I don't make good sleepers apparently. Henry is sleeping better at night. He'll go about 5 hours. He had a rough start and only started sleeping better a couple weeks ago. He was horribly congested for 2 weeks. I was pretty concerned but right when we were about to take him to the doctor it cleared up. When he was congested he was up every 2 hours struggling to breath, poor boy. He is swaddled for now. Henry is a chronic 40 min napper. No matter what I do or don't do, he just can't get back to sleep after that first wake up. I feel bad letting him cry after he wakes because his body just won't let him fall back asleep. I'm learning to be laid back and be thankful for a healthy yet poor sleeping baby. We'll work more on sleep training later but for now I'm just enjoying my sweet boy.
Mae is talking more and getting a bigger personality daily. She can be such a goof ball and such a stinker all within 5 minutes. She gets 1 to 5 time outs a day. Recently I'll count to three and at "two" she'll say "sorry mommy" in the sweetest little voice. She's learning well. Praise the Lord she's not super strong willed. I'm sure we're due for a strong willed one soon. ; )
We took Henry to the doctor today to check out a lump in his chest which turned out just to be part of his sternum that just sticks out. He weighs 16lbs and is 26in long. He's in the 95% for both. The first doctor we went to in Branson said Henry was fat because I breastfeed to much, needless to say we won't be going back. The doctor we went to today who is exclusively for employees of Silver Dollar City said you can't overfeed a breastfed baby and to feed him whenever he wants. I'm glad he said this even though I know it's true. That first doctor was a joke!
Now onto some pictures!
