Today is Nico's one month "birthday"!
Things are going pretty
well. After a tough time of big fussiness and crying that I couldn't
comfort without feeding, and Jose with bouncing on the exercise ball,
Nico has now started a sweet cuddling phase where he doesn't want to be
outside of someone's arms. Though busy, and doesn't allow for bathroom
breaks when home alone, I much prefer this phase to inconsolable crying!
Another trick I have now to calm Nico down is walking around in our
backyard and singing random songs in different languages. Today we met
one of my neighbors there, and when I introduced her to Nico, he
promptly spit up right down my chest - I guess this cleavage is good for
something else besides feeding him!
Some other Nico details - he remains a very short (if any!) napper
during the day, but has graced us with a great gift! He will do a big
feeding about 7 in our bed with me, and then SLEEP from 8 to about 11!
This is great, as this period was prior Nico's major fussy time. So now
he gets rest, and Jose and I get a little time to be together. Nico is
then up every few hours for more feedings, and is waking up for good
earlier in the day - but having this night time break and getting him
down and avoiding a major fussy time is worth it!
His eyes are HUGE and blue. He seems very determined and excited in
much of his pursuits - which are basically feeding, being changed,
hugging. And he is becoming bald! I think this is normal, but it's funny
to see!
That's the latest for now. Happy one month birthday Nico!
