sleep.

So unexpectedly my baby sleeps very well at night. He only wakes up once or twice to eat and then goes right back to sleep until I wake him up around 8. It is really nice because Bentley wakes up super early now around 6:30 and so I have some time for him before feeding the baby. We wrap him up super tight so he can't wiggle his arms around and it seems to be working. I am still a tad tired though. Bentley hasn't been taking very long naps and I have yet to take a nap since my mom left on Tuesday. Hopefully our sleeping babe stays a sleeping babe.

Gaige is now a week old and doing the normal things a one week old kid does. He sleeps, stares, burps, pees and poops. And he is so cute while he does it all. Especially when he flashes his cute dimples. He looks just like Bentley did now. I am recovering very well this time around. I think my body knows what it's in for this time. Bentley is having a little bit of a rough time not getting my full attention. You can tell he is interested in the baby but doesn't know that he can't hit him, poke him, and climb over him yet. And he has a hard time when I feed the baby. I feel bad for the poor kid.

All in all, things are going much better than I expected. Gaige sleeps and doesn't fuss hardly at all (for now). The only tough thing has been trying to figure out the schedules so that they both don't need to eat at the same time. Oh, and leaving my apartment is definitely a mission, even if I am just going downstairs to the playground. Bentley is starting to take steps so in no time he'll be cruising around without my help, thanks mom.

Yeah congrats Jaime and Matt and Bentley!! Another fun boy, we are so happy for you guys. I'm jealous that your one week old is sleeping better at night than my six month old but you deserve it! Both your boys adorable. Enjoy every snuggle!

It's been a long time since your last post and I'm sure Gaige looks totally different (but still a mini-me of bentley). How are you holding up? Is he still a great sleeper?
