Grady is just over two weeks old now and every day brings a new and different joy, challenge, and/or obstacle. He is such a sweet snuggler and his big doe eyes are to die for. The first week of nursing him was a challenge, he liked to pucker up like a little kissy fish and did some serious damage to the Momma. But we had a few little talks and about 50 million "latch breaks" and he's doing so much better! Daddy was home today so Grady and I went to Mom's Club where I got to weight the little booger. 9lbs exact. While he is gaining at a healthy rate, I feel as if he should weigh about 20lbs already as frequently as he's eating! Every 2ish hours during the daytime hours, and every 2-3 at night. I love the quiet time I get to spend cuddling him for the first couple of night time feedings, but my sweet little man turns into Grunty-McGrunts-Alot between the hours of 3-7 a.m. I hope we get to the bottom of what is causing him to be so uncomfortable before we all turn into zombies. Ava is a fantastic big sister and has a special kinda love for "baby". She wants to know where he is first thing in the morning, I'm talking before she even has her morning banana. And as most of you know that morning banana is like her morning coffee. She brings him blankies and only steals his binx occasionally now. Overall, we are all settling in and working on a routine, and a sense of what normalcy is for our new family of four.
