I'm really enjoying my time at home. Brent is 9 weeks now, I can hardly believe it. We're staying very busy, no chance of being bored. We have our challenging moments, like Brent screaming, for no reason, for the entire drive from Redwood City to Morgan Hill but all it takes for him to smile to make everything better. We love seeing his personality (and smile) develop.
He's eating every 2 - 3 hours and taking 2 or 3 naps during the day. We started a bedtime routine which has helped keep me more sane. I feed him at about 5:00 everyday, we take the dogs on a walk, and I feed him again. Then he gets a bath, reading time, I feed him again, we swaddle him, and then rock him to sleep. Then once he's in his bassinet, I wake him up a little bit so he learns to fall asleep on his own. I also use white noise all night - it works so well. Our routine is working pretty well, he is sleeping from about 9 pm -4 am, then 5 am -8am.
We're keeping busy with walking, hiking with friends, attending 2 moms groups (plus lunches), and today we started Baby Boot Camp. After all that, plus eating, and grocery shopping, and starting our routine at 5:00, there isn't much extra time.
We're off to San Diego in the morning for Brent's cousin Dylan's first birthday!
Yay for baby boot camp!!! Sounds like an ideal summer to me:)
