Week 5

Frustrations: (#1) Even though Isaac is getting better at sleeping and not crying for hours straight, we still had one MAJOR slip up this week when it came to that. He just would not stop crying for hours and hours. Even driving him around in the car only subdued him for a little while. That was a really hard night, but alas, he did fall asleep eventually. (#2) Now that’s he is a little over a month old, he is starting to be more alert and awake during the day, which is really hard on me since I can’t do much. He wants to be held constantly which has left paperwork undone, and the apartment a complete disaster. (#3) I upped his formula to 2 ½ ounces every oh 2 hours.. and sometimes he’s hungry by 1 ½ hours.. after his doctor told me no more then two just a few weeks ago, but if I just give Isaac 2 ounces he’s crying for more with in an hour. I always worry that he’s going to get fat… but I don’t know.. >.<
Accomplishments: (#1) Smiles… Real happy smiles have come along. (#2) Along with those cute toothless smiles that isn’t gas have come giggles, happy squeals, and happy coos that just tickle him pink and makes me and every one else smile until our face hurts. (#3) He is getting really good at holding his head up by himself, which means less worry for me on making sure I hold his head up EVERY time I hold him.
He’s learning new things all the time, discovering new things to do, see, hear, taste even. I had eaten French Fries for dinner one night this last week and forgot to wash my hands afterwards and sometimes he likes sucking on my fingers, so he got a really good salty French fry taste off of that finger he was sucking on. The first look was complete shock then a cute lil’ smile probably saying ‘mmm, something other then formula!’ tehehe
