I don't have any pictures to post today, but i will soon. Just thought I would give an update on how Otto is doing. First of all, he is getting HUGE! I honestly think he gets bigger throughout the day sometimes. We keep having to loosen the straps on his car seat. It could have something to do with the fact that he is eating every two hours round the clock. He has really changed in the past week. They say that things change at six weeks and I think they are right. He was seven weeks old this Wednesday and this past week has been such a growth week for him. He seems so much more content and happy. He is really smiling and now starting to giggle. Before he always needed to be bounced or walked around, or both. Now he is much more content to look around the room, watch what you are doing to just hang out. He never would do that before. Plus when he is not eating all the time he is starting to sleep better. We are also getting better at telling when he is crying because he needs to sleep and just hanging in there are rocking him to sleep. He is definitely much happier if he gets naps during the day.
Today we went to the park with some friends where he was wonderful. He sleep and nursed in his sling the whole time. It was so nice to be outside on the first nice day we have had in ages. Then we went out to lunch where aside from some fussiness he was wonderful. I would not have been able to do that as easily just a week ago. It is really amazing how much he is calming down. Although he is still the squirmiest baby I have ever seen. Although my mom says I was the same way, guess I can't blame that on Eric!
This weekend we are looking forward to the first cook out of the season here. We will be sure to take lots of pictures.
Will write more soon - phoebe
