I haven’t written too much about Nathan but that is mostly because I only make sleeping all day and not sleeping all night sound exciting for so long. But things are progressing! He will be 9 weeks old this coming Monday – time has gone by so fast. He is such a content and easy baby. I don’t think he will be a serious baby but he isn’t the social butterfly that Jadon is. We moved him out of the co-sleeper in our room and into the crib in the office. I would halve preferred having the crib in Jadon’s room but Jadon likes to climb into the crib so it isn’t safe for them to be in the same room just yet. And that just baffles me – Jadon was so eager to get out of the crib and now that he is out, he can’t wait to get back in again.
Nathan is sleeping more than Jadon ever did at this stage of the game, thank goodness. Jadon woke up every 2 hours at night and Nathan is typically (but not always) sleeping about 5 hours through the night. Nathan started smiling around 5 weeks but it wasn’t so much a smile of recognition and that is what I have been waiting for. Yesterday when I walked up to his crib and said, “Good morning Nathan” he smiled and kicked his legs. Finally! That is such a wonderful feeling to know that your baby recognizes you and is happy to see you.
