We had a full day today. Milo and I went for a nice walk with our friends Marcia and James for about an hour and a half this morning. It was pretty muggy out and I ended up drenched with sweat. We started out in the stroller, made it about 15 min then Milo was done. So in the Moby he went... and he napped for probably an hour. After that our friends Kendra and Sadie came over. It was nice getting to talk with Kendra. Kendra has become a very good friend. We were pregnant together and our babies are just ten weeks apart in age. Its nice having another mom that is like minded to bounce ideas off of. I always enjoy the time we spend together. And I have a feeling Milo and Sadie are going to be good friends. After we ate a little bite, we went to new mom's group. Again, we had a nice time. Its another great place to bounce things around and hear what every else is doing with their babies... schedules, no schedules, teething, growth spurts, etc. And we always get to weigh our babes. Today Milo weighed 13 lb 7 oz. He's a growing boy for sure.
Milo slept last night from about 10-4:30! That's six and a half hours straight. I'll take it. :) Hopefully we'll get another nice stretch like that tonight. I just wish Milo would be able to keep his pacifier in. We literally have to hold it in for him. Sometimes if he gets it just right he can keep it in for maybe 15 or 20 seconds. I'm hoping if he is in fact tongue tied and they snip it... it'll help with his pacifier difficulties. He really loves it and it would be GREAT if he could keep it in. It would sure make car rides, nap time, and bed time much more pleasant for all of us. Today in the car I ended up with my arm reaching back over his car seat with my finger in his mouth to calm him down.
Hmm. Not much else is new. My days are truly heavenly... spending time staring at my baby's face... there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. Well... maybe staring at my baby's face, with my husband, while at the beach (when I say beach, I mean an North East beach... not a lake beach... sorry Michiganders, but your beaches just don't do it for us.) That would be nice.
I can't believe how fast he's growing, Kelly! Molly just recently got over 15lbs! I may have already mentioned this, but have you tried a bunch of different kinds of pacifiers? Molly was the same way; she loved her pacifier but couldn't hold it in her mouth (we originally tried the Soothies). But we tried a bunch of different kinds, and I think the 4th one was a charm (which happened to be Nuks). Just a suggestion!
ReplyDeleteHey-- you should try some other passies---Advent makes some really good ones
ReplyDeleteWe had the same problem with pacifiers with both our boys. We held them in for quite a while so that they would catch on and both used them for a long time (Owen still sleeps with his). What kind are you using? We found the soothie ones to be the worst, even though they recommend them for nursing babies. We switched to Avent with Lewis at 5-6 weeks and it was so much easier for him to keep in. You might try some different ones and see what works. They make teething much more bearable too. :)
