Eight Weeks
Braeden is eight weeks old today! I’m sitting at the Borders enjoying some much-needed time away while Aunt Sara watches him. I’ve gotten so much done today, including buying some new running shoes. I’m officially out of excuses. It’s time to start running again!
At this point, Braeden is starting to sleep longer at night. He goes to bed sometime between 6-8 and sleeps until about 10 or 11. He eats and then goes back to sleep until about 2-3 in the morning. On a good night, he’ll eat and go right back to sleep until 6:30. On a bad night, he’s up for an hour before I finally bring him into the bed or take him out to the couch. Then he sleeps until 6:30. So it looks like when I go back to work, I’ll be getting up at 6:30. Yikes! Right now it’s not so bad because Braeden and I take a nap until 9 or 10. I really don’t know how I’m going to function without my daytime naps when I go back to work next week.
Braeden spends a lot of time sleeping and eating but the few hours that he’s awake and playful are getting to be more fun. He smiles a lot and almost laughs sometimes. He’s starting to reach for things and grab onto things if they’re put next to his hand. And he’s really started to like his bouncer with the lights and music.
Next week is Braeden’s 2-month doctor visit. He’s going to get a lot of shots! I’m curious to see how much he weighs now. He’s getting so big! I’ve already had to retire a few of his sleepers because his legs don’t fit in them anymore. I have no idea where the long legs came from!
