Hi all,

Checking in for the first time in weeks. I had to go back to work (new job though!) when YT was 7 weeks old. My new job is much closer to home, but still the same long hours. I hate being away from him for so much of the day, but unfortunately it's necessary at this point.

About him, lets see what he's up to...

First smile on Mothers Day at 7 weeks old. Has gotten much more smile-y since then (he's ka'h 12 weeks now).

His sleep habits have gotten better over the past few weeks too. The first time he slept through the night (one Shabbos he slept from 12:30 to 7:45!!!!), I told everyone about it and EVERYONE's reply was "Don't tell people, or he won't do it anymore." So for now all I'll say is that some nights are better than others. The through-the-night sleep has been added to his repertoire, but I won't say how frequently or infrequently it happens. Just that when it does, it's the greatest feeling in the world! :)

ka'h YT is growing by leaps and bounds. His scrawny little chicken legs have been replaced with pinch-able pulkes that I love to kiss. He quickly lost his initial baby-fat/bloated newborn look, but has really started filling out around the face over the past week or so. He's getting to be a gezunte kid - just ask my shoulders after holding him for extended periods.

He is up to 6-8 oz of formula avery 3-4 hours (longer most nights). We switched a few weeks ago from soy-based formula to milk-based. He was not constipated per se on soy, but every diaper made him scream and cry in pain, even though it was on a regular basis. So we switched - the diapers got much better, but now he spits up much more than he used to. So we're still working that out.

He's ka'h a pretty well-behaved baby most of the time, unless he's overtired or hurting. His personality is starting to appear, and B"H he seems to be pretty good natured. He is very amused by his musical bouncy seat - loves to sit in in. He doesn't like the swing though... Oh well, can't win them all.

iy"H the adoption will be finalized in just a few more weeks and then we get to start the fun of dealing with the social Security Administration to get him a social security number and card. In the meantime, we're just loving being parents!

Talk to y'all later!!

Ha! I'm definately sleep deprived, and I can prove it!
I was dressing Gedalya and just like I do with Zusha, I told him to give me his foot. Now don't laugh too hard... I actually stood there waiting for him to give me his foot! :blush

On a more nostalgic note, I looked at Gedalya today, and it struck me- he's no newborn anymore. I watched him sleep, and he looked like a regular baby that does regular baby things. Not a fragile-support my head-sleep all day-wrinkly newborn. *SNIFF*

Mmmm.. my 3 week old is already starting to fill out and look more like a baby and less like a newborn. I'm not having anymore after him so I'm trying to soak in all the "newness" about him. Time flies....

But, on the other hand, I can't wait for him to flip and sleep at night!!!
