So, on to the updates. 19 weeks has brought a few new milestones for our little one. We finally had to stop swaddling him as he was getting a little big for it, and he was getting too good at rolling over in bed. There was nothing wrong with him rolling over, it was just that if he rolled over while he was in the swaddle he couldn't get right side up because his arms were tucked in the swaddle blanket. Along with the end of the swaddle came the end of using the sleep positioner. I know they were taken off the market about a year ago, but I don't care what they say, that thing is KEY to a good night sleep in the early months. Thank you to Amanda R. for loaning hers to us for the past several months!
I think Jeremy and I were both a little wary of the first night we were going sans swaddle and positioner. But, the little man surprised us and did great! Knock on wood, he continues to do great and sleep great. I thank God every night that we have a good sleeper, because we all know Mom needs to get her sleep or she is not a happy camper!!! We have continued with our nighttime routine of putting him to bed around 7:30 or 8 pm and he usually will get up around 6 am on weekdays and around 6:30 to 7 on weekends.
Other points of note:
- moved up to a size 3 diaper
- loves taking a stroll in his new big boy stroller
- starting to really take notice of Ollie
- loves to laugh and SMILE
- moved up to taking between 7 1/2 and 8 oz in his bottle at school (he gets 2 BM bottles and 1 formula bottle)
We are having so much fun getting to see his little personality start to develop. He is truly a happy baby, and we are loving every minute of having him in our lives!
