Benjamin Button

Happy 8 weeks Ben! I have not been good at keeping track of your development....I meant to blog about you weekly but now I think I'll shoot for monthly because you keep us very busy!  Time is flying by and you are growing and changing everyday. I'm really loving that you are becoming chubbier and more sturdy, I'm much more comfortable with babies once they have some chub on them.

You are a pretty easy baby most of the time....nursing went a lot better with you in the beginning than it did with Oliver. We had some latch issues right away but you caught on pretty quick. Unfortunately we have had Thrush now twice, which is quite painful (for me). It doesn't seem to affect you, you don't really  I'm hoping it doesn't come back after this round of meds. I nurse you most of the time and then you get 1 or 2 bottles in the evening, during your crabby time. You get ornery between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.  Usually overtired and wanting to cluster feed.

You slept a lot during the day as a newborn but now you are starting to stay awake a bit more during ...taking 2 longer naps and a couple short ones.  You are still waking up 2-3 times during the night to eat. I'm wondering when you will stop this? Usually you just eat and then go back to sleep, but sometimes you'll want to have some awake time.
