I can't believe Will is already one month old. He's starting to develop
quite the personality and is learning how to communicate via various grunts,
screeches and the loudest cry I've ever heard ... seriously ... this boy can
wail. He's having a bit more wake time during the day and will sit contently in
his bouncer chair, checking out the world around him. Don't get little man
overtired/overstimulated, though. That very, very, very loud cry will make its
appearance with little to no warning.
Will's doing great at night. Luckily for us, he never had any issues with
day/night reversal. Initially, he struggles a bit to go down at night, but once
he finally realizes it's night time, he's ready to snooze. He'll get up once to
eat in the middle of the night and then early, early morning, but then he goes
right back down. Naps, however, are another story. We're working on getting him
to nap in his crib, but he often prefers to take a snooze in his swing or my
arms. Apparently, he thinks the crib is only for nighttime.
Ella enjoys her big sister duties and loves to "read" stories to
Baby Will as she calls him. She also will show him all of her toys and his
toys. And she can't get enough hugs and kisses from Will. She tries to sneak
hugs when he's in his swing, which just doesn't work out very well.
Just like
his big sister, we (and the doctor) suspect Will has acid reflux. We started
him on medicine on Friday, so hopefully that starts to kick in. Even with tummy
issues, Will weighed around 10.5 pounds. We have a big boy on our hands!
