Witt is 5 weeks old!


Witt Cravens, you are 5 weeks old today!  Here are a few things going on with you...

  • I'm guessing you weigh somewhere around 9 pounds.  You are wearing 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.  It makes me so sad that you have already outgrown your newborn clothes and diapers, but at the same time I am proud of how big you are getting!
  • You LOVE to eat and are still nursing every 3 hours during the day.  You have had a couple of nights of going 5 hours between feedings and all together skipping your 2nd nightime feeding and that makes your Mama VERY happy :)   You hit your 2nd growth spurt over the weekend and ate every 2 hours around the clock and you were pretty fussy, which meant we both got very little sleep.  As of today, you are back on track being your sweet self and eating every 3 hours...YAY!
  • This week you started making eye contact and "cooing" and you have to work so hard at rounding those little lips...TOO cute :)   You are "talking" a couple weeks earlier than your brother did...I am predicting this means you will be an early talker like Jack was an early walker... only time will tell.
  • You are doing great during tummy time and we work on exercising those neck muscles at least 3 times a day.  You are holding your head up like a champ and your big brother likes to lay on his tummy in front of you and cheer you on :) You do your best when laying on Daddy's chest...you hold your little head up so you can see your daddy's face while he is talking to you.
Witt, you are already such a sweet boy and as much as I want to say, "We can't wait to see the little boy you grow into", instead I will say, "SLOW DOWN GROWING and be my little baby as long as possible!"  Time is already going WAY too fast.

Witt is wearing the Feltman that his Uncle Cade wore home from the hospital 17 1/2 years ago :)
