Week 9 - Tell me about it!

Week 9 - Tell me about it!
(10/11/09 - 10/17/09)

First let me say that I am the proud mommy of a 2 month old. It is hard to believe that Andrew is two months old already, boy time flies when you have one kid but when it is two kids...WATCH OUT!

Andrew has started "talking" this week. It is to a point now where Andrew will smile at you about 85% of the time now when you talk baby talk to him or make funny faces...sometimes he will just smile because he sees you or hears you talking (which is really cool). But what has changed this week is that sometimes it isn't just smiles but coos too! It is really kinda funny because his "coos" and "talking" can range from a cute little gurgley noise to a hard to describe "cute scream".....I don't know maybe I should describe it more like a squeal.......nope "cute scream" is more accurate.

Anyway the baby conversations have started and Paul and I are making complete fools of ourselves talking back to Andrew in weird noises and tones!

Sleeping still stinks, and I am to a breaking point! His sleeping during the day tends to be about normal, (at least to what I had written down in Jacob's baby book for him at this age) and his daytime sleep is very sound. However I might get one night of great sleep (5 hour block followed by 3 hours) and then he will decide to hardly sleep and toss and turn the whole next night.......I wish I had answers as to why I can't get this kid on a decent schedule. He isn't colicky and he sleeps soundly for the most part when he is asleep he just doesn't stay asleep for longer than 2 1/2 hours at a time during the night. Oh well....this too shall pass.....hopefully!
