Growing up!

My baby is growing up!! I am always excited for every stage...but I can't help being sad at times when little babies grow up. 

Kai guy is getting so big! It was probably around 6 1/2 weeks old that he started smiling… And a couple of times it seems like he cooed. I just couldn't get him to repeat it all the time. So I didn't necessarily call it a milestone. But he pretty consistently doesn't now (where he smiles). 

We all just adore him… It has been so sweet and calming to have a little baby in our home. His little spirit is so sweet :-) He is so relax and chill… He had a little tummy trouble around four weeks. Where he started to get gassy and a little bit fussy. So we switched to the purple target brand… And finally about three weeks later he's doing really well! He is a very patient baby.

His eyes are darkening up. There are days where they look like the color of steel blue. And days where they look like they will definitely turn brown. His hair is still long and cute… But his receding hairline is looking more prominent. So, we may shave it soon. His skin has had a little bit of acne. But it seeming to clear up a little bit. 

He no longer fits in newborn clothes. And he is in number 1 to 2 diapers. He eats every 3 to 4 hours. And sleeps really well for the night and wakes up just to eat. He eats about 4 ounces.

 

I'm almost done with his nursery. It has just taken me a while… It's harder to get things done with three boys…and I have been sick for the past month. 

My Little Baby Growing Up

Koda is getting so big!!!!! Several times a day he stretches all the way out (on the kitchen table, on the couch, on a mattress, next to me, etc) and says mom "I'm getting bigger". It's so cute how he likes to measure his size. We need to start marking his height on the wall. :-) 

However, my little boy still has remanants of my little baby. Last week I caught him rubbing the edge of his blanket to fall asleep. He's done this ever since he was a baby. He likes the soft minky blankets. And he still sometimes does it. 

I miss my little baby, but get so excited for my grown up boy. 

So big!!!

The other night I was putting Kashe to sleep and I heard a motor sound. I came out and koda had dumped his dirty clothes basket in the washer and started a load. It was a little squeaky since there was no water in the basin and it was in the spin cycle. 

He constantly is telling me..."I did it". He likes to do everything himself. Today he had a chair to his closet and he was selecting his shirt to wear. 

I love my little bear growing up. It's so fun!!!
