Declan is now 11 days old and such a sweet baby! I couldn't have asked for a better boy! Since he was 3 days old he was feeding on a 2 1/2-3 hour schedule and going around 4 hours at night. I'm a big fan of the baby wise method:) And Declan is doing so well on this schedule. He is so content and really only cries when he wakes up from his nap and is hungry. I'm finding it so much easier the 2ND time around. I had so much anxiety when Lilah was a newborn, was she hungry? tired? I don't have any of that with Declan. Experience is a good thing when it comes to newborns. He does have quite a plugged little nose, poor guy, but the saline drops seem to be helping. And he still nurses well and sleeps well at night. Lilah is very infatuated and possessive of her baby brother. She does tend to smother him a bit, but loves to hold him and sing and talk to him. Aaron only went back to work yesterday. It was very nice having him around as Mr. mom:)
This past weekend was really fun! It was my niece Cali's 1st birthday on Thurs and we celebrated on Sat. Aaron's sister Katie and Ian and their son Aaron came over from the Island for the weekend. So good to spend time with them.
