Sorry it's been a while. The little guy has been keeping us busy! He's still struggling with his days and nights. During the daytime he's an angel but at night it's like he turns into a different child! I still think he's as cute as ever, even when he's upset and fussy.
We gave him his first bottle and he did pretty good with it. We had to use a certain kind of bottle (not the ones I originally wanted to use), but once we figured that out we were good to go. We were also able to get him to finally take a paci, but this of course also had to be a newborn paci like the hospital used. He seems to be a picky little guy, but that's okay ...he's worth it.
His little belly button came off and so we gave him his first bath! He didn't really like it at first but then after he felt the warm water I think he started to think it was nice.
Go here to look at some pictures! For some reason blogger won't let me upload any pictures on here right now.
Hey Sarah - he's adorable!!! You may have already tried this, but I thought I'd pass along some advice given to me when Kemper had his days/nights mixed up. They told me not to necessarily keep him up during the day (overtired baby is no fun either!) but to make sure that the house was light and that I didn't always put him down for his daytime naps in a dark room. Then, once it got to be 7ish, we would keep the house darker, speak really quietly and start doing a "bedtime routine". It took about a week, but it really did help him get the days and nights un-confused! :) And, still to this day, that same bedtime routine works like a charm and we don't have any problems getting him to bed! Good luck - that was one of the roughest times because you're just so tired it's hard to function but it'll get better, and as you've said, it's all worth it!
