My Kids: Darian

My brand new baby is now 7 weeks old. We have passed that magical 6 weeks where supposedly life is supposed to get back to normal. It is getting easier to get out of the house and we are all forgetting what life was like two months ago.

When I step on the bathroom scale holding Darian, it says he is about 11 lbs, but that can’t be all that accurate.  In any case, he is outgrowing the hats and one-sies that fit when he first came.

Darian is becoming a champion smiler, though sometimes it’s hard to catch it in a picture.  He can get his fist to his mouth at almost every attempt.  He does not seem to like the car seat and does not fall asleep there often.  But, at night he sleeps pretty well.  He normally goes to sleep about 10pm, wakes at 3am and again at 7am.  There are a handful of nights where he wakes 2-3 times, but normally it is just once.

His sisters seems a bit indifferent to him, almost like a toy they don’t have much interest in.  They both want to help hold his pacifier in while we drive, but other than that they don’t bother with him much. 

We are loving having new baby and loving watching him grow.
