Smiling

This is what makes the sleepless nights worth it!

Soy

As some of you know both Eric and I were considered "spit up" babies and we were both on soy milk formula. We'll it looks like Walker has taken after both of us. I started Walker on soy milk and lets just say his spit up has significantly decreased to just a few dribbles starting on Saturday night (and hopefully will continue). The amount he would spit up was ridicules. I was having to use a towel before because the spit rags were too small for the amount he would spit back up, but it looks like I can start using normal spit rags and people can stop looking at me weird. He seems to be much happier with the soy, too.

Sleep

Lets just say that I am happy that walker Walker has eliminated one middle of the night feeding all on his own for 3 days now. So now our schedule is he eats at 10 pm and then at 3 am and not again until 7 am. Hopefully pretty soon we will take out the 3 am feeding! I hope I'm not jinxing this.

Lately

Lets see what has been going on lately.

*Walker has been smiling a ton and has started to make little cooing sounds.
*Today we started letting him cry it out for nap time and lets say so far the first time it took 17 minutes and now the second time it took 12 minutes! (lets see if he keeps this up)
*He's starting to sleep longer at night, we'll lets say on the nights that he chooses
*He eats about 4 oz at each feeding
*Eric is tired because I let him cry for a little while at night to make sure he really wants up
*Eric is an amazing husband, he really helps out a ton and is extremely supportive in everything
*Me, I think my body has somewhat adjust to sleeping in increments
*Oh, I turned the big 27 on Monday

The latest

They sure do change quickly! Right when I think I got our schedule figured out for eating and sleeping, something changes. Walker is finally putting on the weight and he is getting longer I swear everyday. He is way more alert now and his legs are sticking out straight more and more each day. He's smiling a ton and is starting to out grow the newborn clothes but the 0-3 mths are still big.

Mommy and Daddy are doing good, I think I am finally adjusting to getting sleep in spurts. All in all things are going good!

1-15-11 update

My life has definitely changed from eating whatever I wanted and from sleeping at night, to where now I can't eat dairy products or peanut butter and I only get sleep in increments now. But what can I say I love this little guy so it's totally worth it, except for I do love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (oh boo). Anyways, these pictures were taken today when Walker and I went on our first little walk together, I finally got to use our stroller, yeah!
