How He Grows...







Since I was pregnant, I have heard, “Enjoy the time with your baby, they grow up so fast”. I have been absorbing Damani since he was born, but I am still amazed at how fast he has grown. It was quite a moment when he finally started growing out of the smallest clothes he had. Now he is 12 lbs and getting fatter and longer every day. We are retiring his pajamas and onesies after trying to put them on and his body stretches them out to the extreme. Damani has discovered his pipes, and has become a very vocal baby. He yells, laughs, talks, and listens closely to you when having a conversation with him. He is still waking up a few times a night, and we are trying to find ways to get him to sleep through more of the night (suggestions welcome!).

Hmmmm Have you tried rubbing rum on his teeth?

We like using routine. He has dinner, drinks some water and rests in his chair for a bit, then we have bath time, then go to bed... i give him a bottle (a big bottle) and read him a story - then he is out til at least 6:30.

The big bottle was something recommended by my doctor. She said you really have to push them to eat as much as they can. You don't want them to throw up, but you want them to be very full, and they will start sleeping better. It worked pretty early for us.

good luck!!
