1 month, 1 week, 1 day old....

Happy Fall!!

First time sleeping in his crib.

Floor time with Daddy. Not too amused by his rattles etc.

It snowed the last few days here, BUT I actually stepped out of the house ALONE and was able to go for a run/walk and organize stuff in storage. It was blustery cold due to the wind, so it was a quick visit outside. Rorek slept for about an hour and Andrew kept an eye on him.

We have been slowly getting Rorek accustomed to sleeping in the pac n play and sitting in the bouncy seat or swing. We have also started letting him lay on the floor a bit. He is getting to the stage of being okay laying and just staring around. Allowing me to type this, while he is in his bouncy seat, without crying is great!! In the late afternoon/ early evening he tends to get a bit cranky. A small case of colic I think. Our days are pretty mellow and quiet, and evenings I think are a bit over stimulating with more lights, more noises, etc.

My folks arrive a week from today to spoil Rorek with hugs kisses and cuddling. I have started a to do list for myself :). Things I haven't been able to do for the last 5 weeks. Nothing big, just a bunch of simple things that require extra hands to hold or comfort a baby. Although, I do really enjoy sharing naptime with Rorek and simply cuddling.

very warm blooded, spends most of his day in just a onesie

still working on the swing, bouncy seat, and pac n play....

25 days

50 minutes
calm and usually asleep

we like our hands

we do not like to be swaddled

40 minutes

We are in the process of learning what we "like" and what we "don't like".

And trying to learn to sleep somewhere less human like.

One day at a time....

Bath time...#2

I failed to take a picture of Rorek's bath, but remembered at the end of his second to get a picture. Bath number 2 went a LOT better than #1. He cried for the first and sat and stared for the second. I think maybe we improved the way we gave the bath or possibly the water temperature.
