Nolan's been a bit fussier than usual and more tired. I'm guessing it has something to do with the infection or the medicine that treats it. The diaper explosions have been frequent too. I still have a hard time telling what is in a normal diaper versus on with issues. I'm continuing to keep an eye on anything that seems different but as a first time parent it often can be hard to tell what's normal and what isn't.
But anyway, enough about the issues. We have been having a lot of fun too. I am really enjoying all the sweet sounds he makes now and how he's a bit more interactive. Here are some pictures from the week!
On Monday, Sydney had her yearly check up and Nolan came along. I was lucky Nolan behaved so well because the doctor was running behind.
I love this picture of Nolan and Sydney doing tummy time together. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a bit concerned about Nolan's head and have been trying to keep him off his back when possible. Note to soon to be parents, try to be aware of the way the baby lays their head. I never really thought about it before but with our next baby I'll definitely be more aware of that. Babies spend a lot of time on their backs between the crib, car seat, or bouncy seat, and I don't think I realized how important it is to try and give them time on their bellies or more upright while their head continues to form.
This week Nolan also started to make new sounds. In addition to the coos and sweet noises he has been squealing a little more as seen above!
Love these new pjs. A lot of his footed pjs are getting too small. I'm not a fan of snaps either so whenever I see cute footed pj with a zipper I like to buy those. Up until this point, I haven't had to buy many clothes. We were given lots of newborn, 3, and 6 month clothes. Some
6 month still fit but typically I'm buying 9 and 12 month sizes now.
On Thursday, Nolan had a play date with Preston and his mom Emily. She is a stay at home mom as well. We met on a walking trail when I was pregnant, and it turned out she lives on my mom's street, went to high school in NJ with my sister in law, and she knows my brother in law. It's a small world sometimes! I'm so glad we met and have become friends this year!
Today we visited Jeremy's office and ran errands. And that's all the updates from this week. More soon!
