Here are a couple of pictures we took outside tonight. And look, Alli and Zoe made the pic! The last one is of him in another "big boy" outfit...real shorts and a shirt!

Sleep

Eston slept from 9 pm until 4 am Tuesday night and also Wednesday night! That's a long time! 7 hours! The first night, I thought was just a fluke. Travis did get up around 3 to check on him, because we were both a little worried. Daycare may be wearing him out! Although they say he takes good naps there. Hopefully this is a lasting trend.

The second day of school didn't go so well. We forgot his swaddle blanket that is necessary for naps. So, he hardly slept all day. He also didn't eat as much as he normally does, so that meant he was hungry and tired. He cried most of the day. However, the third day was so much better. He napped and ate well. He is doing well with this transition.

Here is a picture of him in shorts and a shirt...big boy clothes-not a onesie! He's getting chunky! Check out the round Charlie Brown face.

I just realized that most of the pictures I've posted have Eston sleeping. He really doesn't sleep all that much! That's just when we have a free second to grab the camera.

Today is Eston's first day at school and my first day back to work. I made Travis take him this morning so I didn't get too sad and arrive at work in tears. I've done well! Trav said Eston was happy this morning and he sat him in a swing. I stopped by at lunch and he was sleeping. Sounds like his morning went well!

Well, everyone at my mom's office said he's getting chunky. I guess she had told them all he was skinny. Not anymore! He's definitely filling out. What else is going on....He starts school Tuesday when I go back to work. He's been sleeping in his crib and in the car seat for naps and at night. He's started smiling at us a little bit when we talk to him. It's been so hot, we can't go outside much to sit on the deck or go for walks. The second picture is him sitting in his bumbo seat a few weeks ago.

He's growing! At the doctor yesterday he weighed 11 lbs 5 ounces. They didn't give me a percentile but said that was about average for his age. Next time I will ask. But I figured that was pretty good for being so early and for having stomach surgery. He has started to grab some things...my hair when I lay him on the changing pad. He's become so much more observant too. Loves to look around, especially outside. And he's smiling...kinda random, but it's a smile!! His new place to sleep is in his car seat. We've put him on the dryer with it running or anywhere else there is noise. The stove fan in the kitchen works well also!
