Brody was weighed again at his doctor visit yesterday and is already 11 lbs 2 oz!! At just 5 weeks, my baby is growing like a weed! In fact he has outgrown most of his newborn size clothes. Look at the stack I already pulled out of his closet and drawers...holy smokes! We're also out of newborn size diapers and moved on to size one! (Actually we did this at about 3 1/2 weeks!) :)
We also reached a milestone last night. Brody slept for 7 hours! Well, sort of... I fed him at 8:30 after his bath, then put him to bed and he didn't get up again till 3:30! I was so impressed! We also tried something new last night and instead of waiting for him to fall asleep in my arms after eating, I put him to bed awake, turned on his mobile and after a little bit of fussing (although no actual crying), he fell asleep on his own. He did that at both 8:30 and the 3:30 AM feeding. I'm sure I can't expect that every night, but it is so refreshing to know that maybe hopefully getting up every 3-4 hours in the night can end soon!
Here is another attempt at capturing that precious smile...
What a big boy! He seems happy and is way cute :) I love those cheeks! Happy to hear about the 7 hours of sleep - that was nice I am sure. Hopefully it will become more of a regular thing for you guys! Love you and see you soon....
