Tummy Time

Tummy Time wore my little sweet pea out.

Is it me or have I just been taking a lot of pictures the last few days?? I can't help it. Riley has been very alert since birth, but the last week or so he has started making noises and cracking these "half" smiles. I'm anticipating any day to get the real deal smile. He is staying awake longer during the day. I never realized how much he really slept when we first brought him home. The last two weeks he has only been taking about an hour nap at a time and then he is up until time to eat. We are still on our 4-hour eating schedule which I love at night. We're wondering when he will actually sleep through the night...meaning for longer then 4 hours at a time. Some people say it just happens all of sudden...I sleep so lightly I would probably wake up and run to check to see if he is breathing if he slept more then 4 or 5 hours. All in all, it really isn't that bad. There are nights that he doesn't sleep solid, but that just gives Riley and Mommy time to bond and talk while Daddy sleeps. We are leaving him alone with someone else other then ourselves today for the first time. Oh, it's only Nana and Powpaw. We're going to do our taxes and I didn't want to take him into the tax place. It will only be about an hour or so, but my mind will not be on my taxes. Riley has a check up appointment on Thursday and gets a shot for the first time since the hospital. Oh my, Mommy is going alone and has to watch all by herself!!!
