I just wanted to get on here and say what a good baby Teddy has become! He sleeps 5-6 hours a night in his co-sleeper and then has a short feed and goes right back to sleep until 8:30, short feed again and asleep until 9:30 or 10:30.
He loves to smile and is talking, talking, talking. He talks to everyone, including his mobile and his best friend, the monkey in the crib bumpers. He looks at the monkey and just smiles. I guess it makes sense why Nick calls him Mr. Monkey...oh and I've been dubbed, Mrs. Monkey!
He has recently discovered his hands and he has a great love affair with them. He puts both hands together, like he's praying and goes to town on them! In the middle of the night, he gets his hands free and slurps on them until we wake up. However, we have to reswaddle because he will slurp so much he wakes himself up!
Last night he rolled onto his side during playtime on the floor gym. He was quite happy there and he did it again while he was sleeping (while slurping). He also figured out how to hold his Wubanub pacifier on his own in the store last night. He loved it! But he also would yank it out of his mouth when he moved his hand and then look at us like, "what happened?".
Anyone who knows me, knows I've never been a baby person. I liked to see the babies and hold them for a few minutes (okay seconds!) and then I was good to go. But I have a LOVE affair with my baby! I do have to thank Eleanor for breaking me in though. I couldn't keep my hands off her either!
