, and I don't want him sleeping all day. Any suggestions?

| First Bath. I hate to see him cry, but I do think he looks so cute with this lower lip like that. |

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. When Pete was a baby I use to sit in the paddling pool with him, he loved having the water splashed on his face and it passed a lot of time! The lower lip is so so cute x
