Mommy and Daddy's "official" night out to CDC Gala
-This past week was a good one for all of us! I went to a breast feeding support group to discuss some of the gas Brooks was experiencing. Come to find out that I have an over-abundant milk supply with a forceful letdown...ok, more than you may want to know. Anyways, it causes gas, spit up, choking/gagging, little sleep, and frequent feeds. So, they had me try block nursing for 3 days to decrease my supply. It seemed to help out with all those symptoms! He had a few 5 hour stretches of sleep at night and had a 6 hour stretch last night!!!!! He only had one bad day and that was when we decided to stay in all day. He does best when out and about the town. Just wish the weather was better so we can go on walks outside.
-I had a great Saturday. I got my haircut while Josh watched Brooks for a few hours. We then went to the Carmel Dads Club Gala to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Grandma Jan, Aunt Tara and cousin Cassidy had a great time watching Brooks. I feel so blessed to have family close by that I trust to watch our little man.
-Today we plan to stay at home and watch the Colts in the Superbowl. We all have our Colts gear on and are excited to curl up on the couch to cheer them on. After a long night out last night...it will be nice to hang out with sweats on. GO COLTS!
-Brooks continues to grow before our eyes. He is wearing 3 mo clothes and I bet weighs close to 12.5 lbs now. He is becoming more vocal everyday. I love the times when he coos and smiles at my silly songs. He is more content in his swing, boppy and bouncy seat for longer periods of time. This helps me get a few things done around the house. He still does not nap long...but we are getting there! He is making much better eye contact and is responding to my voice. He loves music and relaxes at night to the white noise CD that I keep on loop. He noticed Brutus for the first time and thought he was silly:)
