The start of another week

On Friday Baby K turned 12 weeks old. Above left is a photo of him from the day we brought him home from the hospital, Mother's Day. Above right is a picture taken of him today in the same outfit. He certainly fills it out better! He's almost double his birth weight now.

Three out of the past four nights, he has slept from bedtime (anywhere between 7 and 9, depending on the night) to 5 or 6 in the morning. On the mornings he woke up at 5, we put him back to bed after feeding him and he slept another few hours. His trend seems to be about 11 straight hours of sleep at night. I know that such a stretch is great, especially for his age and weight, so I feel a little guilty when I say I wish he napped better during the day. He sleeps maybe two to three hours during the day, usually in 45 minute-1 hour chunks. Sometimes I think we should keep him up a little later at night, but he turns into Mr. Snarly if we try to keep him up longer than he wants to be up. I guess he's like his mommy in that respect. However, he gets his morning cheerfulness from his daddy-- when we go in to wake him up in the mornings and we sing his "good morning" song to him, he GRINS!

He's still enjoying bathtime. I think it's his favorite time of the day. One of us always gets in the tub with him, which seems to make it even more fun for him. Daddy played around with the bubbles tonight and I took this pic: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u73/ascwing/Keenan347.jpg

I love it!
