This past Saturday, Tommy and I went on our first "date night" since William was born. Of course, Grandma Karen was eager to babysit! We went to a concert in Tampa and left for about 5 hours. Needless to say, Will did great. He entertained Grandma, Grandpa Greg, and Aunt Kasey and they thanked US for letting them watch him! I was sad/nervous/anxious all at once to leave him at first but was fine after a little while. I knew he was in good hands!
Not too much to report-William is 6 weeks old today! This week, Tommy and I have been trying to figure out his "eating habits." Actually, we've figured them out-he wants to eat ALL THE TIME. He tends to get cranky in the evenings unless he eats every hour. So we're just trying to get used to that and handle it appropriately. Otherwise, he's a very happy and alert baby. He's starting to make "coo" noises other than the "baby grunts." We've noticed a few smiles and think now it's more than just gas!
A lot of people have been asking about his sleeping patterns. On average, he goes about 4-5 hours on his first stretch, wakes up and eats, then goes about 3-4 more hours. His daily naps vary- sometimes he'll sleep most of the day and other days he's awake the majority of the time. That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. I'm VERY happy though with his night sleep because I hear horror stories from other moms. He's a good boy!
More pictures to come soon!
