First bath and new onesies

This week in Little Sir news:
  • We gave him a pacifier for the first time per our pediatrician, since he seems to do a lot of "snacking" when he nurses and probably isn't even actually hungry, but just wants something to suck on for comfort. He is getting better at the paci, but still isn't very good at holding it in - it pops out a lot.
  • He weighed in at his 2 week appointment at 8 lb 15 oz!
  • We started cloth diapering this week, he is finally big enough! You might be able to see his huge bubble butt in pictures. Cloth diapers look bulky but they work great so far!
  • Since his cord fell off, he is now wearing a lot of the onesies that friends and family have given him. We are attempting to take pictures of each one, so be sure to check my Flickr photostream for pictures of him wearing clothes you might have given him! I try to tag them when I remember which ones they are.
  • On Friday we attended the "Materni-tea" at the birth center with other babies born at the birth center the month that he was born. Unfortunately, our camera died on me before I could take pictures so I will have to get those from a friend who was there.
  • At the Materni-tea, when on the blanket with the other babies, Little Sir kissed a girl baby for the first time. Well, it was probably more that he thought her nose might be a nipple and was trying to suck on it. But she made the same mistake and kissed him back. Can't wait to get those pictures!!
  • Little Sir is now sleeping in his crib in his room. I mentioned this in an earlier post, but he makes tons of grunting noises in his sleep so we've had to move him for real. He doesn't seem to notice or mind at all.
  • He had his first "real" bath last night! No more dirty baby!
I have really been looking forward to when we could finally submerge Little Sir for a bath because he HATED sponge baths. We had to wait until one week after his circumcision (which is healing well - almost completely healed).

There are a few photos of his first bath on Flickr, make sure to check the photostream for all the photos (too many to upload into two separate locations)
Here is a fun movie Christian took of Little Sir during his Tummy Time. He does pretty good at lifting his head but he gets frustrated after about 5 minutes and starts fussing so we only do it for 5 minutes at a time:

Everyone asks how he is sleeping: he doesn't sleep too much yet. He's only 2 weeks and 5 days, probably the max he's ever slept in one stretch is 3 hours. Last night he went a little over 3 at one point, but just as often he only sleeps 1 hour at a time during the night.
I am sure looking forward to when he will sleep for a little longer!
