Right about now, 4 weeks ago, our little man came into the world to us. It has certainly been a blur, but a completely wonderful one. It's hard not to fall more and more in love with our handsome little man.
Over the last week, Miles has been cooing even more. Yesterday we had a full on "coo"nversation (get it?) where he would speak and then I would speak and so on. We went back and forth about 6 times, and my heart just melted. He's reflex smiling all the time now, but it's getting to seem a little like he knows what he is doing. Either way, seeing him smile is amazing.
Yesterday I went out to lunch with my mommies group for the first time. 3 of us have kids, while 2 more have yet to deliver. Only 1 of the pregnant women could be there, as the other 3 of us huddled our strollers around a small table for lunch. It was nice to hang out with some women exactly in the same situation as I am in. Lots of chatting about breast feeding, sleeping, and useful devices around the house.
Speaking of which, it seems that our Miles is a "hold-me" baby. Temperamentally, he needs right now to be held. He could be dead asleep and if you put him down, he wakes right up. He hasn't taken to the swing or to the rocker yet and seems to know it is not a person holding him. I am hoping he grows into them as it is a little tiring only ever having one arm. Everything I have read has said that he should grow out of it, that you can't spoil them this young, and to enjoy the time while he wants to be held because it will change so quickly.
He is sleeping great for a 4 week old... provided that he gets some holding throughout the night. If we put him just in the crib, he will wake up every 2 - 3 hours. But if he gets to sleep on Tim (literally on Tim's chest) he can sleep upwards of 5 - 6 hours. This won't last once Tim goes back to work on Monday (so said for me), but I am enjoying eeking out the last of the long-ish nights while I can still get them.
