The last three weeks have been a blur. I have actually been thinking about how I can't wait until January when Zooey's OT is up, and I can have four days a week at home (with the exception of church on Sundays), instead of needing to be somewhere every weekday but Monday. As I did, and do, with Zooey, I pray that God will help me to cherish this time with my littles, busy as it is.
Tennyson is doing great! I weighed him on our scale last Saturday, and he's up to 12.05 lbs. I measured him yesterday, and he's 23 inches! Wow! He's a big boy, already outgrowing some of his three month clothes and I'm sure quickly moving into six months clothes. He started smiling in his 5th week, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE those little baby smiles. The last couple of days he's also started cooing and making more noises. We have a black and white picture above our couch that all babies seem to love. Today he saw it and smiled and kicked. He was super excited to see it! He's also getting more interested in the swing and mobiles (on his swing and in his crib). He definitely "woke up" a little more this past week. My sweet Zooey girl is sick today, and he saw her on the couch when he was playing on the floor and stared at her for the longest time cooing; it was adorable! Another exciting thing was that he slept nine hours on Sunday (I don't expect him to go that long again for awhile, but he had had a rough night!) and last night he went from the dreamfeed to 6:00, so 6.5 hours - very exciting! His hair has grown a little bit; it's fuzzy, and I love to nuzzle and kiss his little head. I know a lot of people don't like the newborn phase, and it definitely has it's challenges, but there is a lot I love about it, too. I feel like I turned a corner emotionally the last week, too. My anxiety seems to be quite a bit better, but I am definitely still praying God's hand of protection over my mind. Thanks for those prayers (and continued prayers, too)! :)
So, we're a day shy of 7 weeks, but since I have a minute to post, I'll post the pictures I took today.
