We keep reminding ourselves that developmentally, he's only about 3 weeks old. He went through a phase last week where he didn't want to be put down. Looking at BabyCenter, it seemed pretty common for other babies born around his due date. And it makes sense, that he would have some kind of instinct to promote bonding right after birth. Cosleeping? Was never going to do it. Did it almost every night last week just so we could all sleep. Overall, he is a good baby. When he cries, there's usually a fixable reason--he's hungry, gassy, or needs a cuddle. Or, at least for today, he wants his mom and dad to stop coming at him with that big blue bulb. He sounds congested and we've been using the aspirator to little avail. Saline spray will be next. That should be an adventure.
Sadie and Katie have really taken to him. They want to sniff him all the time and when he cries, they are on high alert. Lola sniffs at him occasionally. Other than that she really doesn't care that much about the newest human.
It's hard to believe that he'll be two months on Friday. He's still so itty bitty! James is wearing the newborn sizes, because the preemie is just way too short, but they are still really big on him. We've had a couple of friends be very generous with hand-me-downs, so he'll be very stylish for quite a while!
