Caelan is one month old!
Caelan turned one month old on Sunday. I can't believe the first month went by so fast. It seems like we just brought him home from the hospital. He is eating great and growing like crazy. He's so long he is already filling out his 0-3 month clothes length-wise. It won't be much longer and he will have to go up to the next size. He is a GREAT sleeper. He normally goes to bed between 6-8 pm and usually has a 5-6 hour stretch of sleeping, although this past week he has had a few 7-7 1/2 hour stretches and even slept 8 hours straight on the eve of turning 1 month old! I definitely can't complain and am enjoying getting more sleep now. Sometimes after rocking him and putting him down he will wake up and fuss or cry for a few minutes, but he is getting pretty good at putting himself back to sleep. I have also put him down in his room after rocking him so that he is drowsy, but not asleep and then he will go to sleep on his own after a few minutes. Caelan does get pretty fussy if he is overtired. Then he has a really hard time going to sleep and staying asleep, and the only thing that will quiet him down is motion. At those times he spends a lot of time in the swing or I wear him in a carrier with his pacifier. He has gotten much better at taking the pacifier and it helps calm him down a lot. Ayden wasn't a fan of the pacifier, but I think it helps Caelan, and myself, because he doesn't use me as a pacifier when he has his fussy periods. When he is awake he's really alert and coos a lot. We've seen some half smiles from him, but not a full one yet.
Ayden loves his little brother and always has a kiss for him before nap time and going to bed at night. He also is always saying how cute he is. He's getting pretty good at ignoring the crying, and luckily has never gotten up in the middle of the night from Caelan crying. Sometimes he will run to me and say that the baby is crying. He also wants Caelan to go everywhere he does: in the car, outside to play, taking a bath, etc.
We're getting used to life with two little boys. It's crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't trade it for anything and am so glad I am able to stay home and take care of them!
